Tokyo, 2009.01.01

Hello, 2009! Curious, when you've got a small baby to take care of you don't wake up with a hangover....

And thus concludes 2008. Without a doubt the strangest and most amazing year of my life. I owe it all to my darling Mari-chan.

The family got together again for New Year's day. I showed the kids the LEGO designs I've been working on. Yu-kun, the eldest of the four boys in the family, liked the fighter-bomber. Ki-kun, second oldest, liked the science/exploration craft. When I get the designs to my liking I'll send 'em each the kit they chose. How insanely great is it that I've got a tool to design LEGO kits at the same time that I've got two young nephews!
