did you enjoy the past 8?

When you say "enjoy," BM, do you mean party? I have lived in Japan for the last 4 - with multiple jaunts to vacation destinations around the world.

The 4 years before that I lived in Silicon Valley making the money that allows me to live a fine life in this comfy little country.

So, can I complain? Well, you know me, I complain that my coffee cup is smaller than my wife's tea cup.

One of my Japanese friends in Nagoya gave me a HUGE American Airlines coffee mug. (^-^)

Nah, actually i really feel for George. Ya know we knew the family back home ... of course not on a deep level... so even though i'm not crazy about his politics i feel a lot of sympathy for him as a human being. i hate to see anyone be hated so much, especially when that person was doing only what they thought was right.


Where is Augustine's "City on the Hill" and who lives there?
And perhaps more importantly: How do they live - with each other?

What if we chose the wrong religion?
Each week we'd just make God madder and madder.
