Touring the Olympic Peninsula: Aberdeen, WA part 1 – Morrison Riverfront Park

Tuesday August 14, 2018 by
Aberdeen, WA is where my mom and dad both grew up. I honestly don’t know it that well, since thanks to my dad’s job I moved around growing up. I’d say that I split my childhood between eastern WA and southern CA, but most of the years that I can remember were spent in eastern

Little known beautiful places: Johns River – Westport, WA

Tuesday August 07, 2018 by
This isn’t in the photos, but it’s foggy and cold this morning in western Washington. It’s the weirdest summer I’ve ever experienced — foggy, frigid mornings, cool days, and then freezing nights!

Tuesday July 31, 2018 by
Recently, I’ve found myself thinking more often than not about the past – mistakes I’ve made, where I could have done better, things like that.

My 3 favorite books about Japan

Monday January 29, 2018 by
Being back in a cold and rainy climate reminds me of Tokyo. No, seriously. Washington has four seasons, just like Tokyo did, and just like Hawaii didn’t. I suppose that’s what has been making me feel really nostalgic these days. I’m in a place with the weather of Japan, but way less awesome. I have

We Visited a Masonic Cemetary

Tuesday October 24, 2017 by
You read that right. Joanne and I visited a Masonic Cemetary. Alone. It was one of the most calming experiences of my life. We were kind of invited, by the town, and when we arrived, we were definitely welcomed by the residents. This all started when, in the brochure listing the “town attractions” that we
