January 2006
January 2006 Here we are , heading into a new year and wondering what 2006 has in store for us. For those of you living in a cold winter climate be advised that I am still swimming at the Hidden Vale swimming pool and enjoying the new sauna as well. I keep trying to lose weight. [...]
November 2006
November 2006 I swear that it was only a few months ago that we had turkey for Thanksgiving but I know it is just that time seems to go faster with each year that I grow older. Or, maybe it is just that I am so busy that I lose track of time. I know [...]
December 2006
December 2006 Normally, for December I would insert a of Santa Claus to illustrate the spirit of this month. Well, this time just imagine Santa and his reindeers with me and Brazil’s Miss Earth Candidate in the back of the sleigh going off in one hell of a fantasy trip. Now that is a Christmas [...]
October 2006
October 2006 How bout that, Thailand had one of their fun Coup d’etats last month. Now, I do not degrade the seriousness of the event and its importance to this Region but I remember the couple of times I witnessed such an event during my long stays in Thailand years ago. I always grabbed my [...]
September 2006
September 2006 Soon this picture of the approach to Friendship will be a distant memory, leastwise we hope so. With all the new security measures being taken to board an airplane now I figure it won’t be long before we have to get completely to fly. When I mentioned this to Peter O’Donnell he told [...]
August 2006
August 2006 For sure that is not me doing a bit of work on the roof, not with my bad knees and back. But, the construction on the new Horse stable is nearly complete with Mrs. Horse and I ready to move in. That means that directly after the 5 Aug meeting (Stampede, Gentlemen’s Club [...]
July 2006

June 2006
June 2006 It is time for those wedding bells and this month my wife’s nephew is tying the know with his girlfriend that he has been courting for six years. Sadly, Priscilla has informed me that I am not allowed to attend the ceremony in my shorts and tank top and to leave my paperback [...]
May 2006
May 2006 My goodness, it is certainly hot enough but the days are dry with plenty of sunshine and the heat will continue throughout the month of May. Each year it seems to be getting hotter but that might be due to global warming which is becoming a very serious issue. As a matter of [...]
April 2006
April 2006 Why in the world did I put a of rain here? One reason is that on 1 Apr it is April fools day so I thought that maybe I could get some of you to think it is raining here now. Not true!! It is still bright sunshine and hot, hot, hot but [...]
March 2006
March 2006 I think the best way to start off this month is to an article sent to me by Joe Nelson, a friend and of my pool team that kind of sums up my feelings about what is going on with the Muslims of this world that are fanatical criminals who hate all Christians, [...]
February 2006
February 2006 It is that time of the year for candy, flowers and dinners. Some were asking if they had a Valentine’s Day in the Philippines. I don’t know about the rest of the PI but in Angeles City you better believe they do. Would you think that for one minute the bars and restaurants [...]
