Just heading to bed, but I'm a night owl. I usually know it's time to sleep when I see Pookie's ping for Today's Toons.

[Budge]

I'm only up early because I work early...or can't sleep. :)

5:27 EDT in beautiful downtown Bumpass, VA. The cats actually let me sleep past 5:00 AM on a weekend!

Wide Awake in Cupertino, California, US of freakin' A.

Business relationships are like marriages.

You are so right.

I was basically 'Cheated on' after 16 years of commitment. I don't mean to sound depressing or anything, but one of my partners basically destroyed my life.

There is an upside though, all of the remaining partners have to buy my shares per our operating agreement. I can get a fresh start.

FReepers don't sleep...they wait.

LOL

I was, well, waiting for someone to say that.

Yep - I remember noticing it at the top of the Jazz charts in the States for what seemed like years - unavailable over here (UK) then, other than on import. My mate got a copy and we were really excited. He plays a bit too cleverly and too clinical for my liking (if you know what I mean).

[angkor]

DC, just waking up.

[OC_Steve]

I have been up since 3:45 am (central) getting ready to take relatives to the airport.

I also donate to FR and everyone else should too.

[lmr]

I get my gas at the Dillons at 47th.

I work(ed) less than half a mile from there. Wow.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

me too

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Thanks Bob

[sneakers]

I've been up since 4:30.

Oh - and my son is in Japan as well - navy in yokosuka.

[sushiman]

I've had 4 Kirins in the past 6 hours ...down in Kyushu ...

[pax_et_bonum]

It's still Texas here.

[battlegearboat]

Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Cock-a-dudel-doo!

Finished my Special K and getting on the treadmill after I run thru a few articles while finishing a good cup of Joe.

[dbehsman]

I'm up. I work a really goofy shift, and got home about an hour ago.

"I've had five Asahi's in the past couple hours and really like Japan."

Pardon my ignorance, but was is an Asahi? Is that a type of Japanese beer?

As for myself, I am polishing off a bottle of (and no, I'm not kidding)"Old Speckled Hen". It's an English brew.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

FReepers don't sleep...they wait.

I just polished off another Asalil so I'm not waiting one bit. I'm off for sashimi in about an hour. Right after I shower and shave. Boy, it was hot and humid here today. The bulletrains are cool, tho. Had reserved seats in the Green Car.

For anyone coming to Japan, get a JR pass. It entitles you to unlimited reserved, first-class, transport on any JR train. Quite a good deal. You can't buy the JR pass in Japan, it has to be ppurchased outside of Japan and only non-Japanese can have the pass.

" Pardon my ignorance, but was is an Asahi? Is that a type of Japanese beer? "

Yes . I ran out of Guinness , hence the Kirins . The cicadas are singing up a storm outside my window at 6;41 p.m. in Kumamoto ...

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Wow. Nice home page. That photo two down from that beautiful grandchild: is that a Shrike?
