We experienced an earthquake here in our home in Japan last night. It measured 6.8 on the Richter scale. Luckily, no one appears to have died in the quake.
Since no one died, I can say I’m glad to have been through it. Call me insane. Natural disasters (or natural near-disasters) don’t [...]

I must be saving a ton of money on my heating bills.
I know this has to be the case because every time I get back to my desk after changing the baby’s diapers, the coffee cup I just poured prior to the event has become cold.
That reminded me of the [...]

Being in the Air Force, we’re pretty blessed to have some access in our commissaries to foods & drinks from around the world. One of my favorite is Gerolsteiner mineral water.

Little DJ may nearly be what my friends call a "Sucker Baby." He’s pretty easy to care for. He sleeps 6-7 hours per night most of the time. The only drawback is that he gets fussy from 7-11 PM, so it’s tough for us to get to sleep on time during the week. Luckily he lets [...]

Mother and son are doing splendidly! Christina spent 2 hours, 19 minutes in labor. This was our first kid, and since I figured she was going to be in labor for a good [...]

Tonight, Kane and his wife hosted an 80’s party! I can’t remember the last time I went to a party that much fun! Strange, the parties I went to in the 80s didn’t generally turn out like that. Maybe that’s because I was a doom-and-gloom Goth misdressed as a preppie with a [...]

I finally turned one of the heaters on in the house. I was having trouble studying (and especially typing) and was wondering why. Turns out it was 46o in the dining room. I just got that fixed, and it’s now a balmy 62o. Next, I have to find the translated manual on how [...]
