How can California possibly allow courthouses in Los Angeles County to remain open? My attorney friend had to attend court today for an “emergency hearing.” She discovered a judge who also had to attend this court, not normally his own, was just diagnosed with covid-19.

I Cannot Go Home to China
So I arrived in Los Angeles yesterday evening. Now, I’m at the mercy of the Chinese government. My girlfriend & I have not seen each other in 67 days. Here are a few current snapshots from LA…

Early mornings here on the South Island have been around 33F. My full tube of toothpaste has been depleted: Even though I…
What the F**k is Happening?!
Just received this from boss. If you were here now, in New Zealand, and this was your local neighborhood trail, what would YOU do? I’m in peak marathon condition. I’m consistently running 140+km per week. I’m strong and ready to race. I feel like a prison sentence looms over me like an executioner’s blade.
