Daisuke Matsusaka

I got the chance to see the famous Japanese picture Daisuke Matsusaka (松坂 大輔) who won the game for the Boston Redsox. As someone who grew up an Orioles fan I was cheering for the Orioles but even though the game was played in Baltimore, there were a lot more Redsox fans than O's fans. If you click on Daisuke's picture you will see all the pictures I took while at the game.

Well, the Redsox and the Orioles are finished for the season. A Redsox and Orioles fan would agree, as long as the New York Yankees don't win the World Series this year we will be satisfied.

If you comedown to Baltimore in the summer, you have to check out the Orioles stadium, it's one of the best in the country.

Postcards are a great way to communicate with a pen pal. My friend Dr. Meguro sent me this postcard a few years ago. If you would like a postcard from Washington D.C. area send me an email!

Lobstah!


Lobstah!

I went to New England for a nice long (but not long enough) vacation with the wife. We visited my sister and her husband Morgan (on the right) and they were nice enough to buy a bag full of lobsters. I love lobster (Pronounced "lobstah" in that neck of the woods.), and in Maine, it's only $4 a pound off-season!
