I lay down some words which will be included in the new song I am putting together, and I am having a blast with my Oculus II except I am now officially done with the rollercoaster app. Stomach-churning. The song is called Without You and the words I have assembled in this, the embryonic processContinue reading “Starting Anew”

The Night Before Christmas
Only my very favorite night of the year. Still. The Domestic Despot has already hit the sack. She has been running all over the place this season and she is beat. I hope she sleeps well tonight.

It was a long flight and I remember leaving at around 11am and weContinue reading “Yokoso”

I grew up remembering real trees as the norm. When we moved from California to Japan, we maintained the realContinue reading “Christmas Trees”
