This is a test...

With 4 days remaining until my departure for Japan, I thought it time I put together a blog in order to share some stories, pictures, and perhaps videos with friends and family.

Currently, I don't have much to share.  Last Thursday I visited the aquarium in Seattle.



I'm also working on a little bit of packing.  I'm beginning to pile up the stuff on my list in a corner of the house.  After I have everything on my list, I will discover that it doesn't fit in the bag I have selected.  The next step will be to start thinking deeply about whether or not I actually need my Japanese language textbooks and snowboard goggles.
