Today’s task was a “random day.” This will be a long post as there are many instructions: 1. Count the number of buses you see on a walk — That was 5. some were school buses and some public transportation. I saw them only because we walked on sidewalks and not the urban trails. I had to prepare for this…

Today’s task was titled “Love of your life” and demanded to gaze into a stranger’s eyes to ascertain whether they are a candidate. Well, I had two options: again walking Opee or meeting with people over Zoom as I am still working from home. I chose Zoom. That demanded displaying them in the speaker’s view as then their window would…

A lot has happened since I last posted. Mainly related to my new house. It is finally mine! I have the keys! I still have a month to move in as I am still under the lease for my present place but I am pretty anxious to move. I packed my first box today. It’s all books and it is…

Beginning of June already… Where does the time go? It seems just yesterday I was planning projects for the Summer and now that Summer is officially here I find myself procrastinating and re-planning my life for a later date. Some of it is laziness and some of it is a fear of failing. Planning is very akin to New Year’s…

Filed my taxes and was completely disheartened at the amount I ended up owing… The only good thing is that I actually had extra money to pay for it. Of course, I drank wine after receiving that news. How could you not? It was truly “drowning my sorrows.” Got a second dose of the vaccine. I used Moderna. I anticipated…

I love my house! I moved here a couple of years ago from the apartment I lived in for 5 years. That apartment never felt like home and every year I was telling myself that it is time to move on. It was a beautiful apartment: a top-floor corner unit with tons of big windows. Anyone would be happy to…

I’ve been filling up my jazz collection. the latest addition was John Coltraine. The greatest sax player ever. No Kenny G and easy listening here. I generally collect the Blue Note series but Coltraine’s album is seminal so I could not pass it up in spite of it is being from the Columbia Records series. My collection is growing and…

Ten more days left of November. Time tends to fly the older you get. I’ve been working on drawings a lot lately. They are coming along nicely.

It is the end of October and the temperature is still in the 60’s. It is crazy. I hope that winter will appear sometime and make me happy with a little frost in the mornings. We went to a field this morning and somehow spent 3.5 hours there. Time flew as there were a lot of people and other beasties…

Today is a lazy day for me. I started it with an intention to run but quickly realized that today might take more effort as I hiked 10 miles the day before so naturally, I bailed out and went back to sleep. Besides, it was rainy outside of my window and rain always gives pleasure to staying inside. Not much…
