Why Did Arcades Die in America?

https://youtu.be/JQlCW0JyehY For awhile arcades had pretty much vanished in America, but they have always thrived in Japan. It used to be that America only had remnants of arcade games located in places like Chuck E. Cheese or perhaps near the customer service area of a super store. There was a time when America had HUGE...

Day 23 – Let’s Have a Teppan Dinner!

I don’t make a Christmas dinner on Christmas Day nor do I have anywhere to go for a festive feast, so rather than stay home in my pajamas all day, I went out for a Teppan meal. It’s the best of both worlds! Food and entertainment. In my daily YouTube video blog below I visit...

Mind Mush

I've been struggling with what to write about lately. Needless to say that's why I haven't been blogging. Recently it seems that here has been a circus in my head busy with juggling career, adult responsibilities, new courses, timelines, deadlines and the list goes on and on. I never really invested too much time watching...

The Women Of Black Panther

I rarely do this but I'm going to nerd out a bit over Black Panther.

I forgot we each had "homework" that is due tomorrow. Our homework is to write a mission statement. I spent the afternoon going through my to-do list...

Go Forth And Conquer

For the last few days I've been hooked on Harry Styles' Sign of the Times.  It's a beautiful song with a beautiful message and it shall be my new piano piece to work on. "Most of the stuff that hurts...

Making Music

I really like the people I work with. We're an interesting bunch of characters with various talents whom together are invincible. One July day Ben and I started writing a poem on the whiteboard in my office. We took turns adding lines to it all of which related to work. We then came up with...

End of Summer in Cancún

      For the last three years I've been fortunate enough to celebrate my birthday at a beach destination. First it was Honolulu, Hawaii then Key West, Florida and this year Cancún, Mexico. If I had to vote on my favorite beach I would have to say for me it's Cancún. All 3 are...
