Life can sometimes be difficult without actually seeming to be. My broken toe kept me out of the office for a while and then the phone quit working so I had no internet access. Sigh. It seems to be connected to the rain. We had torrential downpours late last week and the phones quit after the first one. They still don't work today but at least it has quit raining. Still cloudy though.

Two weekends ago we went to Palau and last weekend we moved Wakana into my house. Consequently I did no laundry for two and a half weeks! Yesterday Wakana and I washed and dried seven loads! What a job! She seems to think it would be better to wash more frequently. I guess I have to agree with her.

When I was young one of my favorite TV programs was COMBAT!. Wakana grew up in Japan on the other side of the world and is 8 years younger than me. As a child one of her favorite TV programs was... COMBAT! Recently I found a DVD with the first season of the show on it and she and I have been watching a show or two every evening. What a great series. It still stands up even today.
