It is 3:37 AM. My son and I did the fighting class in addition to regular karate class yesterday. The different between us is that when he exercises a lot he will sleep soundly and deeply until morning; I however will not and wake up after only five or so hours of sleep and so…… Continue reading Journal Entry 2.4.2017

Journal Entry – 2.2.2017
The world is different now due to President Trump. I miss the certainty and comfort of the way things were previously. Now I wake up and am anxious to see what the news will say. At the moment the US is upsetting its allies and as for the enemies, I’m sure we’ll soon be at…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 2.2.2017
Journal Entry – 1.25.2017
It is 5:31 AM and very dark outside. I’ve put the dishes away, made tea, meditated and now have just under an hour to write a post. My body is sore from the gym and karate. In the past I’ve always given short shrift to leg day but have started to pay more attention since…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 1.25.2017
Journal Entry – 1.16.2016
It is 5:53 AM. I woke up much earlier but was pretty exhausted from the day before so went back to sleep and finally got out of bed at five.

New Year’s Morning 2017
It is 6:49 AM on the first day of 2017. I woke up much later than usual not due to staying up until midnight or drinking too much: I woke up later than usual from a busy day hiking, playing with the boys then having three small champagne glasses of Louis d’Estree Sparkling Méthode Traditionnelle…… Continue reading New Year’s Morning 2017
Urge to travel, need for a change
Today an old acquaintance from my days as an English teacher in Japan put up some pictures of Packwood House in Warwickshire, England. One great thing about teaching in Japan is I made a lot of friends; the English teachers came from many English speaking countries and many Japanese staff members married them. From this…… Continue reading Urge to travel, need for a change
Journal Entry – 12.29.2016
It is 5:59 AM; I’m writing later than usual. Between Christmas and New Years work is extremely slow and has been so again this year. I had planned to really enjoy this time but I’m still not in the proper holiday mood. I did experience a holiday high starting a few days before Christmas but…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 12.29.2016
