I’m at SFO airport awaiting the boarding to Japan. Getting ready to travel, especially internationally and for a long trip is always such a pain UNTIL I get to the airport. It is then I am excited. The pain part is packing, getting the house in order, locked, making sure the plants are watered and…… Continue reading Tokyo Trip 2018

The Saga of Burning my Blu-Ray Fireplace to File for TV
One thing I wanted to accomplish while I had free time this summer was to burn my fireplace Blu-Ray disk and have it play from my server to the TV. I did not realize how troublesome this would be. It all started when our Blu-Ray player died. I was playing the fireplace Blu-Ray but when…… Continue reading The Saga of Burning my Blu-Ray Fireplace to File for TV
Journal Entry 7.22.2018
It is 8:36 AM on Sunday July 22nd, 2018. Since my family is in Japan I no longer have to get up immediately upon awakening.

I learned of this book in a Reddit post and quickly bought it as it is right up my…… Continue reading Montaillou – Life in a Medieval Village
Journal Entry – 7.13.2018
It is 7:58 PM on Friday, July 13th. The fog has moved in and the birds are screeching among the trees. It is an ominous evening and perfectly suited for Friday the 13th.

Journal Entry – 7.12.2018
It is 8:52 on Thursday, July 12th 2018. I am still lethargic and tried. I think I must be going through caffeine withdraw because I haven’t felt like this for an extended period of time before. I have absolutely no energy. I think it is caffeine withdraw because I always have coffee every morning since…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 7.12.2018
