The Franks ensrined, within a national epic, the ambush at the pass of Roncesvalles of one of their great Carolingian heroes, Roland, so it must be human nature to somehow glorify our defeats to make them a little more palatable. I've done it twice, once long ago, and now, in these past few weeks. Tragic love affairs! Oh, well! To those who have witnessed my...

I'm glad Pittsburgh won the Superbowl, but it was still a disappointing game. It lacked razzle-dazzle. The high point of the whole show was the Rolling Stones. Awesome still!

The groundhog saw his shadow. After several weeks of almost balmy weather, we have snow on the ground again. A week ago the sportscasters were grousing about the possibility that there wouldn't be any snow in Detroit for the Super Bowl. Be careful what you wish for....

I've been taking it a little bit too easy! All this time, lots to do, and I ain't doin' it! Done some thinking, though.
About nigh on to fifteen years ago, just before the New Year, my sister moved into the house I was renting with her husband and son. She and her hubby were on the outs, and within two years they got a...

I had a pretty good Christmas. After opening presents, we spent the day eating and watching vids. No football! Yippee! I love to play it but hate to watch it! Drives me nuts to see grown men get all emotionally involved watching some stupid game they have absolutely no control over.
I got the "Brothers Grimm" and "Serenity" on DVD and an inevitable pair of...

Other than the cost of living, Brisbane has my partners family and the University he has been accepted to. It all kinda came together in one tidy package.
I love it here tho. Much more than Sydney. There is a time and a place for Sydney, in my life anyway, and it has past. Good memories tho.
P.S. Looking forward to seeing 'Serenity' myself... any good??

Well, Christmas shopping is done as far as I can tell. But there's always somebody I miss.
My brother and I went out two nights ago and bought for our brother and sister and their families. We all get together Christmas morning to open presents, have a big feast, watch the crummy football games and nap. It's a tradition.

Ambrose Bierce's "Devil's Dictionary":
"Patriotism, n. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name.
In Dr Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first."
You can't help but be thrilled and inspired by Bierce's cheerful...

Tomorrow is another anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, and marks this country's entry into the most extensively brutal war in mankind's history. Big wars, little wars--to the ones who are dying it doesn't matter if only one person or 40 million of them are dying with her or him. But still WWII stands out as the biggest monument to mindless brutality. The "Good...
