I finally watched the final installment of the Indiana Jones movie series. One of our friend’s little boys is really into Indiana Jones, he wears the hat and carries around a bag everyday. And so, I thought it would be time to introduce my own son to the series. It might have been a tad…… Continue reading Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull

Journal Entry – 10.5.2017
It is 7:36 PM on Thursday October 5th, 2017. I was reading Reddit today and came across an article about “death from overwork” in Japan. The comments were filled with people who also put in a lot of hours with some of them finally finding a 9-5 job. It made me realize how lucky I…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 10.5.2017
Mark Twain Quote
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth." Mark Twain
Journal Entry – 10.4.2017
It is 1:07 AM on Wednesday October 4th, 2017. Yes, that is not a mistake, it is 1:07 just after midnight. The reason is because after reading my son his bedtime story I fell to sleep right there; and sure enough he ended up moving all around into my space and waking me up. He…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 10.4.2017

It is 7:09 PM on Tuesday October 3rd, 2017. The house painting is done. It has taken a long time for me to finally get things that needed to be done to the house finally finished.

Journal Entry – 10.1.2017
It is 8:29 PM; there has been a lot on my mind and I thought I’d get one more post in. The world seems to have radically changed since 2016. The main reason is President Trump: we’re on a wild roller coaster ride and I’m almost afraid to look at the news every morning. The…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 10.1.2017
Journal Entry – Karate and the Japanese Community
It is 4:37 AM on Sunday October 1st, 2017. Today was the ‘special clinic’ put on by Saiko Shihan Yasuhiko Oyama. He is the grandmaster of World Oyama Karate and comes in once or maybe twice a year (I’m not sure) from the HQ in Alabama. All green belts and up can only test when…… Continue reading Journal Entry – Karate and the Japanese Community
Journal Entry – 9.28.2017
It is 8:50 PM on Thursday September 28th. It is dark with all the stars hidden by fog. My son and I just got back from another informational Cub Scouts meeting. I did it as a kid and even still have my uniform and so thought we’d check it out. I remember enjoying some of…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 9.28.2017
