Well LJ, I think I miss you.  Where to start?  Where to end!  I'd like to make a post, but to do it justice, I'd have to use up 20 or 30 pages and I just don't have the time.  I guess that's the whole problem:  time.

I have a new life. Kind of.

I now live in Paris.  I now travel a lot.  It seems like I hardly have any discretionary time of my own ( Read more... )

I gotta find a break in all this or I'm going to lose what little of my mind I have left.  My left eye is starting to do that Scrat thing...  A break is coming if I can survive 'till then.

And I need to re-find a guitar teacher.  I figure that shouldn't be too hard in Paris.  Hell, I'll bet they even do take-out!

So hop hippity hop back to Paris ( Read more... )

Wow LJ. We have been together quite awhile now.  I feel bad about neglecting you lately.

For awhile there I was pretty good at regular updates (whining).  What I lacked in quality I made up in quantity.  Fine - that’s kind of the American way really.

The times that I write are typically the times when I have the least to write about: down times, ( Read more... )

This is just an informative sort of post because I feel that I should record it.  My father-in-law passed away this morning.  I've made other posts about him over the last six years.  He had a massive stroke in 2003 and has been declining ever since.  In the end, this was difficult for everyone.  It has taken quite a toll on my mother-in-law for ( Read more... )

I'm evil.  The world is probably lucky that I'm not just a little more evil.  Or that I haven't discovered a cause to die for.  And I don't hate very many people but don't push it!

Here's the thing:

I'll be flying soon - going to West Virginia of all places.  I've known people who work for the N.T.S.B. and they didn't seem like idiots.  I'm also ( Read more... )

So, right after the thing with the arm fiasco, we made a hop hop hippity hop round trip to Paris to scope out the new school for the Polliwogs.  I'm pretty happy with our choice and I hope they all get in.  The MSU is not all that excited about it.  The only concrete reason she can give for her lack of enthusiasm is that the International School ( Read more... )

Well, it's 10:30 PM on my 40th birthday.  I'm finally home.  I'll be headed for bed soon.  The dude survived and the last time I saw him he was doing pretty well.  He has a metal "skewer" in his right radius and a temporary cast on his arm.  The catheter has been removed from his hand.  His Mom is spending tonight at the hospital with him.  I did ( Read more... )
