Being in the present, while drinking a goblet of wine, listening to Pink Floyd and thinking about nuclear war. The flowers really are quite beautiful today. I’m very worried.

Friday Night at Humble Sea Brewing Co
It has been a very long time since I’ve taken my laptop and written a blog post in a bar. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever done so when my family was not in Japan. I also hadn’t planned on doing so tonight but that all changed at 3:30 PM when I got a…… Continue reading Friday Night at Humble Sea Brewing Co
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk instead of Super Bowl, A Criticism of the Worship of Sports and Deep Thoughts!
It is 6:40 AM on Sunday February 13th, 2022. I woke up around 4:50 and as usual spent the first 30 minutes in my phone looking at all my usual corners of the internet. I then put on my VR and meditated in the virtual perch overlooking a small glacial lake and range of Mt.…… Continue reading Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk instead of Super Bowl, A Criticism of the Worship of Sports and Deep Thoughts!
Journal Entry – 2.12.2022
It is 6:35 AM on Saturday February 12th, 2022. I’m at my standing desk in the second floor reading nook in front of the open window overlooking the street. A moderate breeze makes the eucalyptus trees sway then passes through my window. I hear a little birdsong, not the full chorus I remember early morning…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 2.12.2022

The start of a day…… Continue reading The Sun as a Metaphor for Life

It is 2:47 PM on Sunday January 23rd, 2022. I’m sitting on the back patio on the new porch swing our neighbors gifted us as they moved away. There isn’t a cloud in the sky and the California sun makes it feel as though this is the middle of summer even though the temperature in…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 1.23.2022
Journal Entry – 1.16.2022
It is 7:29 AM on Sunday January 29th, 2022. In the past year I continue to wake up early, around 4 AM but I don’t actually get out of bed. I’ll peruse though my usual apps on my phone until I’m sleepy then get another hour of sleep before actually getting out of bed. The…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 1.16.2022
Putting the Tree Away
It is 11:47 AM on Sunday January 2nd 2022. The temperature is 55 degrees but feels a lot warmer with the bright sun. Stepping outside to put away the Christmas wreath I had a flicker of the feelings and emotions I would have on a summer day at the Grandview pool. The warmth on my…… Continue reading Putting the Tree Away
