This site is a blog about my thoughts and experiences. These include topics from things I have read about, my years as a scientist, judo, sailing, bread baking, family and other assorted odds and ends. I hope that you find these essays interesting and if so please consider sending me a donation so that I can continue writing. I will be adding new blogs on a semi regular basis. Please use Venmo and send to https://venmo.com/u/judoal.

Thank you
