New Year’s Day 2023

7:22pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Aliso Viejo, California, USA, Sunday night, January 1, 2023, New Year’s Day. Stayed up until after midnight last night to celebrate the new year with family. We had a fun time playing board games, listening to music and watching firework displays across the country. This morning I woke up later than usual and went for a short walk. It rained heavily last night so both the dog and I were soaked when we got home. Not much happened other than I watched a movie, picked up dinner and ran errands with my daughter. Not an overly ambitious start to the year but a good day nonetheless.

New Year’s Eve 2022

6:25pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Aliso Viejo, California, USA, Saturday evening, December 31, 2022, New Year’s Eve. The weather has been foggy and rainy all day. I drove I’m from Palm Desert this morning then picked up my daughter to visit friends in San Juan Capistrano. Afterwards we picked up dinner and settled in to celebrate the new year. My daughter is playing a game on her tablet and I am watching football. Time will tell if we have enough energy to see midnight.

Saturday, June 11

5:33pm, pacific standard time, Dana Point, California, USA, Saturday evening, June 11, 2022. Had a day at the park with acquaintances to celebrate our daughter’s 8th grade promotion. Last night, a couple of friends stayed the night. The apartment was so full I slept on a blow up mattress in the dining area. Now, my daughter has a friend over to watch anime. We will leave soon to grab dinner and take the friend home.
