Anthony's debut @ the Varsity Theater
What a showboat he is! Surely destined to be famous...

I like this one - a moment candidly captured

...it was a good time had by all...

looking fwd to more hangouts w/ these two :)

Swell job Anthony! Where's the next gig?

This is the last picture of me w/ brown hair for awhile.

I just went back to blonde today.

Women are so indecisive ;)

I'm lucky to have such great neighbors!

And the guy below...well, I'm pretty lucky to have him too!

a break...

its spring break and i haven't much to do.

many friends are traveling to exotic locations,

while i sit here trying to ration my funds so i can survive another year of grad school.

i had big dreams to visit my friends in japan for a few weeks this summer,

but that possibility seems to be dimming.

suppose no one ever gets rich going to grad school huh?

looks like the agenda for the

next 5 days is nothing more than good old rest and relaxation -minnesota-style.time with family

time with neighbors

time with friends

...guess life isn't that bad after all...

?!?! cold, hot, cold, hot ?!?!

More snow! Last week brought about 14 inches of snow! My mom and I have been cross country skiing a few times this week. The weather has been really beautiful - a little chilly, but brite sunny skies. I think this might be the last of Minnesota's winter this year...so I am trying to enjoy what's left of it.
I heard Taneichi has enjoyed the mildest of winters. No need for kerosene heaters or electric blankets. In fact, they haven't had any snow at all. I am jealous,..my experience last winter was unforgettably frigid - with several snow storms and a lifetime intake of carcinogenic kerosene gas. In experiencing these effects of global warming - it really makes me wonder what this world is coming to...? I just rented the documentary film of the year "An Inconvenient Truth" --and am anxious to hear what all the fuss is about...
