This is a year that has changed everything. COVID-19 has kept everyone mostly in the house since April and we’ve had an unhinged President who garnered a cult following of about half of Americans. History books will be able to tell us the magnitude of the changes but for now we rely on news articles…… Continue reading 2020 in Review

Journal Entry – 12.10.20
It is 11:55 AM on Thursday December 10th, 2020. For the first time in many days I have a few minutes to get a blog post in. Work has been busy: from 8 to about 2 I’ve been engrossed in my laptop only taking a break to refill coffee or pee. I look at the…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 12.10.20
Journal Entry – 12.9.2020
It is 5:57 AM on Wednesday December 9th, 2020. I’m sitting in the living room and have my Amish fireplace/heater as well as electric candles turned on. I also have my Christmas ambiance on the T.V. which is showing a small pine tree decorated with lights and ornaments in a small clearing in an alpine…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 12.9.2020
Journal Entry – 11.15.20
It is 6:52 AM on Sunday November 15th, 2020. It finally feels like the fall in Pacifica.

It is Friday morning the day before Halloween 2020. I always like to write a post before the holiday season begins as this is my favorite time of year and these final months always seem to fly by. I still try to summon that childhood holiday magic and writing a post helps me focus on…… Continue reading Journal Entry – Halloween 2020
COVID, Fires, Smoke, Heatwaves and Power Outages
2020 has been a terrible year. I wrote a few posts in the beginning of the year wondering if “anything else could go wrong,” and I really shouldn’t have said that. Things can always get worse and they certainly have, so much so, I’m afraid to say that phrase anymore. Yesterday was a first in…… Continue reading COVID, Fires, Smoke, Heatwaves and Power Outages
Covid 19 – 10th Update
It is Friday September 4th, 2020. I sit here in my shed breathing in moderately polluted air from the fires that burn the state of California. My mood is on the melancholy side lifted only slightly by thoughts of a three day holiday weekend. It is difficult to be happy these days for a number…… Continue reading Covid 19 – 10th Update
