It is 4:14 AM and there is a heavy rain outside. We’re just two days before Christmas which actually makes me a little sad as the holiday season which began with Halloween is coming to an end. I really shouldn’t think that way but do the same on Saturday night knowing only Sunday remains and…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 12.23.2016

Politics, Religion and getting into the holiday spirit
It is 3:45 AM and I’m feeling a little grumpy. I did not want to feel grumpy, I wanted to be in a holiday mood! So perhaps this post will let me release a bit of grumpiness and then perhaps if I concentrate I can switch my mood. The reason I’m a bit sour is…… Continue reading Politics, Religion and getting into the holiday spirit
An ancient homeland
“Here is our long-forgotten family home.And, having heard now and then the voice of ancestors calling,Like a grey little forest bird, from far-away centuries,I fly to you, Belovezhskaya Pushcha.”Aleksandra Pakhmutova – Russian ballad by Aleksandra Pakhmutova, 1975 which celebrates the Białowieża Primeval Forest. Bialowieza Primeval Forest I came across this quote in my Lapham’s Quarterly -…… Continue reading An ancient homeland

It is 3:24 AM. It is a chilly 39 degrees outside and although there is a beautiful waning gibbous moon it remains very dark on the ground. When I step outside to look at the stars I see Orion, faithfully in the southern hemisphere confirming that it is the latter half of the year. There…… Continue reading Journal Entry 12.18.2016
Journal Entry 12.13.2016 – Memories of Christmas lights
It is 5:55 AM. I woke up around 4:30, drank a shot of wheatgrass, put away dry dishes and washed the dirty ones, made coffee, meditated, added to a post about my Grandpa and wished my childhood friend Ryan a happy 40th birthday. Still left to do are: write this post, study Japanese, put Sega…… Continue reading Journal Entry 12.13.2016 – Memories of Christmas lights

It is 5:51 AM. I’ve caught a cold from my youngest boy and not feeling too great. One thing about colds though is that they really make you appreciate your health. This cold in-particular has actually reduced my stress/anxiety level a bit because it has forced me to slow down, take a deep breath and…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 12.2.2016

It is 5:59 AM. I haven’t gone to the gym in a while but my body remains sore from karate so at least I’m getting exercise in. It will soon be time to start up the morning gym routine again. Things have been very busy. Before Thanksgiving I had quarterly reviews, meetings, business reviews and…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 11.29.2016

It is 4:06 AM. It is wet outside, most likely from heavy fog which has now cleared. Today is a workday with early dismissal but very few of my customers are going to want to work and so hopefully I’ll only need to respond to one or two e-mails. As usual time has quickly slipped…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 11.23.2016
