I haven’t written many journal entries this year as I usually do. This is primarily for a couple of reasons: the dog likes to sit on my lap where the laptop goes, a feeling of general bewilderment with the world and lack of motivation. Bewilderment Let’s start with the fact that I’m now 48 years…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 12.3.2025

America: a bewildered country
America is a country in a state of bewilderment. We’re going through unprecedented times where the country I once new, and was proud to be a citizen of, is rapidly disappearing. The current administration is using the “flood the zone” strategy, floating, then implementing policies where two decades ago, the politician would have been met…… Continue reading America: a bewildered country
Le politique aujourd’hui
I thought a French title was appropriate given that, somehow, our current President has inexplicably managed to alienate all of our allies. As much as I’d like to write this post in French, my level is only up to a 6th grader and that simply won’t do for a post about politics. Let’s begin with…… Continue reading Le politique aujourd’hui
The Trump Win and My Thoughts
It is November 8th, 2024. We just had perhaps one of the most important elections in American history and the majority of Americans have overwhelmingly chosen a path that will change the country into something I cannot recognize.

What used to be a somewhat boring subject has now become a major part of the identity in the American populace. I’ve written many times that political affiliation for the majority of…… Continue reading America – It Can’t Happen Here
Journal Entry – Current affairs, cryptocurrency, blockchain
It is 6:26 AM on Sunday November 7th, 2021. Daylight savings time ends today. I had thought I’d woken up early and was glad since I would have plenty of morning peace time but then I realized my phone clock did not match up with the kitchen clocks. So we shall see how long the…… Continue reading Journal Entry – Current affairs, cryptocurrency, blockchain
Journal Entry – 9.26.21
It is 7:38 AM on Sunday morning on the 26th of September 2021. I’ve often written that life had sped up an an incredible pace once I reached the mid-30s. Well now it is about three times the speed it was and months really do pass as quickly as I perceived days to pass when…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 9.26.21
