This morning I woke up in the hot and humid city of Tokyo. Tonight I falls asleep at the foot of mountains where I am serenaded by frogs. Another summer of adventure begins. Tomorrow will be a full day. Stay tuned for fun as I struggle to continue posting daily.
I’ve been resisting the urge to be political or comment on racial tensions that yet again (still) seem to be pulling my home country apart. In a way it seems to be because many people do not think it is possible to respect two groups of people at the same time. The last time I … More Getting Political: BlackLivesMatter
I picked up Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs the other day. I’m really enjoying it. Except for all the troubling bits. I’m not finished so I don’t want to say too much. Just some of the descriptions of people would not fly in a modern book. I’ll see where it goes. Outside … More Reading Tarzan

The other day when Rika came home she was excited. During the bus ride Leo, our son, spoke his first words. Leo likes riding the bus. There is the movement, the energy.

I didn’t here so many good things and since movies come to Japan quite late and are fairly expensive I decided to just wait for the release of the extended edition. And that is what I did. And I watched it. Yeah. Batman v Superman: … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Batman v Superman Ultimate edition
My mom has been here for a week. But she leaves tomorrow morning. It’s doubtful I’ll be able to see her before she goes. I’m not ready to say how great it was to spend so much time with her this week. Instead I’ll just say that my son has been really happy getting to … More Bye Mom
During my morning commute yesterday in addition to writing a post about the slow monotony of traveling to and from work, I also read the news about how new character, Riri Williams, will soon be taking over as the new Iron Man. Understandably there are a fair amount of people who are excited about this … More Riri Williams should be more than Fill In Iron Man
Waiting at the train station. My bags are heavy. My body, tired. More stares this morning but I’m the same me. A passing train brings a cool breeze that momentarily chills the sweat on my brow. Another train comes, closer this time, and blocks the breeze. The movement of people adds to the heat. Yesterday … More Commute: An Hour Earlier
I just left a little luncheon to head to work for a little bit. That alone means that today is a slightly odd day. Since my school is having a bit of a special schedule it means I don’t have to be there except for a few hours today. Which is good because not only … More Everyone’s Here
