While sitting at the bar at Chocolate Milk in Okinawa two gentlemen walked in. They were decked out in tailored suits that put my casual pants and t-shirt to shame. After greeting Hiro, the proprietor, they peered down the bar at me. I was sitting alone. These men must have noticed my dark as a sign that I was…

Lovely Day
My 36th birthday passed on the ninth day of the tenth month. The frequency with which I encountered the numbers ten and nine seemed to be heightened ahead of this day. I saw it in my ferry ticket, train seat assignments, glances at a clock, etc. Looking back, I am in a space where I…
Soul, Afros, and B-Style — A Peripatetic Chronicler Discovers Fukuoka Again
In September I purchased a ticket on the Kobee ferry to Fukuoka, Japan. It cost me about $70 round trip. These tickets aren’t readily available however.

Shibuya
Haneda to Shibuya — Cool describes my impression of Haneda Airport upon my first visit. Their helpful staff offered and provided excellent service. Smiling and giggling, they helped me get my train ticket and find the lockers. I did not need the extra maps and tourist information pamphlets though. My flight arrived around 2pm and my connecting flight…

I appreciate his compliment and I would like to direct your attention to something we probably don’t…
Perspective
Last Saturday I went hiking. It was an awesome experience. There is always a photographer on the hike. I received these photos from my fellow club member, James. It’s great taking my own pictures, but letting a professional do the work sometimes results in far better products like in this case. Here are the photos…
