5:54pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Aliso Viejo, California, USA, Sunday evening, January 29, 2023. There was no baseball game yesterday. Rather, the teams practiced technique and reviewed fundamentals. It was still a fun time and my daughter did well in every aspect. This morning, we got up early and went to a movie in Irvine. Afterwards, I dropped her off and ran errands by myself. All in all it was a nice weekend. Now the skies have turned gray and a little rain is falling. The forecast calls for precipitation tomorrow as well. My trip to Palm Desert might be interesting if it keeps up.

Baseball mitts
6:35pm, mountain standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Saturday evening, January 21, 2023. Enjoyed a low key day in the apartment. Ran some errands this afternoon but, nothing too ambitious. I needed time to rejuvenate after a long week. I was going to meet a friend for dinner tonight but canceled. I didn’t have the desire nor energy to go out. On another note; my daughter is starting baseball next week. I dug our mitts out of storage and have been breaking them in. So far, so good. I haven’t played catch in years and never with her. I am excited to get back out there and to share that experience with her.

Raining in Chandler, Arizona
12:03pm, mountain standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Saturday afternoon, December 3, 2022. It is raining in Chandler, which is nice for a change. Usually it is glaringly sunny with barely a cloud to be seen. Of course, my plan was to run errands this morning, so it is a slight hindrance. But, I can wash clothes and get ready for next week while waiting for the storm to pass. I won’t be in Arizona again until after the new year. I need to make the best use of my time while I am here.
Usual Sunday blues
3:18pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA, Sunday afternoon, October 16, 2022. Feeling the usual Sunday blues for no reason, other than realizing the reward for a weekend well spent is starting over Monday morning. Today I went for a short walk, did laundry, ran errands and cleaned the kitchen. There are some things I need to do for work but, so far, have procrastinated doing them.
Back in Dublin, California
5:54pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Dublin, California, USA, Monday evening, September 19, 2022. Had a good day yesterday. Took it easy, ran a couple of errands, finished the book I was reading and watched football. This morning I flew to Oakland then drove to Dublin. The flight was delayed and baggage took forever. I did not get into town until after three. I am at the hotel, checking email and getting ready for work tomorrow.
Time to slow down
6:14pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA, Sunday evening, August 21, 2022. Went for a walk this morning, worked out, ran to the store then did a couple loads of laundry. Once we got everything taken care of I took my daughter to dinner. We are in for the night now. Time to slow down and prepare for the week to come.
Pizza was the choice
6:37pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA, Saturday night, July 2, 2022. Went for a walk early this morning. So early, the dog and I fell back asleep upon returning. Later, I put together a storage chest to hold beach equipment then took my daughter to lunch. In the afternoon we drive around looking at apartments in the area (my daughter’s mom is deciding whether to renew the lease) and then ran errands. Pizza was the choice for dinner. Now I am going to eat a bowl of ice cream.
