Hello, how’s it going?
Today the kids and my wife have been struggling with jet-lag. For the past month or so they have been in Japan, which is 14-hours ahead of Texas so it’s quite a severe time-difference! My youngest son didn’t sleep a wink last night, but took a long nap this afternoon, and in the photo above you can see my oldest son sleeping at around 5pm. We had to wake him for dinner. 😴
But my sleep schedule was affected immediately by them being home, and I stayed up til 1 AM the night they arrived, and then tonight I am up way past my usual bedtime again… which leads me to believe that jet-lag is highly contagious! 😝

こんばんは！Hello, how’s it going?
Today my wife and kids returned from Japan! And when they got back to the house they were hungry, so I broke out the Jamaican patties that I brought back from Miami on Sunday. The patties were delicious. 😄
It’s very late now, but I think Mariko and the kids will be up super-late because of jet-lag. I, on the other hand, need to sleep… 😴

Today I worked from home and I got a lot done! It’s funny but I thought I was more productive in the office, but I was cranking away at home from 7:30 AM all the way til 4:30 PM! Well, except when the cats came into the office and shut my laptop, the proceeded to lie on top of it! 😸 I guess they wanted me to take a break and give them some attention.
Tomorrow night my family returns home from their long stay in Japan, so I did a lot of clean-up around the house. Actually, the house isn’t messy but I vacuumed and gathered up all the socks that are strewn about the floors by the cats. They love to grab socks out of the clothes baskets.
I’m looking forward to having my family back at home. For the past week I have been with a massive family at the reunion, so when I came home to an empty house (besides the animals), it was a little shock. It’ll sure be nice to get back to normal life again. 😄

It’s my second day back from vacation and I am back in the swing of things. I’ve also been going through my vacation photos and having fun picking out my favorites and editing them.
505 photos made it back to my hard drive, and maybe 10 of those were joke photos when my brother hijacked my camera as I took an afternoon nap. At first I thought that was a lot of photos for a vacation, but then I figured that there were a few events where I was taking lots of photos that I knew are bound for our family’s Facebook page. It was more like I was doing event photography rather than travel photography! Fun stuff. 😃
When I am taking photos, I will do a lot of culling in-camera. In a series of photos of a scene, there is going to be one that is the best. I’ll find that one, and delete the rest. Sometimes I may keep the two best ones, but I try to keep it down to one. I don’t like having all the duplicates!
I have to say, my Fujifilm X100T proves itself to me each time I use it. It is so versatile. At the events, it was discreet, quiet, and quick. At the beach, the Velvia film simulation made the colors pop. And I got several comments about how cool-looking a camera it is. Lots of people thought it was an old film camera. And a few even wanted to try taking photos with it! I never got those kinds of comments while using a dSLR.
And of course, the HUGE benefit of the X100-series cameras is their size/weight. It is small and light enough that I was able to hit the dance floor with the shoulder-strap across my body! 💃
Anyways, if you already have one of these amazing cameras, well, I’m preaching to the choir, aren’t I? But if you are curious at all about the X100-series cameras, rush down to the camera shop and try one out!

こんばんは！Hello, how’s it going?
Well, I’m back at home (arrived this morning at 1 AM) and back in the swing of things. That means I am back to work and also I have a few days of just myself and my three girlfriends. In the photo above, you can see one of them playing with my shoe. I think the shoe will be okay – Converse hold up pretty well against cat claws… so far at least! 😾
It’s funny, but I’ve only been gone a week and the kittens have grown so much! They look like small cats, not kittens anymore. 😵
While I was on vacation for the past week, I didn’t have time to keep up with my daily blog posts. Most of the days when I returned to my cabin on the ship or to the bed at our guest house, I was too tired from drinking and partying with the family. 🎉🍹 However, I did take plenty of photos. 📷 Now I need to go back and write those posts, which I will back-date.
I’m not sure how they will appear in rss feeds, but at least they will be ordered correctly here on my blog. But, just so you know, the blog posts from July 24-31, 2016 will be back-dated. 📆
I hope you had a nice Monday… at least as nice as Mondays can be. 😜
おやすみなさい！

My camera & photos
I use a Fujifilm X-series camera for most of the photos on this site and my Instagram. Why not pick one up for yourself?
