...join me at AT&T Park on the evening of Thursday, June 20th to see the Giants host the Marlins.
The choir that my son is a member of will be performing the National Anthem that night. As some of you may recall, he sang it at the park for the first time last year and the result was that Matt Cain threw the Giants... Read More
Jake, my 14 year old son, sings in a local youth choir and they were invited to sing the National Anthem ahead of the San Francisco Giants hosting the Houston Astros, an annual affair that this choir has been involved with for a few years. Being a baseball kook I naturally was thrilled. My little sister was visiting... Read More

The word for hand plane (woodworking tool) in Japanese is Kanna. A kanna is made up of at least two parts; a main blade (or iron) and a wooden body that holds the main blade, which is called the Dai. A loose translation of the word dai might be holder. In the last two or three hundred years two more parts have been added, a... Read More
At 11:03 on the morning of April 14th, 1998, a boy was born into my waiting hands under the 104 degree water of a portable birthing pool in our bedroom at the back of our over 200 year old house on the day that the buds on the trees first began bursting into leaf on 37 Prospect Street, Newburyport, Massachusetts. His mother labored in the... Read More
Thank you so much. I'm not sure I feel 'legitimate' yet. Har har. Bit more time needed in the oven I think. I certainly thought I'd feel older by the time I hit 30, but strangely, I still feel very green. Oh well. It's good to feel young, no?
And that sunrise picture is brilliant! There's something so uplifting about a beautiful sky. Experiencing them always calms my anxieties a little.
I look forward to hearing more about your time in Japan. I love the severity of a master craftsman. Now they're people who understand discipline.
I very sorry for your loss. Mr. Miyano Dai Endo sounds like he was a wonderful man.
He who works with his hands is a laborer.
He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.

On the evening of November 18th last year I arrived in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, a Spanish island off the coast of West Africa. I had traveled from California to Boston, where I met a friend I have known since grade school, Ron, and the two of us boarded a flight to Las Palmas with a layover in Madrid. The purpose of our trip was... Read More
I will be away from November 17th until early or mid December. The sailing yacht Mustang awaits in Gran Canaria off the West Coast of Africa and I have been called to man her as she races to St. Lucia in the Caribbean.
I will miss you all and look forward to catching up when I return. Best wishes to you all. Enjoy Thanksgiving and... Read More
Pulling these hours since Aug '10. One adapts.
The surpriseing thing is how long it took to get the gig.
Hopeing that it is 'working smarter'.
So how went your leg of the race?
I don't remember the date, but it was winter of 95-96 I think. It was a Sunday night and I had been hanging out at the Grog in Newburyport with one of the waitresses and the rest of the floor staff. They had a so called blues show every Sunday night down in the basement where the stage is and as usual we would sit... Read More
I edited out your edit about being mentally challenged. I'm sorry. I hear you and feel your pain, but I have to uphold the rules. If this is a major issue, I'll let you re-post your post, but I'll have to take action afterwards and would greatly prefer not to.
Hope you are well.
