Originally my plan was to be gone a week for some “me time” to Kampot. I particularly chose the city because of our last visit there. Its a peaceful retreat, slower, different restaurants and coffee shops and its farther away. There is also this vibe to it which I really enjoyed in August. Back then, the weather was...

It’s down to a spot. Have my usual iced americano and some tea. The Street Coffee yields some morning happiness. Very nice and of course a repeat of a repeat. But I don’t just come here to have a nice iced coffee. I come here for the incipient thoughts. Then somehow share them. Over there on the blog you know. The...

This morning was enjoyable and I decided to sustain that with a stop at an old favorite for a final coffee. I used to come to Time Coffee just about every day. It was here I met my friend Russell years ago. We would talk life, philosophy, our times. It always seemed fitting. Like each of our times while completely...

Been thinking how good a bagel would be. I really like everything bagels with cream cheese and a hit latte. So when tomorrow becomes today I will head to New York Bagels just a block or so from the river. It’s a small place and someone will always say I could get local Khmer food for less. Here’s the thing. I don’t...

Well not really. It’s going on fall really so right now Siem Reap has beautiful cool mornings. Went out last night for beers. Met with bill. I had my fill. Done with barangs for a time. Now though let’s talk spring. Spring Coffee that is. Really nice and comfortable place not that far from the house. I can sit and...

Lately I’ve wanted some kind of change in the things I do. How I really want to have some kind of home in words. Not words over on some social media site or wallowing in favorites and boosts. More of a place I could hold. A place I could own and feel. A start of a thing. Not just where blog posts go when I’m done....

This morning after the usual reflection and waffling I found myself heading out. Away from the house. The two puppies of chaos love to see me and hate me to go. The writing always swirls around me when I reach Coffee Bean. It’s also Monday and I get some money today from social security. Other places could be...

Morning time and this morning like usual, I go to see the puppies and I’m attacked. They both will start wanting the attention but soon they get jealous. If I pet one, the other starts attacking me or the other. I enjoy their company I guess more than some humans I know here. I started working on this little thing...

It’s a Saturday morning. Been playing with how I want to do a notes collection in 11ty. Have a few possibilities. I don’t like actually doing the work in the mornings. I like puttering around in the diary and then starting this instead. All the other stuff is meant for after I walk and do coffee. That time is coming...

Lately been back to playing with the website a bit. I’ve wanted to try out some css changes so luckily I can run the local development server first that lets me see how things will look. If I add some functionality it helps find issues. One of the things I want to add are notes. I think of them as shorter little...

Its really Wednesday afternoon. Almost evening. Its one of the days where the puppies seem lazy. Sleeping for some reason right by our door. My wife is out doing the things she likes. Rest of the family is still here. No idea when they will go home. So I just hide out. Its our bedroom here for me. Its the only room...

Once I get going it always seems like I got something more to say. The blog now is this place for me to record. The journal gets me going. Writing the blog lets me feel the nature of this unfinished story. How today it crossed over on itself and I had to go to Muni Coffee. So here I sit. I have not been in awhile....
