iRobot

It’s been a little chilly and rainy out here. I went for a run on Friday and was about ready to step out the door when Nick said, “Um, maybe you should wear a jacket.”  Fine. Since my iPod was already strapped to my arm, and I was too lazy to take it off and […]

I heart Japan

Not just because I’m Japanese…..but that probably helps. We read Sadako and the 1000 Paper Cranes in 1st grade.  Good read.  It was about a little girl that got Leukemia after the atom bomb was dropped on Japan.  She tries to fold 1000 paper cranes so she can get her wish granted – to live. […]
