Bowling

I've started bowling again.
There's a bowling alley down the street, so I thought I'd go and check out what kinds of leagues they have. I decided on the Monday night singles league. Best part, they had shoes my size. I bought my own bowling shoes. I've never actually had brand spanking new bowling shoes before so it's a good feeling. Never mind that I bought the cheapest ones I could find. That and I got hooked up with a used ball they had in the back. They even filled and drilled some new holes for me. Now, I've just got to work on my form. God, it's ugly. UGLY! But it's something that'll take time.
Sometimes Rose and Nao come to watch. Rose is the best cheerleader ever. She cheers eveything! GO, GO, Daddy, GO!!!

Day at the Park

Wow. Having Rose means going to the park. Alot. So on Saturdays and Sundays when it's nice out we head to the park for about an hour or two. She loves though, cause it's a great chance for her to run around in the grass. Nao tried throwing the frisbee around, but it was more of a boomerang! She'd whip it around and it would go in a big circle land a couple of feet from her and then roll on its side towards her. I told she didn't even need me around to play frisbee!

We've got a pretty good size yard around our house, but as anyone who's been here will know it's more of a controlled jungle than an actual yard. I'd love to tear everything out and plant some grass seed. But that's on my to do list I guess. I should wait til winter so that everything will die out and then I don't have to worry about the freaky bugs that are living around our place. I swear, sometimes you see some weird stuff out there that makes you feel like you're in that scene from Temple of Doom, the big freaky bug room!

First Post in New Blog

Well, at the end of the year my old blog site will cease to offer services for free. And that's what I'm all about free services!! So I've moved here to this spot. I'm listening to the car guys on a lazy Saturday morning. But the yard beckons to be cut. Nao and Rose haven't woken up yet and it's still and quiet. The only noise other than the radio is the crows calling outside.

I'll be basically doing the same thing as the last blog. Talking about Rose, Rose, and more Rose!
Oh, and other stuff about life in Japan!

Here's a photo of us at the waterfall in Nikko a couple of weeks ago!
