Welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy your visit. Here are a few quick links to my most popular content:
“Kakuno” Costa Mesa, 2024
Today we visited the Maido stationery shop at Mitsuwa Marketplace in Costa Mesa. They had such a great selection of fountain pens and inks, but I’m proud to say I showed some restraint and didn’t buy anything – I have more than enough pens already! Still, it was fun to browse.

“Book Four” Cedar Park, 2025
I just grabbed book four of Becky Chambers’ Wayfarers series from the library. These books are amazing — I highly recommend them!
“Spaghetti” Cedar Park, 2025
Before heading back to school for the semester, my son requested one more meal: spaghetti and meatballs. It’s been a family favorite for two generations, and I love making it for everyone. I’m glad it’s still a hit!
“Moving Day” Cedar Park, 2025
Bay headed back to school today, making Mariko and me empty-nesters for the next few months! With Koa in California until April, it’s just the two of us for about three months. Missing both of the kids already!
“Kiki” Austin, 2025
With a cold front rolling in this evening, I decided to squeeze in one last warm ride. Kiki and I took the scenic route to Sa-Tén for some quality coffee (try the “Ohayo”!) and Kindle time. It was both relaxing and rejuvenating. I don’t venture out much, but I enjoyed it so much that I’m thinking I should make it a habit.
