 “HS Selfie” Torrance, 2023

I went for a long run today around my hometown to see some nostalgic sights, including my old high school. It still looks the same as when I went there 40 years ago, but there are more fences and locks for security, and a new softball field. But I did the loop around the campus, which is one of the runs we used to do when training for cross-country. It was a lot more fun this time around! (I didn’t enjoy running when I was in high school )

I also found a few cool leaves. I’ll use them as bookmarks.

 “Legroom” 2023

On our flight, we got priority seating and also sat in the row that had free drinks, alcohol included! I still don’t know how it works other than it’s one of the perks that Mariko has due to her status on American Airlines. I enjoyed the extra room and we shared a beer, which made the flight a bit nicer! One downside was that we were just behind first class, so I could see and smell the dinner that they were enjoying… it made me so hungry!

 “At the Movies” Austin, 2023

Tonight I saw The Boy and the Heron with my friend Mikey. I thought the movie was okay… the story was hard to follow and there were too many birds. But I thought the artwork of the environment was incredible! I’ll probably watch it one more time before deciding how much I enjoyed it, but since it is a Ghibli movie, it’s a definite must-see!
