Hong Kong I promised my friends (Mike and Roberta) to very publicly thank two people for helping us sneak into the ultra expensive (not the Uber expensive) ticket section of the Sunday Rolling Stone Concert. (I have no shame. It was OUR tax money too). First is Josh front man and guitarist from “Whence HeContinue reading “Blowing Kisses For Helping Us Recuperate Tax Money at the Stone’s Show”

Glutter Plugs: Expats Against Bush
Glutter Plugs Although I don’t consider myself an an expat (anywhere), but a lot of you are.
