It is 7:52 AM on Monday, Labor Day, of September 6th 2021. I’m writing from my favorite new perch, my standing desk on the second floor overlooking the street. The sun is almost to the point where I must roll my desk to the small wall space between two windows so it is not shining…… Continue reading Reflections on the Summer of 2021 – Ohio, Beach Boardwalk, Wineries and Yosemite

Trip to Paso Robles
Last weekend was a three day holiday due to President’s Day so we decided to take a trip south. We left on Saturday morning arriving in Monterey around 10: 30 AM to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It is good to get there early before the crowds of tourists who usually show up around noon.…… Continue reading Trip to Paso Robles
The Year 2016 in Review
It is now 4:07 AM on January 14th, 2017. The holidays of Christmas and New Year are distant memories that seem to have happened long, long ago. The time off was not relaxing due to two little boys.

Journal Entry – 8.17.2016

It is now 5:32 AM. I woke up earlier than usual and so went to the gym earlier then usual and thus have more time than I normally do this morning. Let’s start with this past weekend.

Journal Entry – Ryan, Sylvain visit
These past two weekends have been busy. My friend from college Ryan – who I also studied with in France – came to visit. It just so happened that a French friend of his – Sylvain – would be in town at the same time and the first weekend we all went to Napa. I…… Continue reading Journal Entry – Ryan, Sylvain visit
Journal Entry – Kevin Here
Kevin is a childhood friend who I’ve keep in touch with over the years and it had been over five years since I last saw him; that was in Las Vegas and pre-kids. It is well known that time speeds up the older we become and children add an extra accelerator. He was only here…… Continue reading Journal Entry – Kevin Here
