Prague is really beautiful!

And it looks like a good time could be had-if I was free to explore it…………. There are indications of some really primo nightlife it seems. Not that I am going to see any of it. Have seen plenty of...

Drizzle Drizzle Drazzle Drone……..

Time for this one to go home! Albeit-more than a little sadly. One of the things I marvel about, in an age of jet air travel, is how I can wake up in a vibrant city like Munich, and then 18 hours later...

Home……..

I thought it was going to be like sliding down a greased rope to go home. I was wrong. Actually getting out of Munich worked fine. The hotel we had chosen was right above the S-bahn stop of S-8, the...

Food post

I did more eating than I should have this trip. (Also consumed copious amounts of my favorite food group-beer). Dinners on these trips with the S.O. are always an event I kind of dread-not because I...

Sometimes you just have to enjoy the moment……….

While I was gone, my Amazon order came! (It was supposed to have been here before we left). Besides buying this book: Which I have been meaning to read for a while now-and has applicability to the...

Prague

While I thoroughly loved Vienna and am ready to go back-Prague had to be the highlight of the trip. It started with dinner the night we arrived: Our hotel had a wine restaurant in the basement-some...

Beat Army!

I am not a Naval Academy graduate and I am quite proud of that fact. However when the Army Navy game approaches I always root for Navy. This year is no different:

Oh why not?

Look at babes. I’m rooting for Navy too! Maybe watch the game on a big TV with one of these on the end table? And at half time-compare notes with a new friend:

All is right with the world

Navy won and Alabama lost. Life is good-and it will be especially fun to see the chagrined faces on Monday morning at work. Where I live, it is considered a sacrilege not to worship at the altar of SEC...

December 7, 1941

Can’t forget this day. Especially when December 7 2008 is also a Sunday. Plenty of words to describe it-I’d prefer to let one picture talk: We honor their memory!

Somehow, I don’t think this is going to stop anyone from doing it………

Sorry, Kitty……………..

So what am I, chopped liver?

I mean, my dues to the association are paid up. The dues to the US Naval Institute are paid up, that it is. Yet, once again yours truly gets slighted-so that they can promote the work of some other...

One guy who does not need to stay around…….

For the most part, I have been impressed with the cabinet appointments President Elect Obama has made. His more liberal supporters are disappointed he did not appoint Kool-aid drinkers, but by seeking...

Not always what it seems……..

The appointment of Gen Shinseki to be VA Secretary that is. I have no doubt that he will do a good job as VA Secretary, but I’m not reading into it the same kind of political vindictiveness that most...

Odds and ends………..

Some different pictures from our trip. Suffice it to say I kept my eye out for something more than a little out of the ordinary. For example I stumbled across this dog, taking a drink from a fountain:...

Video follies……..

Sometimes a video works (Warning this video is NSFW!): Link: And sometimes it doesn’t! The first video is a Danish commercial for washing machines that is actually quite funny-even with the nudity. (...

Weekends and my inner karma………

Yesterday we went to my company’s Christmas party. An OK affair-save for the fact that with one exception, none of us work in the same place-we simply have the distinction of having the same employer....

A common sense woman……..

Camille Paglia…call your office. Its refreshing to see a woman understand what makes a man tick: When I meet a guy for the first time, I have no problem with his eyes wandering south for a second to...

I think they are still a little touchy about that……

Pat Buchanan-no friend to union labor-makes a great point: Be it BMW, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi or Hyundai, the South has become a sanctuary for foreign assembly plants, for which...
