My family returned to Japan this summer to visit Baba. It was long overdue since we couldn’t go last year due to COVID, and me, being the only one who doesn’t hold a passport am not allowed in this year either. That means I’m a free man all summer. It suddenly dawned on me a…… Continue reading Trip to Ohio

The First Day of Summer 2021
It is 4:35 AM on Tuesday June 15th, 2021. There is no moon, a heavy fog lies above and the street is dimly illuminated by a street lamp. The world is silent with the only sounds coming from the air pump for my fish tank and a slight, chill breeze wafting through the trees. Everyone…… Continue reading The First Day of Summer 2021
Journal Entry – 4.24.21
This is the first post in over a month. This is inline with the reality that 2020 and the beginning of 2021 have been a blur due to the pandemic. One day fades into the next as there really isn’t much to differentiate them. We get up, to to work and school remotely, do exercise…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 4.24.21
Journal Entry – 12.19.20
The time is 5:35 AM. I woke up at 2:30 AM then decided to get out of bed at 3:00 AM. Time always goes very quickly in the first hour or so of the early morning as I complete my chores. This morning I put away the dishes, washed the cups left on the table,…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 12.19.20
2020 in Review
This is a year that has changed everything. COVID-19 has kept everyone mostly in the house since April and we’ve had an unhinged President who garnered a cult following of about half of Americans. History books will be able to tell us the magnitude of the changes but for now we rely on news articles…… Continue reading 2020 in Review
Journal Entry – 12.10.20
It is 11:55 AM on Thursday December 10th, 2020. For the first time in many days I have a few minutes to get a blog post in. Work has been busy: from 8 to about 2 I’ve been engrossed in my laptop only taking a break to refill coffee or pee. I look at the…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 12.10.20
2020 in review
It is 9:06 AM on October 31st, 2020. The weather is perfect for Halloween: there is no wind, the temperature is cool but not too cold, the fog level is well below Pedro Point and there isn’t a cloud in the sky. I do miss the autumn colors of Ohio at this time of year,…… Continue reading 2020 in review
COVID, Fires, Smoke, Heatwaves and Power Outages
2020 has been a terrible year. I wrote a few posts in the beginning of the year wondering if “anything else could go wrong,” and I really shouldn’t have said that. Things can always get worse and they certainly have, so much so, I’m afraid to say that phrase anymore. Yesterday was a first in…… Continue reading COVID, Fires, Smoke, Heatwaves and Power Outages
