It is 4:05 AM on Tuesday November 11th, 2022. We’ve just returned from a Thanksgiving week in Ohio. This trip was spent almost entirely in either my parent’s or sisters residence with the kids playing games (sometimes Fortnite with adults), wine drinking and eating. The weather was partly due to the reason for staying in…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 11.29.2022

Journal Entry – 11.13.2022
It is 5:56 AM on Sunday November 13th, 2022. It has been a long time since I’ve written in my journal and much has to do with my mindset. All is well here but time after time there is another disappointment which has lead to decreased motivation. I thrive when my mind is clear and…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 11.13.2022
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. Before they leave I have plans of all the things I’m going to do but once they are gone…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 7.4.2022
Journal Entry 5.25.2022
It is Wednesday May 25th, 2022, the day before my 45th birthday. As I see that birthday number I’ve just written, I’m put into a state of shock. How can I possibly be turning 45? 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

Being in the present, while drinking a goblet of wine, listening to Pink Floyd and thinking about nuclear war. The flowers really are quite beautiful today. I’m very worried.
Friday Night at Humble Sea Brewing Co
It has been a very long time since I’ve taken my laptop and written a blog post in a bar. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever done so when my family was not in Japan. I also hadn’t planned on doing so tonight but that all changed at 3:30 PM when I got a…… Continue reading Friday Night at Humble Sea Brewing Co
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk instead of Super Bowl, A Criticism of the Worship of Sports and Deep Thoughts!
It is 6:40 AM on Sunday February 13th, 2022. I woke up around 4:50 and as usual spent the first 30 minutes in my phone looking at all my usual corners of the internet. I then put on my VR and meditated in the virtual perch overlooking a small glacial lake and range of Mt.…… Continue reading Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk instead of Super Bowl, A Criticism of the Worship of Sports and Deep Thoughts!
Journal Entry – 2.12.2022
It is 6:35 AM on Saturday February 12th, 2022. I’m at my standing desk in the second floor reading nook in front of the open window overlooking the street. A moderate breeze makes the eucalyptus trees sway then passes through my window. I hear a little birdsong, not the full chorus I remember early morning…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 2.12.2022
