As you know, I have been slow to post any videos. There’s a roadblock that I have been struggling to get around. Until then I will post on the blog. Seems easier to write and shoot still pictures.

I am definitely in a Level C group. Maybe even D!

It’s nearing midnight as I type this comment and I’m already thinking about breakfast!

Glad to help you recall some pleasant memories. And thanks for sharing the term “shunpiker.” I had never heard that before. Fits me perfectly.

I can’t take credit for coining that phrase. Someone shared that in a comment and it stuck in my head.

Though I enjoy your videos, I really find the combination of thoughtful words and still photography to be very meditative and thought provoking. And for me, it’s the iced lemon loaf at Starbucks and a cup of English Breakfast. Definitely my Kryptonite.
