The S.O. and I have been here for over 6 weeks today. They have been pretty pleasant on the whole, and together we have settled into a nice a little routine. I’ve been trying for a while to coalesce my...

Movies………

The S.O. and I went to see Get Smart on Sunday. If it was a plane landing on the carrier here is the grade it would have gotten: Way too much power on start, big settle in the middle, power on, flat at...

To think for themselves. The Iraqis that is. I admit, that I marveled at this little tidbit in the news: Maliki said he was concerned about military pressure aimed at Iran regarding the country’s...

Agitated……..

That’s what usually happens to me when I read buffoonery masquerading as patriotism and rational thought. Which is why I should not, usually do not, go over and read Blackfive and the  gang of high...
