After watching the sumo for about 30 minutes Tamae proposed we stop at a museum of sumo history. Before heading in that direction, however, she revealed (with a faint air of “watch, I’m about to pull a rabbit out of my hat”) that we were standing within sight of Lord Kira’s house. You can probably [...]

It’s early Tuesday morning. I’m deliberately skipping over about a day and half; if I don’t catch up soon I never will. Aside from the connectivity issues, my blogging has been impaired because we’ve been putting in some pretty long days and I’m so tired in the evenings that I don’t have the energy to [...]

I’m having trouble with my dial-up connection. We’re fine and having a good time but I wasn’t able to post at all yesterday. The intent of this post is twofold: one, to see whether I can post at all this morning; two, to let everyone know not to panic if nothing new appears here for [...]

It’s 8:25AM on Sunday. We’re back from eating breakfast. Tracie is writing a few postcards while I catch up on blogging. Sorry that I didn’t post more last night but I was so sleepy that I could hardly see straight.
Yesterday started with something of a surprise. The normally quiet restaurant in the hotel where we [...]

I’m sorry to follow my first brief post with another brief post, but it’s 10:00PM and we’re quite tired. I should be able to write more tomorrow morning but right now I’m practically falling asleep at keyboard.
We spent the day seeing sights in Tokyo with Richard and Rafael. We saw the Tokyo International Forum, a [...]

We made it. We’ve now been traveling and waiting in airports for over 24 hours straight, so this will be a brief post, and a possibly somewhat incoherent one.
We are now comfortably ensconced in the Asakusa View hotel in Tokyo. Our room is on the side of the building opposite the one we stayed in [...]

Yes, we enjoyed our time in Japan so much that we’re going back. I will again post regular entries (hopefully daily) and photos describing our adventures. We leave in the tiny hours of the morning on April 17; the first posting from Japan should appear here early the morning of the 18th.
Here’s an itinerary showing [...]

There’s a neat webcam here pointed at a nest occupied by a pair of great horned owls and their two offspring. I think that it’s only a few miles from our house, assuming that it’s near or on the NCAR building.

I’d like to know why they find the camera so interesting. There are times when [...]

Gosh, it’s almost becoming embarassing. We received another review full of praise (”another absolute winner”), high marks (a perfect 10/10 overall score, and CM award icons (Performance and Value awards), this time for Ricochet. I feel particularly smug about the grey box at the bottom of the page that describes the behavior of the Feedback [...]

Sorry that my blogging has been sparse lately. It seems like it’s been an oddly busy time here, both in good ways and in bad ways. There hasn’t been anything really noteworthy (or rather blogworthy) going on but for awhile we were plagued by small but annoying mishaps, distractions, and stupidities.
However, today I have something [...]
