It is 4:55 AM on Saturday, September 23rd 2023. This is not my usual time to write but it is when I usually wake up. Although I wake up it has been rare to actually get up out of bed. Usually I’ll open the phone and check all the usual apps including the news. Today,…… Continue reading COVID and the Anti-Vaccine Movement Fall 2023

Trip to Ohio
My family returned to Japan this summer to visit Baba. It was long overdue since we couldn’t go last year due to COVID, and me, being the only one who doesn’t hold a passport am not allowed in this year either. That means I’m a free man all summer. It suddenly dawned on me a…… Continue reading Trip to Ohio
The First Day of Summer 2021
It is 4:35 AM on Tuesday June 15th, 2021. There is no moon, a heavy fog lies above and the street is dimly illuminated by a street lamp. The world is silent with the only sounds coming from the air pump for my fish tank and a slight, chill breeze wafting through the trees. Everyone…… Continue reading The First Day of Summer 2021
Journal Entry – 4.24.21

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
2020 in review
It is 9:06 AM on October 31st, 2020. The weather is perfect for Halloween: there is no wind, the temperature is cool but not too cold, the fog level is well below Pedro Point and there isn’t a cloud in the sky. I do miss the autumn colors of Ohio at this time of year,…… Continue reading 2020 in review
