The world is different now due to President Trump. I miss the certainty and comfort of the way things were previously. Now I wake up and am anxious to see what the news will say. At the moment the US is upsetting its allies and as for the enemies, I’m sure we’ll soon be at…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 2.2.2017

Journal Entry – 1.25.2017
It is 5:31 AM and very dark outside. I’ve put the dishes away, made tea, meditated and now have just under an hour to write a post. My body is sore from the gym and karate. In the past I’ve always given short shrift to leg day but have started to pay more attention since…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 1.25.2017
Journal Entry – 1.16.2016
It is 5:53 AM. I woke up much earlier but was pretty exhausted from the day before so went back to sleep and finally got out of bed at five.

Urge to travel, need for a change
Today an old acquaintance from my days as an English teacher in Japan put up some pictures of Packwood House in Warwickshire, England. One great thing about teaching in Japan is I made a lot of friends; the English teachers came from many English speaking countries and many Japanese staff members married them. From this…… Continue reading Urge to travel, need for a change
Journal Entry – 12.29.2016
It is 5:59 AM; I’m writing later than usual. Between Christmas and New Years work is extremely slow and has been so again this year. I had planned to really enjoy this time but I’m still not in the proper holiday mood. I did experience a holiday high starting a few days before Christmas but…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 12.29.2016
Classic songs discovered in 2016
Two songs my Dad introduced me to in 2016 that I really like. Both also happen to be about or occur in San Francisco. https://youtu.be/XUwUp-D_VV0 Little Boxes – Pete Seeger This is such a fun little ditty. My Dad brought it to my attention after I had just landed in Columbus, Ohio. I had commented…… Continue reading Classic songs discovered in 2016
