Singapore. Whore-bitch high priestess at the altar of consumerism, or a very fine place to go shopping; depending on your viewpoint. I viewed it as a good place to take she who must be obeyed for an end of year treat.
Sure enough, with a balance available on her credit card and a shopping stamina that I could never match, she plundered Orchard Road and returned fully encumbered with shopping bags containing the usual junk that women feel compelled to buy. As for myself, being of the more rational gender when it comes to these things, I spent less than an hour making jut one carefully considered purchase during our visit. More on this later, but rest assured it could not possibly be yet another camera as I already have too many; or at least that is what she said when I brought it back to the hotel room.
Being that time of year, there were lights everywhere, which was good; and appalling festive music, which wasn’t. Of course I had to take some shots with the new camera I didn’t get.

2009-12-20| Spike saysgenuinej, I missed you too. You are right about the vasectomy, the Singapore trip is just a cover story. You should see how I am walking right now.
The Son, the genes serve you well. But of course I changed the image data to fool exif peepers. Or I would have done if I was as smart as you.
