Sakura-Con is coming soon...

Change of plans on the 6th: We decided to drive to a park instead. Pt. Defience park in Tacoma is criss-crossed with over 100 miles of hiking trails. This time, the kids and I hiked up from the promenade at Owens Beach.

This week was my baby's birthday. She turned 7... I guess she's not really a baby anymore, eh. ^-^

I updated a few things on the website this last few days:
- Concert schedule information added for both Fukuyama-san and Aso-san
- I changed the appearance of the lyrics/translation page for "hachigatsu muika", adding a picture and making it more readable
- still slowly adding to the Japan trip report
- oh... and in case you didn't see it already, Fukuyama-san has a new solo album coming out in July!

Sakura-Con, the Northwest United State's largest anime convention, is coming up April 23-25. This year we are expecting well over 4,000 people!

Check out the website at www.sakuracon.org

I work on Sakura-Con's staff as the Volunteer Coordinator. That means that until the 26th I am extremely busy. I'll try to get an update or two done to my site before then, but no promises, eh. ^-^

Till next time... peace

It's Spring! ^-^

It's been a fun week... work, broken toilets, bills, etc.

However, today I have no work, no major errands, and it's beautiful outside! We have several trees in our yard, all of them in some stage of bloom: cherry, plum, apricot, apple, pear, quince. Even hayfever can't dampen my spirits today! \(^-^)/

I'm going to try to get a couple updates done on the site this morning. After that, the kids and I are going to a park. It's too nice to stay cooped up inside.

peace
