This is a collection of old posts and unfinished sections of my blog. I was going to delete a lot of this information as much of it is no longer relevant. Then I realize a lot of this is part of our family history and decided to keep it for our kids. Then they can look back at what brought us to where we are today.
Thoughts

When I began making this blog, I really had no idea which direction it would take. Over the years, me and my family changed residences five times, including three international moves. Each move involved taking chances, making changes, and trying to be happy. Those years were trying times for my family to say the least. During those years a lot was going on with us and around The World. I posted quite a bit and now some of those posts are no longer relevant. I decided to keep those posts, and simply archive them, in order for our kids to have a bit of history of what we went through and what was on our minds during those times.

We spent three years up in our Tanegashima mountain removing trees, making a farm, and opening up a space to build a cabin, only to move to a new home in another part of Japan. I decided to keep this information for our kids to remember the difficulties and fun we had up there. Much of the information has been written in the Story pages but the basic idea of what we had planned to do is on these pages.

Comedy

I decided to make this section for a number of reasons the least of which is the importance of laughter. We focused on a lot of comedy as 2020 quickly turned into a nightmare thanks to Covid-19. We threw ourselves into isolation which meant no visits our favorite beaches, very few house parties with friends, and pretty much every event on the island being cancelled. Needless to say, we needed something to laugh at....every day.

Music

I guess you could say we are a pretty musical family. From Jpop to Kpop to Bollywood to Classical to Jazz to good ole Rock and Roll, we pretty much listen to it all. I planned to pt much more on these pages but became way too busy at our new home. Anyway, this is a small sample of the music I like to listen to.
