Okay, the wife has discovered Twitter. Not sure what to make of that.

Those of you who follow "The Road BacK" I have news. The newest chapter of The Road Back has just been posted over at tenhawk presents.

Happy New Year :)

A great and glorious 2012 to all of you.

Oh dear, I'm starting to get worried.

Been awhile since I posted. How is everyone out there doing? I hope to have some fanfic stories to put up before too long.

Watching season 2 of the X-files on DVD. A little dated back to the early 1990s. Those cell phones they carry around are huge and the recorders they show still have reel to reel tapes. A blast from the past.

Okay, let me get this straight. In England and Wales, Squatters can not be evicted from property without an extensive court proceeding unless you can show they actually broke into the property (isn't that assumed from the fact they are inside without permission and not let in by the owners) and then it is a shorter court proceeding. Squatters also have rights that can be enforced against the owner of the property. This includes the homes of people who went away for the weekend for holiday and come home to find squatters have taken over their residence and their personal property (Wouldn't that be theft?).

I must admit this is radically different from the system I am use to where people trespassing on property are generally removed promptly and you don't need a Judge to get the task done.

I fear for the future of the United Kingdom.

So my cellphone rang yesterday. It was an automated phone message from work to let me know that an earthquake had happened in the eastern United States and I should check the internet to see if my office was one of the ones impacted.

Wouldn't I have noticed an earthquake had destroyed my office without going to my computer? I would think I would have noticed the rubble since I was there for a large portion of the afternoon.

Ah Government bureaucracy.

A quick announcement about the fanfic "The Road Back." There is a new location where you can find the entire series to date. Tenhawk has been gracious enough to allow it to be posted at his website.

I want to thank him for his kindness. It is very much appreciated.

Over the past couple of weeks, I have posting the entire series there and finished earlier tonight. So if you get the chance wander over and take a look.

Work on part 56 continues, if you have ideas would want to suggest for future story lines, drop me a line.

Been watching some of the news coverage in the United Kingdom. Hoping all my friends there are safe and well.

Watching the circus in Washington, puts in the mind to read The Guns of August. Another story of miscalculation and mistakes heading towards disaster.

Heard at lunch yesterday during a conversation about the debt negotiations in Washington.

"LBJ would have gotten it done."

First Off, Happy Birthday to Charisma Carpenter

Allow me to say "Hubba, Hubba Hubaa!!

Second, went and saw Captain American tonight. Very good movie. I liked it and am very much looking forward to the movies coming out in 2012.

Happy Birthday Sela Ward!!!

Allow me to say, Hubba, Hubba!!

May have pushed myself a little bit too much going back to work when I did. Feeling run down and I still have one more court hearing to go today, plus whatever defense attorneys decide I HAVE to talk to them today. They don't like the answer I give them and the solution they come up with with is to keep nagging me until they get the answer they want. I may turn off my cell phone to get some quiet time.

Got back from the hospital this morning. Surgery went fine, but there were complications during the recovery (my blood pressure was too high among other things), so they kept me overnight. Everything was fine this morning and they sent me home. Of course, I'm pretty sore where they did the operation, so they I am taking it easy over the holiday.

Off to the Hospital in the morning for the surgery. It's outpatient, but still I'm a little nervous. Keeping my fingers crossed and knocking on wood every chance I get.

I am pondering this fact, My wife and I are sitting in the living room, she is watching "My Big Gypsy Wedding" on TLC while I have the laptop set up watching (with earphones) a performance by Katherine Jenkins of Chanson Boheme.

Good Morning all, A great week to you all.

It is, in a way an odd thing to honor those who died in defense of our country., in defense of us, in wars far away. The imagination plays a trick. We see these soldiers in our mind as old and wise. We see them as something like the Founding Fathers, grave and gray haired. But most of them were boys when they died, and they gave up two lives- the one they were living and the one they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to be revered old men. They gave up everything for our country, for us. And all we can do is remember.
