Memories of San Francisco 2006 – 2010
I arrived in San Francisco in 2006 after spending three years in Japan and two in Vietnam. My buddy Phuong who convinced me to move to Vietnam is also the reason I came to San Francisco.

Journal Entry – Comics
Every morning I read the Columbus Dispatch on my iPad. My hometown newspaper holds a lot of nostalgia for me and I like to start my day here in California with a taste of home.

Christmas Eve 2019
It is 5:59 AM on Christmas Eve. I woke up around 4, made the coffee, put away the dishes, fought with my computer and put the NORAD Santa Tracker on the T.V. I say fought with my computer because it is old and now the monitor sometimes does not get signal from the computer. I’ve…… Continue reading Christmas Eve 2019
