I’m back from Tokyo although a 16 hour night sleep was in order… Jayme and I had an awesome time and it was way too short. I was definitely not ready to come back to stinky Korea. We stayed in Fussa, a little town outside Tokyo, where Yokota AB is located. Fussa is very cute,… Continue reading Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto! (Image heavy post)

There isn’t a whole lot of info on… Continue reading Yellow Dust

Tickets in Korea are sporadic, more often… Continue reading CMOD – Cars in Korea
Ok, so this week I have been seriously trying to make a change in my blogging habit. Thanks so much to all who commented with helpful hints. I have moved the computer to the couch rather than the dining room table, making it harder to sit for a long period of time and stare at… Continue reading Random Post and a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT – well big for me…
A conversation I had with Ally the other night – A little background info: Ally helped Joe and I shop for a used car earlier this month.
