“Piplup” Cedar Park, 2024 I rode my Brompton to the neighborhood pond to do a bit of fishing. The water was murky and yucky but the fish were biting! And on the way home I saw that the Texas bluebonnets are starting to appear. A pretty good day. “Blue Gill” Cedar Park, 2024 “Bluebonnets” Cedar Park, 2024

“Night Light” Cedar Park, 2024 We got a dimly-lit motion-controlled nightlight for the bathroom. Late night trips will be much easier on the eyes.

“Look-Alike” Cedar Park, 2024 I didn’t know Lani was modeling on the side!

“Cool Labels” Austin, 2024 These saké bottle labels are so cool. Love them!

“Kimchee” Cedar Park, 2024 We went for Korean BBQ at Honey Pig and at the end, we got the Fried Rice which was made with some leftover meat and veggies. It was great! It’s sort of like at the end of nabé how you often add rice and make a porridge, but here you make fried rice. We were all so full that we only had a little bit, but the amount of leftovers are enough for three large servings!…

“Pennybacker” Austin, 2024 I spent the day at an event and the commute was about 45 minutes each way. It was okay because I had a nice audiobook to listen to, and some decent scenery to look at such as the Pennybacker Bridge. Still, my preference is definitely work-from-home. 😀

“Flowers” Cedar Park, 2024 💐

“Sunset” Big Island, 2024 Today we went on a fantastic trip to the summit of Mauna Kea with Mauna Kea Summit Adventures. It was so good. We were picked up in Kona and driven in a nice new van up to the summit, while the driver (Arthur) told us a ton of interesting facts about the Big Island. At the summit we enjoyed a beautiful sunset, and then returned to the visitor center where our driver set…

“Stickers” Kona, 2024 We arrived on the Big Island! I love the stickers… so cool. And they make me hungry… “Stickers” Kona, 2024

“Dusk” Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, 2024 The photo looks serene, but it was very windy and bitterly cold at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Very beautiful, though, and walking through the lava tube was really cool.

“Sleepy Yuzu” Cedar Park, 2024 😺 Too cute.

“Fondue” Cedar Park, 2024 This year it was just Mariko and I for our traditional fondue. Bay is in New York, and Koa was busy so… more fondue for us! 😁

“Work Clothes” Austin, 2024 I love my high-tops Black and white in the office Summoning clothing

“Running” Cedar Park, 2024 Just a two-miler Back to the healthy habit My legs will be sore

“Dungeons & Drafthouse” Austin, 2024 This afternoon I joined some friends for a Dungeons & Dragons adventure at Alamo Drafthouse. The event was called Dungeons & Drafthouse, and was hosted by a professional dungeon master, who guided us on a 3-hour adventure. It was super fun! I hadn’t played D&D since the early 80s, so it was like a blast from the distant past. We all had a great time! Apologies…

“Splatoon Art Books” Cedar Park, 2024 I finally own the Splatoon 2 & 3 art books! Long ago I saw them at Kinokuniya and didn’t buy them, and kind of regretted it. This last holiday, I saw them in the store again and was about to buy them but Mariko said that she could order them for about half the price from Japan. Sure enough, they were only 2,000 yen each, vs $45 US. It just took a few weeks to…

“Piplup at Night” Cedar Park, 2024 Went for a ride this chilly evening with Piplup and saw the lights on at the high school athletic field so I decided to check it out. They were practicing lacrosse, which looked pretty cool. After taking a photo of Piplup, I headed back to the warmth of home.
