Journal Entry – 1.16.2016
It is 5:53 AM. I woke up much earlier but was pretty exhausted from the day before so went back to sleep and finally got out of bed at five.

The White House – Virtual Reality Tour
I just took the tour in VR and it is fantastic!!! I’ve decided that before I die I need to have a drink – nice scotch, elegant burbon, fancy wine, whatever – in the Red Room on a cold winter’s evening with a blazing fire in the fireplace.

The first book was in Latin; I skimmed a few paragraphs and then put it back since I currently do not read Latin. The next book I picked up…… Continue reading The Third School Reader

New Year’s Morning 2017
It is 6:49 AM on the first day of 2017. I woke up much later than usual not due to staying up until midnight or drinking too much: I woke up later than usual from a busy day hiking, playing with the boys then having three small champagne glasses of Louis d’Estree Sparkling Méthode Traditionnelle…… Continue reading New Year’s Morning 2017
