Latest News: Tropical Storm 03W has formed and stands a good chance of developing into a typhoon. Curent forecast shows it running off to the south of Guam, just skimming past. Could make a turn more northerly at some point and hit us but no one knows yet.

Those of you who wake up groaning on Monday morning should not read the rest of this post.

One of the men at the party is named John. John arrived at Guam many years ago on a catamaran on which he and his wife were cruising around the world. They had just spent a year in New Guinea. They arrived intending to spend a few days in Guam and stayed for 13 years. John now works for a charter boat firm in Hawaii. He repairs the charter boats after the tourists beat them up. His work day runs from 8:00 AM to noon after which he spends the rest of the day wind surfing. He looks like a very happy soul. I don't think he finished his trip around the world and I get the impression that he doesn't care.

It's raining again.
