a kiss is just a kiss...

There's a song that starts off with those words but a kiss means more and says more than we may realize. Something to think about. Have a good night guys!!! - V

Here's a night cap to keep you dreaming of better days to come! Have a good night, guys!!! - V

supper

Well, I've finally completed cooking supper and will have some duck leg with sweet and sour cabbage plus boiled salt potatoes shortly. I'm using a German recipe that calls for goose legs but since I'd have to buy a whole bird, I'm using duck instead since duck breast and legs are more easily found. From what I've tasted, its great! And its all washed down with Earl Grey tea, no wine or beer yet!

I saved photos I have of Brad on a CD and have been viewing the CD all afternoon and into the evening. He's got some awesome muscles. Its just a pity that I can post any at the moment, until he gives the word of course. In the meantime, you'll just have to take my word for it and salivate for a while longer. Hey Brad, if you have the time and can get to a computer, we'd all love to see what you have to say!!! Meantime, hope all is well in the work camp!!!

Its also nearing bedtime since I'll be up at around 5 am to get ready for work. Have a good night, guys!!! - V

hot dudes, hot muscles

Here are a few pics of hot guys from the net as a night cap. I hope they bring inspiration to you and perhaps some awesome dreams during the night! Have a good one, guys!!! - V

blogger friends

I'd like to welcome the recent additions to my blogger friends, one in Switzerland and the other in Italy. I now have 37 and they've been slowly growing over the years. The first and probably foremost is Mac over at The Yummy Blog. I started commenting on his blog even before I had any of my own. Then there's bribri and others. Check them out sometime, see what they follow and even check out their own blogs. We can learn and support each other. I'll introduce them all in the near future. Welcome, guys, and keep following!!! - V

photo scanner and other stuff

I've decided upon purchasing an Epson photo scanner (V600) for just over 200 dollars plus tax. This will have to wait until November but once I've bought it I should be able to scan various still photos for posting. This would include one of me dressed in a pink-coloured shirt, patterned brown pants and sunglasses seated by a table on a lake in West Berlin during my first visit back to Germany at age 18. The sunglasses were a necessity as the sun caused strain on my eyes after being exposed to the particulate in the air during the train trip through East German territory (remember, Germany was still divided at the time). Look for some photos over the next few months along with some commentary about them. Something to look forward to!

Meantime, I'm dong my best to shake this cold that I caught last week. I hope your weekend is better! - V

relaxing

I can't say that I'm spending a whole lot of time relaxing on a bench or in a chair but I'm in bed more trying to shake this cold that I've managed to catch from someone. It was just a tickle in the back of the throat yesterday but today its slight pain on the left side of the face, including the left side of the upper and lower pallet (teeth), the side of the face that was struck in the late 1980s in the line of duty. Some mild pain reliever, a vitamin D tablet and something to reduce the nasal drip from the left sinus and with some extra bed rest I should be as good as new in a few days. It all seems to work for me. Meantime, I hope your weekend is going better. Have a good night!!! - V
