It was a beautiful place and the house we stayed temporarily was near to the sea (my happy place) and there was a lake too. But walking around, I can’t imagine myself living there for a long time. And…then there’s the famous and only sand dunes in Japan! To be honest, I ...
With sand, it’s because you know that there will be hell to pay for even going near it. Sand, like my nemesis, superfine glitter, gets everywhere and is nearly impossible to remove. Trying to eat a nice picnic beside the shore? I hope you don’t mind a little extra grit in your ...
Yet for the poor, affordable and timely dental care can be near impossible to find. Or maybe I go to work, to my job as a PA in a family practice that serves mostly the poor, addicted, and disenfranchised. Maybe I’ve spent too much time that day (time that causes other patients ...
My next goal is a continuation of one fromlast year.I want to go as full force as possible with my acting career this year.I am starting the new year in a good place with a lot of things happening for my acting career. I have a new agent, I’m getting new headshots, I’ve re...
The standard campsite was also a good fit for our setup. A neighboring campsite can be seen to the right. The park has cabins, but we have not used those. We did see people staying in them, so it appears this state park has some sort of COVID-19 mitigation in-place for use betwe...
But that’s not anywhere near the closest parallel to ISIS in my mind. But it’s the right time period. I think the very likely comparison for ISIS is the Japanese empire from the same time period. The Japanese culture had been repressed by its neighbors and most of the rest of the ...
going through reports from A to Z. Again, this was a failure in the sense that I was often bored with the process. I enjoy reading about business and going through 10-Ks, but not constantly and not at anywhere near the level of intensity required to compete with people who would rather...
St. Mark's Lutheran Church is a historically LGBTQ+ congregation that is a beacon in Station North, close to the heart of the Queer community in Baltimore, and near to public transit. They’ve offered us a magnificent opportunity to share the Great Hall that was historically designed as thei...
Reading tribute after tribute last night to Tony Bourdain (his friend all called him Tony, it seems) was what began my near-panic attack; it was just all too familiar, too sad, too much. I pulled myself away, for my own wellbeing, but I know I will return to it because this is ...
Why I’d love to live there: While we will likely never know for sure if there is continued existence after death (though considering the volume of near death experiences and other otherworldly phenomena reported throughout the centuries, I’m in the ‘there’s probably something after we die...
