Letter from Tokyo

March 16, 2011

My father just sent an email yesterday to my sister and I describing the situation in Tokyo. Knowing how everything runs like clockwork in that city, it’s even more striking how the country adapts when they have to improvise. Four days after the quake we are still feeling aftershocks. We’ve received over sixy aftershocks so [...]

Birthday

June 4, 2005

Spring Skiing

May 12, 2005

I’m catching up on my backlog of photos here but a two weekends back we headed up to Tahoe to catch the last of the snow with our neighbors who have an enormous cabin up near Donner Lake. Poor Julia couldn’t ski because the rental place didn’t have boots small enough for her but she [...]

Isn’t She Beautiful?

December 9, 2004

An old website I started with my dad and a group of friends while living in Tokyo just turned 10 this year. While going through my archives looking for old screenshots I ran across photos from my wedding and came across this photo of Izumi. Wow! She looks spectacular.
