Dollars

When our oldest daughter (Pookies) began asking where I was going every day, my wife explained that I was going to work to ‘make dollars so we can have clothes and food and toys’. It was a simple way of explaining that Daddy’s a salaryman. Well, our youngest daughter (Peanut) is now asking the same read more..

Do You Like Cuteness?

stuff

Hi, I’m alive. If you’re curious, here’s a quick hit list: 1. Finished Remembering The Kanji 1, which is a milestone in my Japanese learning. I’m happy about that. 2. Kids are doing great. More updates on them over at my wife’s blog. 3. Looking forward to Christmas. I really wish I could afford a Nintendo Wii and/or read more..

T’giving

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven’t updated much. I’ve actually been thinking of giving up on this blog entirely, but we’ll see. I suppose today is when we’re supposed to think and talk about all we’re thankful for. At the moment, I’m thankful for a piece of Edwards Key Lime pie, decaf coffee, and a singer singing read more..
