Reading my history books the thought occurred to me that I would very much like to time travel and visit a number of festive occasions throughout history. The first time this thought occurred I was watching The Tudors and thought how amusing attending a court ball or feast in the reign of King Henry VIII…… Continue reading Balls, Banquets and soirées throughout history

It is 5:57 AM and my morning routine has gone well! I’ve been to the gym, put away/done the dishes, made the coffee, put on my fireplace DVD and even have about an hour to myself before everyone wakes up. Looking at the number of hits on my posts I see the numbers increasing well…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 3.29.2016
Journal Entry – Saturday 3.19.2016
It is 5:03 AM. With the end of daylight savings time and recent cloud the mornings are dark and I feel I should try to continue sleeping. I’ve noticed that if I try to make myself sleep more than my dreams get progressively more bizarre; I guess this is one more motivator to just get…… Continue reading Journal Entry – Saturday 3.19.2016

It is 6:36 AM; I was too tired to get up at 4 for the gym this morning and have woken up in a pretty bad mood. The mood is attributed to a few things I’ll list here in no particular order. The upstairs toilet won’t stop running; I fixed it a few years ago…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 3.17.2016

It is 6:05 AM on Thursday morning. I woke up too late to make it to the gym but am satisfied as I’m feeling pretty sore from yesterday’s workout.

Journal entry – Check-in at 38
My birthday is on the horizon; I thought it was time to do a quick check-in on what my thoughts are at 38 years old. I’ve written about this in previous posts but 38 years old is exactly 20 years from being 18 and thus my 20 year high school reunion occurred this past October.…… Continue reading Journal entry – Check-in at 38

It is 7:13 AM on Saturday morning. I’m listening to Gordon Lightfoot sing the Canadian Railroad trilogy and I’ve just published my first Japanese language post in a while. I love this song – my parents took trip to the Canadian Rockies and sent me some of the most spectacular pictures of nature that I’ve…… Continue reading Journal Entry – Saturday, February 27th

It is now 8:17 AM on Tuesday morning. I was up at 4:00 AM and finished my gym routine at 6:10 AM. As I was driving back I saw a flash of light in the sky over the ocean that quickly faded out. I had seen a meteor!!! I’ve never seen a meteor so close…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 2.23.2016
