Still here. Still in Tokyo. Life hasn’t changed much over the past 7 months or so. I’m very happy. I’m also very focused. More than a year ago I broke my leg. It was an extremely unhappy time for me. I basically live alone. I have a roommate, but he isn’t much for cooking, so besides a few pity-onigiri brought over by my neighbor I had very few chances for a meal. There are only so many times you can hobble yourself down the road for ramen before you loose all motivation to bear the armpit sores and leave the house. Every time I see someone on crutches now I feel very bad for them. When I was in elementary school crutches looked like fun. They are not. They are absolute evil.

Thanks to The Coolidge and Robert Benigni , I've got, "princess" down pat. A few months working in an Italian deli and I can bust out with, "toothpick" in Italian faster than in Japanese.

It covers a bit of my childhood, reasons for coming to Japan, photography, outlook on life and my business.

Many of the photos are of me as a short legged terror, but more than one are of my parents and their parents when they were small.
