Early Morning

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

Tears and Rain

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.

Grumpy Bird Reviews: Doctor Strange (2016)

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)

Play Date

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

My Book at Kinokuniya

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
