The Holidays Have Wiped Out
Blogging for me during the past few days. It's been very pleasant, though, seeing my family, celebrating our wedding anniversary, and gorging myself since Thursday last.

My wife and I have been married a really long time--forty years to be exact. I will spare the details of how we managed to get to this point in our lives without committing murder or mayhem on each other since it's easier than most people let on. Let's just say that one of us has great tolerance and let it rest. Which of us doesn't really matter.

The Straits Times is reporting on it's web site that the Iraqis had advance notice of two inspections. Since there has been only three to date and, if this is true, then it's time to call off the UN inspectors in Iraq and keelhaul the offenders. The U.S. should consider any such action tantamount to espionage and should take appropriate action.
