i found this photo in my iphoto as i was deleting files. i took this 2 years ago at the barrels cup in shizuoka. this is what parenting is all about….

and i took this photo a few days ago. they don’t call japan the “Land of the Rising Sun” for nothing. imagine seeing something like this? and to think, i’ve been seeing it every morning for the past week. this is one of the reasons i’ve been waking up at 4am. what a way to start off the day!!!
**hey, can somebody tell me who Sally Fitzgibbons is? my sister is trying to put together a japan trip with kelia moniz and Sally Fitzgibbons. they were hanging out together in hawaii and she’s supposed to be the next rising star. i haven’t heard of her before so somebody please tell me…. mahalo.

**and last, i got an email from this kid from germany that’s trying to get in touch with seth moniz. seth, read this and send me a response. then i’ll make this kids day. mahalo…
