Pearl settling in happily at the inlaws after a long day’s drive. We had some @gustospizza_salem , and it was fantastic! The veggie calzone was delicious and gigantic, and they were happy to deliver touchless to us. Highly recommend, will happily order from again, once we devour the leftovers. π we had a lot of hungry people and they all came away very satisfied.

Here is a translation of “Hello, dear journal, it is Scotto again” into Japanese:
γγγγ«γ‘γ―γζγγζ₯θ¨γγΎγγΉγ³γγγ§γγ(konnichiwa, aisuru nikki, mata sukotto desu)
The greeting “konnichiwa” means “hello,” and “aisuru nikki” means “dear journal.” “Mata” means “again,” and “sukotto desu” is a way of saying “it is Scotto.” The final verb “desu” is a copula, similar to “is” in English, that is used to connect the subject of a sentence to a predicate.
Adios, 2022! I am hoping that 2023 is a bit more kind and good to us all… and maybe we can be better to one another.
I’m not holding my breath, though I will do what I can to do my part.
Going to try to be less of a grumpy old man, at the very least.
2 days in so far! https://instagr.am/p/Cm8CaQEOBBN/

15 years ago today, polar bear plunge Jan 1, 2007 (the first one for north beach, I think)
Note how red my legs are, the water was so cold that year, 35β°F, if memory serves. I want hot chocolate, just thinking about it!

New year’s eve,
A time for reflection,
Resolutions made.
Fireworks burst bright,
Celebrating new beginnings,
Hope for the future.
In the still of night,
The old year fades away,
The new year dawns.
A fresh start awaits,
Leaving the past behind us,
Embracing new hope.

Stuck in my brain today
(Tom Waits) Cookie Monster – God’s away on business
I’d sell your heart to the junkman
Baby, for a buck, for a buck
If you’re looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch
You’re out of luck, you’re out of luck
Ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
There’s leak, there’s a leak, in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves, and lawyers
God’s away, God’s away
God’s away on business
Business
God’s away, God’s away
God’s away on business
Business
Digging up the dead with a shovel and a pick
It’s a job, it’s a job
Bloody moon rising with a plague and a flood
Join the mob, join the mob
It’s all over, it’s all over, it’s all over
And there’s a leak, there’s a leak, in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves, and lawyers
God’s away, God’s away, God’s away
On Business
Business
God’s away, God’s away
On Business
Business, ha
Goddamn there’s always such a big temptation
To be good, to be good
There’s always free cheddar in a mousetrap, baby
It’s a deal, it’s a deal
God’s away, God’s away, God’s away
On business
Business
God’s away, God’s away, God’s away
On business
Business
I narrow my eyes like a coin slot baby
Let her ring, let her ring
God’s away, God’s away
God’s away on business
God’s away, God’s away
God’s away on business, business
