Yes, our plans are in full swing.Come early June 2009, we will be turning Japanese!My brother, who lives and works in Japan right now, has been wanting all of us to come visit him while he's still there (he's probably moving back to Colombia at some point) and since going to Japan is something Todd … Continue reading I think I’m turning Japanese, I really think so!

It's been a L-O-N-G time since I've had a truly free evening. For the last five+ years, I've been in school or studying nearly every night of the week.

Feeling a little blue about all the time that I wasted in my previous life. I'm putting it in perspective with the global financial crisis and how the odds of me ever … Continue reading Damn that stupid timeline…

I have just finished one of the better books that I've read in a great while. It's called TWILIGHT by Stephanie Meyer. I'm sure you've heard of it. It's what Todd would call "urban fantasy"...it's about a vampire, after all. I don't know how or why I got so engrossed in it, but I did. … Continue reading Stepping away for a bit…

Driving to work today, I was considering this nearing recession of ours. Well, really the recession is upon us with a depression nearing, if we're not careful.
