He is supposed to be sent back to Indonesia, but Sour Grapes focuses on his life in Arcadia, California as a counterfeiter of fine and rare wines

  • Last Five Movies I’ve Watched in October 2020

    Since I’m way past when I should have posted Halloween movies, I’m not going to say much about these movies except to watch them. I’ve seen Sleepy Hollow and The Vampire’s Assistant for a second time now, but the others were the first time watching them. They were good movies to take your mind off

  • Book Recommendation: Think Like a Freak

    Publication Date: 2015 Publisher: Penguin Books Page Number: 286 I have read all their other books in a short amount of time. Their books are that engaging.

  • Journal Entry #64: I Want a Redo of 2020!

    My head feels like it’s been put in a meat grinder.  Last night was the first time my body relaxed enough for me to sleep mostly throughout the night since the election was unofficially decided.  It feels like the next two months will seem a lot longer until Biden officially becomes the 46th U.S. president.

    Okay, I don’t have a lot of time as I have to get on the road (highway), but as I was getting ice tea today, I ran across this. Yes, I was in the passenger seat so I was able to take a picture with my phone. It’s blurry but serves a purpose, nonetheless, and
