Berkeley, Saturday, July 25, 2026 8L47 pm Some gems? I read today in the book of Ezekiel: carnelian chrysolite amethyst beryl lapis lazuli jasper. I listened as well for a bit to Professor Robert Alter, professor of Comparative Literature at UC Berkeley, who translated the Hebrew Tanakh to English, among other works. Last evening, early […]

Berkeley, Friday, July 24, 2026 7:02 PM Quail, Codornices park is great. As well, the Rose Walk, designed by Bernard Maybeck. Entrance, at least for the north houses is trough Codornices Street/Road. Regarding two of the south houses the entrance would be by either the west or east roads, Eunice or Rose? A fairly new […]

Berkeley, Thursday, July 23, 2026 8:11 PM This is one of the best times of the year, while at Berkeley to write for me. This is because of the temperature. Late fall until around March it gets quite cold at my apartment, which has a toll on the fingers. I said list of things, because, […]

Berkeley, Wednesday, July 22, 2026 10:08 PM Feast of Saint Mary Magdalen. I might know a few like her. An example of life, but once the commitment is there really needs to carry on. It really sucks when people is not fully transparent. OK. I arrived from the Doe library a few minutes ago. During […]

Berkeley, Wednesday, July 22, 2026 0:36 am 5 oz of beer in. There are plenty of things, particularly papers to organize at home.

Berkeley, Friday, July 16, 2026 3:39 am A better day, after somehow succumbed or diverted energy from some pressure. Advanced on reading and some writing. Still, in the evening consulted something from COPE, listened to the first 5 to ten minutes of the mass. I had to arrive at that time. So, I if I […]

Berkeley, Thursday, July 16, 2026 0:10 am It is quite late already. On campus. I will write the title at the end. I will write a title at the end. This might be a list of topics. There is this thing when some of almost all friends are not at the same stage of doing […]

Berkeley, Monday, July 13, 2026 I have delayed and probably softened and added the first part of the title for a post, I was wondering to write or not for days. It is true that self reflection might be placed elsewhere to fully express. Here some topics that might have caught my attention. I hope […]

Berkeley, Thursday, July 9, 2026 2:21 am Hard to write without generalities but it is the only way to do it here, unless that it is about me. Then, I apply a 50%. I was checking something else. OK.
