Spurs Tour
While She works on NaNo, I’m out touring with the Spurs (completely unofficial–kind of like the guy in the Wendy’s commercial). I need to tour with them more often, because they’re off to a great start this year.

The Spurs…What Else?
It’s a new NBA season. Since She is busy with NaNoWriMo, and I’m not the subject of this one, She has shooed me from the house. As a result, I’m on a continent-wide ramble. I spent some time in Churchill with relatives for the annual gathering. I’m also taking this … Continue reading →
Polar Bear Cam
As you know, I’m visiting family up in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. If you want to see if you can catch me live, go to Polar Bears International and check out their Polar Bear Cam. From Oct 29 -31, they’re offering a free live stream to everyone. The camera is manned, … Continue reading →
Vacation Time
I’m heading off on vacation. She doesn’t need me until January, and I think it’s time to head up to Churchill to visit family during the annual gathering. I know you’re thinking polar bears don’t typically keep track of their family, but mine does stay in touch. I may wander … Continue reading →
Lazy Bear
I’ve been back from Bahrain for a few weeks now. She brought me a nice T-shirt from Latvia–too bad they don’t make them big enough for me to wear. I think it was Her excuse to be able to “wear it” for me. If She’s going to buy something for … Continue reading →
Template Changes
I noticed on the old template my title blog was getting cut off. I believe this was a subtle (or perhaps unintended) hint from Blogger that I should choose a new template. I’ve been contemplating this for a long time, but none of the templates I liked offered a Links … Continue reading →
Back in the USA
I have returned. No more swimming pool. No more chilly, comfortable air conditioning. Just plain, old, Virginia Indian Summer weather. The inflatable kiddy pool for the back yard. A house air conditioned to 80 degrees (and She turned off the A/C and opened the windows today!). She’s done with the … Continue reading →
Imminent Departure
She departs Bahrain next week, so I’ll be getting stuffed into a carry-on bag soon to make the trip back to the United States. I know I complained when I found out She was bringing me here, but I’ve grown to love the air conditioning and the swimming pool. I … Continue reading →
Olympic Women’s Marathon
I’m a few days late in commenting about this, but I watched the last half of the Olympic Women’s Marathon the other day. That may not sound like an exciting thing, but, like the Olympic Women’s Triathalon today, it was an exciting race. In the marathon, the Japanese and British … Continue reading →
Olympics Observations
I haven’t found basketball on the villa satellite programming. There’s something daunting about 900 satellite channels when you’re looking for one type of program. 900 channels becomes very “needle in a haystack” like. I’ve found no English programming carrying the Olympics, but German and something that sounds like French are … Continue reading →
