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. The country I knew, one that rightly or wrongly, we Americans considered a force for good in…… Continue reading The Trump Win and My Thoughts
Dream Journal – The Restaurant
Last night I dreamt I was in a restaurant with a group of family and acquaintances which I’ll list shortly. The focus here is on the restaurant which is reoccurring but only once every couple of years. The restaurant is very high end, but somewhat gloomy and sober. I’m not afraid of the bill as…… Continue reading Dream Journal – The Restaurant
Journal Entry – 10.6.2024
It is 9:22 AM on Sunday, October 6th, 2024. We’re in a heat wave – or dome as they now call it – and it is actually warm in the morning. It is rare to not need a jacket in the mornings here in Pacifica but it is rarer still when it is downright warm,…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 10.6.2024

He had always wanted to live in the USA and rented an apartment in Berkeley. I loved living in…… Continue reading Memories of San Francisco 2006 – 2010
Journal Entry – 9.4.2024
It is Wednesday, September 4th, 2024. I haven’t been motivated to write in my journal for some time but have a free moment as well as a modicum of motivation. After I wrote the paragraph above my neighbor poked his head over the fence and we had a chat. They moved in about a year…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 9.4.2024
Journal Entry – 8.20.2024
It is 4:12 PM on Tuesday, August 20th, 2024. It is a beautiful evening with a slight breeze, no fog or clouds and a cool 65 degrees. I’ll start off in that I remain astonished at how quickly time passes and how much the world has changed. The year 2016, or even 2010 do not…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 8.20.2024
