JAWing On – Life on Okinawa

Even though it was rainy most of yesterday, it doesn’t look like we’re going to get any rainbows today. It is absolutely gorgeous outside! A beautiful reminder that Spring is only a few days away.

Given the level of the talent of the current male vocalists on "Idol", where it almost hurts to see any of the contestants not make it to the next level, I don’t envy the judges or audience who are going to be faced with trying to determine what the next great invention or gadget will be. I am looking very forward to the time when "Inventor" finally makes it to the local satellite scene though. I can’t wait to see those creative minds hard at work in positive ways.

I read about this tournament and had to wonder how one goes about training for this new "sport". (Can this really be called a sport?) Anyway, this whole idea did give us a good laugh.
