Typical Japanese Overreaction
This episode...... the H1N1A influenza. I took this picture upon arrival at Narita International Airport in Japan. Passengers were not permitted to get off the plane until everybody had been "screened." ** Note that some of the 'bio-suited' health inspectors have no hoods or goggles. **

Paul Joseph Leslie, Sr.
I never thought I would be able to see my grandfather as a 3-month-old baby, but I guess stranger things have happened in life....
Ph.inally D.one!!!!!
My sister graduated with her Ph.D...... finally! She is really relieved that the whole thing is completed because she had to go through Hell to get it. Congrats, Mabry!
Mabry's Dream
My sister's email about a recent dream. Not exactly MLK Jr. caliber.....
"i had a dream that you had a mullet and we were running around with michael in some freezing, prehistoric cave. it was sort of hundreds of years ago, except we were talking on cell phones. you were calling michael "chapter 12" and you were "chapter 10.2". each of you had taken out a loan to go drinking (while drunk) and michael was freaking out because he just realized it.
no more naps in a hot apartment. totally groggy."

A musing from 2008 into 2009
私は木陰の中に住む。そこの生活はゆっくり流れて、好きです。
Watakushi ha kokage no naka ni sumu.
Soko no seikatsu ha yukkuri nagarete, suki desu.
I live in the shade of the tree.
There, life passes slowly, and I like it.

James Bond in Florida
Who knew Ian Fleming ever heard of Ocala and Silver Springs. These bits come from Live and Let Die.

The Passing of Paul Newman
Paul Newman, one of Hollywood's best actors & most generous philanthropists, died last week. I always liked Mr. Newman's work, especially The Sting, with Robert Redford, but he always meant a lot more than that to me. He dedicated his life to being cool, but more importantly, to helping others, especially children. Spaghetti sauce was also a forte of his. The world will miss you Mr. Paul Newman. You will be welcomed where you are going now.
