It has been twenty two years since I last visited Paris. Unfortunately I didn’t write much about that visit except in this entry from December, 2000. I was a student then wrapping up my six months studying French in Lyon and Besançon. My fellow students are now mothers and fathers with teenage children living the…… Continue reading Trip to Paris

Journal Entry – 7.4.2022
It is Monday, July 4th, 2022. My family is in Japan and so I’m a bachelor for two months. Being alone with family all of a sudden is a bit like sliding into an alternate reality.

Mysteries of the Unknown: Psychic Voyages
I’ve just finished the second book in this series. I didn’t highlight as many things as I did with Ancient Wisdom and Secret Sects but did find some good nuggets.

That is old and old is not something I thought I’d ever become. To the young, youth is eternal. If…… Continue reading Journal Entry 5.25.2022
Understanding Dire Straits – Money for Nothing
I want my MTV……… Hearing this ghostly whisper along with never before seen computer animation left me spellbound as an eight year old who shouldn’t have been able to watch MTV. Cable television was still relatively new and like most new things, kids often figure them out well before the adults do. Eventually the adults…… Continue reading Understanding Dire Straits – Money for Nothing
Trip to Maui, Hawaii
I have been completely drained of energy since our return on a Thursday night red-eye flight after a fun yet exhausting five day trip to Maui, Hawaii. Part of it is probably jet-lag, another part is that I’m 44 and finally I’m most likely in an energy deficit since the trip was nonstop activity for…… Continue reading Trip to Maui, Hawaii
