Akemi is always the first one up. Suji and I have a little lie-in, eventually waking up a half hour or so later. I massage her ears and hips for a while after which we both get out of bed - and it's time for breakfast! For Suji anyway. We've been livestreaming the grand event…

And that was the plan. But I got distracted and ended up researching U.S. small value stocks. And, while I'd like to…
I'm considering doing something I haven't done in ages: watch a show. Despite the foreboding prospect of making a 10, maybe 13 episode commitment, I think I might do it. The following 10 shows have landed on my potential-viewing radar. Please talk me into OR out of watching any of the following... EUPHORIA MOON KNIGHT…
With our friends Yael and Tanavi in town, Akemi and I joined Dr. Blackjack for a couple of meals. First, lunch at Shook - Stuffed smoked dates, mushroom kibbeh, wild mushroom couscous. Not pictured: the best hummus in town. Then, dinner at Antler - The charcuterie board (the boar belly was sublime). The Elk Tartare.…

Hoowee! Received an email from my agent last night informing me that he was putting me up for a new genre show and requested a writing sample for a "sci-fi show that tends towards horror". The series is an adaptation of novel - which I happened to have read, so I knew the perfect sample…
Work has eaten into my once torrid reading pace, but I did read two books last week... The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan (January 4, 2022 release) Frida Liu is struggling. She doesn’t have a career worthy of her Chinese immigrant parents’ sacrifices. What’s worse is she can’t persuade her husband, Gust, to…
Impatient for spring to get here. Planning dinner. Ready to rock and roll. Flower Princess. Poor eyesight but great appetite... https://www.instagram.com/p/CbvkZeoF9JH/

Today, Akemi's and I visited J-Town, aka Japan-Town, aka the land of soy milk and honey-matcha mochi. It's located about 90 minutes from our place by public transportation, but I accompanied Akemi because that's what husband's do - especially after being guilted for not being more enthusiastic about a rare couples excursion. So, we walked…
I'm about to lapse into a fried chicken coma following a wondrous lunch at BB.Q Chicken - a Korean franchise featured in the K-Drama Crash Landing On You about a soldier from South Korean who, as a result of a paragliding accident, ends up north of the DMZ where she falls in love with a…

https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1508812913242431496 Excitement building... World's first space hotel to open in 2027 with "activities you can't do on Earth". Like slam dunk a basketball? Can't wait. Mysterious beams of light in the sky have been spotted around the world. We already did this on Stargate: Atlantis. Elon Musk says he's giving serious thought to creating a…
