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

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

It is 7:25 PM on Monday September 25th, 2017. The sun has recently set and there is a deep orange twilight that is slowly fading away. The moon is in a waning crescent as September comes to a close. I’ve written about this before but I never really connected the days and months with celestial…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 9.25.2017
Journal Entry – 9.22.2017
It is 8:27 PM on Friday September 22nd, 2017. I’m out in my shed/office/clubhouse writing this post. The weather is chilly as usual but I’ve got a very warm heat lamp not two feet away to keep me warm. I can actually see the stars and there is a fantastic waning crescent moon just over…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 9.22.2017

It is 6:57 PM on Wednesday September 20th, 2017. Time is flying by and it is hard to believe the holiday season is almost here again. Summer is now a distant memory as we’re back in full swing of school year routine. This week started out with a shock as one of my colleagues was…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 9.20.2017

It is 7:31 PM on Thursday September 14th. We just got back from swim class. The instructors there appear to all be high school kids and I overheard one of them tell a student she was 16 years old and a junior. This was another reminder to me about how quickly time passes. I was…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 9.14.2017
Journal Entry – 9.14.2017
It is 1:21 PM on Thursday September 14th, 2017. It is a beautiful day with everything turning fresh and green with the rain a few days ago. There is a little wind and the temperature is cool which makes it feel more like fall. I’m finally getting the roof repaired and that helps put my…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 9.14.2017
