Foot on Head and other Stretchy Moves
It’s been a long day. Yumiko had her play at school last night and tonight. I sat through both performances and loved it all. They were great. Her middle school principal was an actor in a former life and he put his heart and soul into creating and directing a 90 minute show that…

Computer Adventure
Oh, what a time we had on Sunday. It was about 10:30 a.m. Yumiko and I were both working on our computers. Yumiko asked me to take a look at her screen. She had been experimenting by taking the software icons off her “docking station” and putting them somewhere else on her computer so…

2-7-21 Ai Ai Building and The Itchy Ear
Finding places in Tokyo is no easy feat. Today, Yumiko needed to go to the ear doctor. She has had an itchy inner ear problem for a few days and we knew we had to get to the ear doctor or she would go crazy. (See Photo for the Itchy Ear) So yesterday when…

Snow and Cherry Trees
It snowed today!! Ken says it never snows in Tokyo anymore, but it snowed today. Earlier this morning before the snow, I was in YoYogi Park and captured a few cherry trees that were in full bloom. I was glad to see the snow, but I will really be happy when Spring arrives.
