laugh, love, and eat an onigiri everyday.
I love the little summaries WordPress prepares for its blogs every year. Here's mine! The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog. Here's an excerpt: A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 6,200 times in 2014. If it were a NYC subway train, …

Actor and comedian Seth Rogen appeared before a congressional panel to talk about how his mother-in-law battles Alzheimer's. I'm a fan of Seth and his inappropriately funny movies, and this congressional address made me even more of a fan. Good for you, Seth! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHqx3-mfHAY My grandparents played a huge part in raising me. I was …
For the 3rd gathering of our ATC gathering we met at my friend Marian's house. Marian goes to church with us and interestingly, her family's house was used in a Kelly Clarkson video a few years back. We watched the music video while we sat in her living room! I used my pyrography pen (again) …

I saw it on a whole new level... FIELD LEVEL. When I was a kid, my dad, my uncle Ronnie, and my grandpa used to take me and my cousins to Dodger games. My grandpa seemed to really like watching baseball. We'd all put on our blue Dodger jackets and hats, then head to Dodger …
We took a trip up north this past weekend to run Bay to Breakers, but the day before we had some time to stop by at Maker Faire in San Mateo... a fetival/fair with all these innovations/inventions. Let me tell you... this place is crazy nerd central (aka, pretty cool). If you're an engineer or …
A lesson from an old oak. I was at a Come Away retreat put on by the Leadership Institute a few months ago, and Alan Fadling directed us to Isaiah 61: “The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent …
