I wish I were a better sleeper. One of the things I inherited from my mother is her difficulty getting to sleep. It isn’t insomnia or anything too terrible, but o do have a hard time convincing myself to go to sleep. There is a point where my body says “Now!” and if I miss … More Early Morning
From around noon the weather shifted. At the start of the day it was reasonably warm, for early March, and the sky was decently blue. Then the clouds came and everything turned grey. Rain was soon to follow. This actually fits rather well with the day. It is nearing the end of the school year … More Tears and Rain

As always I am perfectly up to date with current events and the timing for a review of Doctor Strange couldn’t be better. Or I am incredibly late but having just watched the movie last night this is the best I could do. After all, I live in Japan and Japan didn’t even have the … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Doctor Strange (2016)
Yesterday I went with Leo on our first Papa play date. Me and my little guy and a friend and his daughter and son all went to a rather huge park. It was great seeing my little guy at play with kids close to his own age. He was really taken with with my friend’s … More Play Date
Yesterday I had an experience that made me feel like I was gaining ground as an author. Kinokuniya is a large bookstore here in Japan. Their sixth floor Shibuya location in Tokyo has been the bookstore that I’ve gone to for English books since moving to Japan in 2004. Not only is my book, Deadly … More My Book at Kinokuniya
I had a bit of an adventure today and would love to share the full details. The only problem is I also spent the entire evening in Papa mode. Don’t get me wrong, Papa mode is awesome. Me and my little guy played and sang and danced. We laughed and even tickled a little. The … More Almost Bedtime
Yesterday felt rather bleak. I had worries that history was repeating itself in terms of work promises falling through. Really the only thing I had to hold on to was the knowledge that the people I work with are very special, warm-hearted people. My faith in their good intentions was never in doubt, but my faith … More (Re)Appointment
This is going to be a rather hard post to right because there is only so much I can say on this subject. I’m not strictly bound by confidentiality or anything like that, but talking too much might not be the smart thing to do. Not that I’ve ever let myself talk the the point … More Disappointment
My son eats. A lot. He is a few months shy of being two, but he eats the same as some adults I know. Since he is still limited in his ability to eat certain foods, it sometimes means making two separate meals at dinner time. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m about to talk … More Feeding my Son
