It is 7:17 PM on Sunday July 7th, 2019. The long holiday weekend is coming to an end and a busy week is ahead. I’ve gotten quite a few things done from my “to do” list. I re-recorded my childhood tape where I’d tape my own voice. I recorded it using my Samsung and now…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 7.7.19

Renaissance Man
I’ve always wanted to be a renaissance man. This idea came about in college when I started studying languages. I was so enraptured by my study abroad in Toledo, Spain that it changed the course of my life. The history, the culture, a new language were things I had never experienced before and here I…… Continue reading Renaissance Man
2019 – Ohio
It is July 1st and I’m at the airport. I’m leaving a day early due to flying standby and tomorrow is full. However, I feel as though it has been enough time here and I’m ready to go home. On Friday I saw my good friends and we met at Byrne’s Pub. It was Ross,…… Continue reading 2019 – Ohio
Technology upgrade
As I mentioned in a post or two ago I recently got excited about my VR goggles again due to discovering YouTube VR. Prior to that I had been rather bored with technology and in a rut checking Instagram, Facebook, the news and writing a blog post or two on an endless loop. Well, that…… Continue reading Technology upgrade
Travels in Asia and Africa – 1325-1354 – Ibn Battúa
I heard about this book from Reddit and knew right away that I wanted to read it. I love history and traveling and here is a first hand account from a well traveled (for the times) man from over 600 years ago. This is unlike a history book. History books are the past seen through…… Continue reading Travels in Asia and Africa – 1325-1354 – Ibn Battúa
Journal Entry 4.4.19
It is 3:56 PM on Tuesday, June 4th. This is the last week of school for my oldest and he has started bringing his classroom items home. This was always such a magical time of year for me when I was a kid. The weather became very nice, the pool opened and those final days…… Continue reading Journal Entry 4.4.19

42 Years Old
Today I am officially 42 years old. There doesn’t seem to be any difference physically or mentally with being 41 but I guess I’ve got a year for the verdict to come in. I have been paying more attention to what my body is telling me as I get older. I’ll always remember my Dad…… Continue reading 42 Years Old
