While we were driving around today it occurred to me that there was a habit I learned in Japan that I didn't notice until now. Instead of pointing towards something with my finger I use my whole hand in a more gentle gesture. I was pointing at something out the window and gestured with my … Continue reading A Habit Learned In Japan

Aquarium EntranceIt was a rainy day today, so I took Estelle to the Birch Aquarium at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla. We’ve been meaning to go there for awhile, as I have always had a fascination with the ocean, and Estelle is too young to care. So, off we went. If you plan… … Continue reading New Blogger to Share — The Fun Boss

One was literally a lot of sound and cranked up high and the other was more pushy salesmen and noisy touristy … Continue reading Awesome Noise
The Honeymoon
On March 15, 2012 I got married. It was a quick Las Vegas - drive thru non-event that neither of our families attended with us. Almost a year later we had a reception where we invited our families to celebrate our wedding with us. We never had a honeymoon. This year is our last year in Japan, … Continue reading The Honeymoon

I have a fantastic vacation to report about but there's so much going on right now I'm just not focused in enough to do the trip justice. With work and trying to squeeze in life stuff, the next couple of weeks is going to be crazy busy. Ozzfest concert series this weekend! I feel bad … Continue reading Time and Energy
