On May 1st, 2014 it will officially be one year at this job, definitely doesn't feel like it has been that long most of the time. Mostly, I very much like the job and the coworkers and the boss-lady.

Whatever I feel the need to get off my chest.
Mush Fest
A few days ago the husband and I were grocery shopping and I said something (I have no idea what it was now) but my husband turned towards me, gently took my face in his hands and kissed me, said he loved me and continued shopping. I had to struggle to keep the tears back. … Continue reading Mush Fest
A Dedication
I'd like to take a moment to dedicate the following song to the children on Naval Base Yokosuka:
A Rainy Evening
It's a beautiful rainy evening so I decided to sit outside on the balcony and have a snack of dried apricots and milk and a little Candy Crush on the tablet. Apparently, in doing this my ears perked up and I was noticing all kinds of sounds. Crows and Seahawks chatting with each other, wind … Continue reading A Rainy Evening

Now I get why he does it in some cases but then there's times like tonight where he asks a question, follows up that he just doesn't understand and his … Continue reading “Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk”
Peter O’Toole, With Great Respect
An actor I will truly miss seeing on the big screen is Peter O'Toole. When I was a child my mother often turned on the old movies, Lawrence of Arabia and The Lion In Winter were favorites of mine. No matter the character he played in a movie or how large or small the role, … Continue reading Peter O’Toole, With Great Respect
Winter Wind
If there is one thing that's constant in Japan it's the varying directions of the wind. It was already dark out, the wind was whipping twigs, dirt, leaves and other such things around everywhere. Pushing at me from the front as I walked toward the building I was headed to, then from the left side … Continue reading Winter Wind
