It is 8:36 AM on Sunday July 22nd, 2018. Since my family is in Japan I no longer have to get up immediately upon awakening. During our normal routine I like to have my own time and that means I have to get up early to enjoy the peace of the early morning before the…… Continue reading Journal Entry 7.22.2018

Thoughts on Ethnicity
These days, especially under the Trump administration there has been a lot of division. This has been seen with Trump refusing to denounce the white nationalists and forcing the NFL players to stand. The NFL players are protesting what they see as police brutality, but it goes deeper than that. Here are my thoughts. The…… Continue reading Thoughts on Ethnicity
Journal Entry – 5.25.2018
It is 8:48 PM on the night before my birthday. The weather has been foggy and we’ve even had a bit of rain recently. I feel as though I’ve been in a bit of a fog myself recently with the big change going on in my life. Next week is my last week working for…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 5.25.2018
Journal Entry – 3.31.2018
It is 6:25 AM on Saturday, March 31st. We’ve gotten some very nice weather on the coast these past two days with temperatures reaching into the 70s.

The roof is also repaired, the upstairs window caulked and the gardening done. The house now looks really nice…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 10.3.2017
Journal Entry – 10.1.2017
It is 8:29 PM; there has been a lot on my mind and I thought I’d get one more post in. The world seems to have radically changed since 2016. The main reason is President Trump: we’re on a wild roller coaster ride and I’m almost afraid to look at the news every morning. The…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 10.1.2017
Journal Entry – Karate and the Japanese Community
It is 4:37 AM on Sunday October 1st, 2017. Today was the ‘special clinic’ put on by Saiko Shihan Yasuhiko Oyama. He is the grandmaster of World Oyama Karate and comes in once or maybe twice a year (I’m not sure) from the HQ in Alabama. All green belts and up can only test when…… Continue reading Journal Entry – Karate and the Japanese Community
