The Snow is starting to fall

I am sitting in a Starbucks in Factoria waiting for Emili. She is taking Japanese classes at the college formerly known as BCC. Now it is just BC. She is old enough to drive, and she even has her license, but she doesn't have a car yet. I suppose I could just let her use mine.

While I'm waiting I can work, surf the web, or just listen to music so it's not too much of a hardship.

We are expected to get up to 6 inches of snow tonight. (End of February surprise!) I these days of internet connections and VPN there isn't any snow day for me or Midori, but at least we can work in our pajamas if we want.

I have not updated this blog in quite a while so here goes.

As you can tell from a previous post we spent Christmas and New Year in Tokyo again this year. We had a great time and did some touristy things we hadn't done since Emili was little. I will post some pictures later.

Next month, Emili turns 17. WHAT?!? Yep. She isn't currently in any shows but she is participating in a workshop putting together a play or something like it for a couple of other theatre groups in South Africa and North Carolina. She is getting the opportuniny to participate in it using one of her other talents: writing.

I continue to work for www.drugstore.com and Midori is working for KPMG still though her role has changed. She now works almost completely from home.
