I ordered parts for a new road bike that I want to build here in Japan.

It’s exciting but excruciating because things are so delayed due to the pandemic. Anyway it will happen.

In the mean time I’m writing about coffee and tomorrow I head back to Tokyo to continue a story I started. There is always more and so I have to keep at it.

My novel debuts next month and I have to promote it. Family and friends anxiously await copies but at the same time. Some people are so into themselves but don’t support others but what can you do? Just believe in your own creativity and go forward and upward into outer space.
