hoppy thanksgiving to all... steven don't ledda bastachs getcha down, things will get bettah. Raiders, they now may play well enuff with mirer MIRER?!?!? to play their way outta the eli manning bowl, but they need, NEED help on defense. someone younger than 35 without a criminal record will do fine, some DE or OLB who can bring the pain. woodson keyshawn and kevin johnson will go to the whiners, cause that's what they are. TO will go to any stadium big enough to fit his ego, hell he'll play flag football if they'll give him the long passes.

have been living the life of d nile, given up the cigs, now drying up the booze, and watching the weight. once we hit farty that big metabo clock moves like tim conway in a carol burnett skit. have been taking to swimming and will soon start doing the machines at the Y. wassa nice month, long vacation and all, worked one Japan and one portland and that was that. no paycheck but twenny five days off was sweet. went to japan to see the inlaws and spent the rest of the time working on the bills and setting up for taxes next year. hey i thought this internet was supposed to make all of this easier. it seems the receipts are running around the room like baby chicks, cant seem to make them stay in order...

dave, thanks for the visit last month, am really starting to hate windows ME (Massive Excrement, Moronic Electronics, Myopic Enhancement). Will have to wait until i get to Hong Kong to getta XP Pro upgrade disc. the one i have now is OEM, meaning i have to overwrite all my data. Just picked up a DVD burner sony dru-510a for 149 w/o tax (oregon) contemplating wheter to put it in or go for a fry's TDK DVD at 129 with %8 tax. ah well, the life of an upgrader.

Pat, Glad to hear from ya, the last months must have been a blur, even though the second time supposed to be easier. Remember, Lanipo trail awaits, but no running and lets take enough water this time... Yasuko has been totally doing the kazaa thing, i have been able to resist it for the most part, but instead have been loading my laptop with a bunch of my CD collection. all of Hendrix, Clapton, Rod Stewart, Led Zep, into mp3, locked and loaded for the time when i can feel i afford the ipod. (laptop gots firewire so the transfer should be okay) will keep filling it up until i run outta space. for now itsa cool jukebox to take on trips, looking for my ZZtop sixpack and Prince greatest hits to load up...

I am tahnkful for you all, blog on dudes and here here to stephen fer hittin 38 god almighty twenty years since high school...ricke dont loose that number, indeed....
