It has taken forever and a day to get through this issue of Lapham’s Quarterly. This is not because it was a bad issue but rather these factors: WorkKidsKarateNintendo Reading has just taken a back seat as all the great times for reading are usually taken by requests to play for the kids.

Shoes of the 90s
I had a lunch appointment at BJs Bar and Grill at Tanforan the other day. I had originally planned on going early to get a massage beforehand but they were busy so I had an extra 30 minutes to kill.

Journal Entry – 12.15.2018
It is 2:55 AM on Saturday December 15th, 2018. I’m still trying to get into the Christmas mood but it is hampered by a couple of things.
