Happy New Year!
I have been so busy... Oh wait that's not right... I have been so
lazy that I have not managed to write one thing all year so far.
Christmas was nice, my cousin Mike is back home for about a month before taking off for another six month trip with the Army, this time he's scheduled to head out to Denver. My cousin Dan and his family stopped off here on the way home from Riverside after Christmas, it was nice to see all of them again.
On New Years Eve I went to Mike's girlfriend Aya's place. We were treated to a traditional Japanese New Years dinner that was rather sushi-like :-) and quite tasty, except for the fish eggs that tasted like, well, fish eggs. :-p
I am in the very early planning phase for a trip to Washington DC. I don't much want to see all of the monuments glorifying war and conquest or the dens of evil where the Emperor and the Senate plot their vile and nefarious deeds, but there are some truly awesome museums there that I would love to visit :-)
The National Gallery of Art
The National Museum of Natural History
The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum
The National Zoo
That should fill a week :-)
