Thoughts of Paris
It is 6:48 AM on Sunday, March 6th, 2022. I’m listening to Je te veux by one of my favorite composers Erik Satie https://youtu.be/wbT9DeULzU4 Je te veux – Erik Satie The title being French and the music a melody of light, playful notes make me think of perhaps a spring promenade in Paris.

2019 – On the plane to Tokyo
8.1.19 It is 3:54 PM San Francisco time and 7:54 AM in Tokyo. I’m somewhere over the Pacific ocean on my way to Japan.
