Day 102
— Can you hear me now?
12-November-1971 (Fri.)
I’m in electronic music today. We’re looking at sound waves through an oscilloscope. Doesn’t sound exciting? Well, it’s not, but science and music are connected and learning can be exciting. It's acoustics. Can you hear me now?
Some issues are being resolved. A normal, busy day. Nothing exciting. Every day can’t be exciting, can it?

Day 033: Anjali in a dress—dinner and dancing

Day 33
— Anjali in a dress—dinner and dancing.
04-September-1971 (Sat.)
A full day
with Anjali. We both know that she will be leaving
soon which brings a bit of sadness to the day. We
start out with a Woody Allen movie and end with
dinner and dancing. And, she wore a dress and became
a young woman.
If you’re a romantic, read today’s journal.
I veer a bit from the day’s activities and revisit some of the reasons for writing this blog whether you’re young or older.
Finally, send me an email or note a comment on the blog. I would love to hear from all readers.
Take care.

Day 021: Busy, busy. Why am I writing this blog?

Day 21
— Busy, busy. Why am I writing this blog?
23-August-1971 (Mon.)
• “I’m busy, dude.” For myself, it’s busy in both 1971 and 2007 and in between.
• I revisit the reasons as to why I am writing this blog…
Mostly, to
• Encourage the "young" and the "graduated."
• Encourage the “middies” and “oldsters.”
• Be creative.
• Never give up.
• Follow those dreams.

Day 001: The journey begins
08/03/07 09:30 AM Filed in: Vienna
Day 1 —
The journey begins
03-Aug-1971 (Tue.)
Pan Am,
Flight 72, 6:00 pm, 747
The journey begins. My first time on a plane. Heck, I had never been outside of NJ, NY, VT, and PA.
I'm on the way to Vienna, Austria for a year's graduate study. Perhaps one of the best years of my life.
For each day that I have a journal entry, I transcribe the entry and then give my retrospective commentary looking back from today, 36 years later. I have posted a few pages of the original journal in the Pictures/Photo section of this website. They are on the small size but give you the general idea of the original.
I hope that you join me. Enjoy.
