As daughter damnedest put it so well, "at least for your birthday you got a President who doesn't blow goats."

Up here (or down East) in beautiful Stonington, where I will have spent almost 5 weeks in total this year, a record. Eating too much good food, playing mostly lousy but some really excellent golf, doing too much client work, reading some outstanding books, not missing television. Daughter dearest reports in good things from Turkmenistan.  Have heard rumors that my son is still the capo de capo of MindSay. Will not believe it until he responds. Rachel is winning in the will.

I realized both of my children live in foreign countries -- Rachel in Turkmenistan and MindSay founder and head guru Adam in the Confederate States of America. Couldn't be prouder.

I happen to like all of the new changes to MindSay --even though I haven;t figured out how to use any of them. Kudos to the creator.

I was delighted to find that someone who viewed my blog is apparently unaware that my Mrs. is an ax murderer.
