Well after an injection of a powerful positive aggressive dose into my ear drums I must run.

As they say, it's always 5 o'clock somewhere.

It is done, o wise one.

Water. Skipped my run today because I ate too much pizza at lunch.

Hark! now the Drums beat up again,
For all true Soldiers Gentlemen,
Then let us list, and march I say,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus:
Over the Hills and o'er the Main,
To Flanders, Portugal and Spain,
Queen Ann commands, and we'll obey,
Over the Hills and far away.

All Gentlemen that have a Mind,
To serve the Queen that's good and kind;
Come list and enter into Pay,
Then o'er the Hills and far away;
Over the Hills, &c.

Here's Forty Shillings on the Drum,
For those that Volunteers do come,
With Shirts, and Cloaths, and present Pay,
When o'er the Hills and far away;
Over the Hills, &c.

( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Fy3tSim3to the singing starts after about 30 seconds...I've been watching the series and reading to books! Great stuff!)

A quick good morning all! A double shot of Ahmad English Breakfast tea and I'm off to take another driving test!

The Proctor actually got out of the test car twice with his ruler, once to measure the distance of my wheels to the curb, and once to measure my bumper to the Stop Line. They do NOT mess around on these tests!

For my celebration, I'm having another mug of Ahmad English Breakfast tea. It brought me luck this morning!

No, no... still the same. I hate to drive cars. I only ride motorcycles, and do that every day of the year. I only took the car license for those 'emergency trips' when my wife can't drive or if I need to carry large heavy things when shopping. I usually put 20 kilo of rice on my bike without any worries, but large flat things, like picture canvas or large flat boxes that can catch the wind when I'm going down the road do better in the car.

Japan is the most anally compulsive culture I have EVER experienced! Every facet of it is governed by extremely strict codes and rules that are NEVER broken or even bent. Fortunately, as a foreigner I'm not expected to live under the rigid code such as my wife must face daily. But when it comes to licensing, even for license to teach origami, flower arranging, or guitar, to say nothing of actually driving a car, everybody has to toe the line, exactly.

I had a fruit smoothie for breakfast. I am working on pot one of Rooibos Capetown at the office with a nice bowl of oatmeal.

I am hoping to make it through the day without being thrown under the bus by my supervisor. It is amazing how she is able to get someone run over even when she is not in the office.
