I'm an American writer living in Japan. I publish short stories on Substack at billadler.substack.com. I'm a pilot, ramen lover, watch collector, coffee drinker, voracious reader, bicycler, and cat person.
That system works, too.

Enjoy Vivian Morelli's terrific GQ article, "9 time-only watches that don't overcomplicate things." I am delighted to have been interviewed for this article.

Good morning from Kinmo the cat.
On their return trip to Earth, a spacefaring family faces the ultimate test of right versus wrong.
Find out what happens to them in my short story, "The Last Sleep."

Thank you. :)
Good morning from Kinmo the cat.
Have a great dream of cats.
Remember, Trump is a convicted felon.
Yup.
Good morning from Kinmo the cat.
Like so many things that the Trump regime does, public executions are grotesque.
Good morning from Kinmo the cat.
I write short stories about Japan, as well as other topics.
I hope you enjoy "The Train Pusher."
The job of physically squeezing people onto morning commuter trains in Tokyo is more important than you can imagine.

Enjoy Adam Cheung's terrific Mr Porter The Journal article about the German watchmaker, Nomos. I am delighted to have been interviewed for this article.
Nomos' Bauhaus-inspired watches are awesome.

My headlamps are all spread out, so I still have to gather them for a group shot. Two are by the front door, there's one in every bag, one in the closet, and multiple ones in our emergency apartment.
This new Wurkkos is pretty good! It's a bit bulky and boxy as you suggested for pocket carry, but in the bag works. I like the wing light, which is handy.
It's possible that Kinmo is pretending to work so that I give her a snack for sustenance.
I'd love to adopt them all!
