About Blog

    Instead of bombarding our friends & family with mounds of pictures every single day I've created this blog.

    You can access it anytime of day or night, & when you get bored reading my commentary, you can always look at the pictures & go about your day.

    You can expect at least a post a day most every day, including pictures, so refresh often! Also, be sure to sign the guestbook (located here) to let us know you've visited.

I Just Felt My First Earthquake!

EEK!!! As I sat here uploading some videos, I started shaking. Seriously. Luckily Taka was in the room or I would have thought I was having an epileptic episode.

Taka turned on the TV (to a Tokyo Giants baseball game) and on the top of the screen almost immediately flashed information about the earthquake. It was a 5.6 magnitude quake, but only felt as a 3 or so in the Tokyo area. UPDATE: They correctly measured it at a 4.9, so not so bad!

Oh, did I mention I don't like earthquakes!
