The Luxury of Eating What You Want.

Dear Diary, On my way home, I saw the word “VEGAN” scrawled on a traffic pole. 😂 I thought this was very funny, considering that I considered herbivores to be rather gentle by nature. Aside from a few friends I know who associate their choice to be vegan to a social and political fight to…

Once a upon a time, in a past far, far distant memory, we lived in West Africa. My school was a small American school that was a collective of missionaries, army brats, dilpomat brats and local children. Despite the Coup in 1980 and the 3 months temporary closure, the school and its members survived the ordeal and continued to operate.

It was by far the least romantic or civilized place to live as an adolescent but it was where I felt I could run around free like a wild animal - no rules other than for safety. The school continues to live on, despite even a period of abandonment and decay, but this shot of the hallway lockers still take me back decades to that moment in my life, when we lived in West Africa.

Last view of my home country as we fly back to States side... Always heartbreaking but amazed by the beautiful sunset view that we were blessed with, as we departed Narita Airport. The weather has been particularly wet this trip, with three typhoons and so much destruction in Chiba an other areas hit by the floods. I pray for them. Also thankful to have had another precious time with my family back home. #homeiswheretheheartis

Random little things you find on a spotless public bathroom wall in Japan. It’s nice not to see graffiti but a tiny little sticker left by a small child 👶🏻

Signage in a Tokyo subway station. Beware of being surprised by someone, or someone being a Michael Jackson Thriller impersonator. #funwithsigns #alwaysbepolite #ohhjapanyouneverfailtoamuseme.

Fortunate to be here for the dawn of our new Emperor 🙏 🇯🇵 It’s been over 30 years but another dawn of a new era “Reiwa”. New emperor, Banzai!
