Yes, I noticed his elegant black vest as well. It just wasn't quite as stunning as the purple cummerbund!

(I figured that's what they were.)

Trying to persuade Caya to come over for pets. The Hubby took Cooper for a run and Caya is sitting by the door waiting for them to come back. If I hadnot just come back from a walk with Lucas I would take the two of them out. Caya is a sniffer and tends to lag behind on walks. Cooper always wants to go faster so he is better or running.

Doing a little happy dance.

Amazon now seems to be planning to open their Dutch website in October (first it was supposed to be happening before the summer and a couple of months ago they were aiming for September but admitted it might be delayed). They're now negotiating with the biggest book distributor of the Netherlands to get Dutch books.

I'm so glad Bol.com is getting some competition; their customer service has declined during the last couple of years so Amazon will be a great alternative.

As I was going to St. Ives I met a man with seven...
Actually, as I was going to Osaka Castle, I met a man with a hawk. This day's walk started out in bright sunshine, right up until I passed over the moat that separates Osaka Business Park with the castle grounds. Then the skies turned almost black! But as it wasn't raining I kept on walking, met the man with his hawk, took a stroll around the castle grounds, and headed back towards the station. The first drops fell just as I passed through the gates! Perfect timing!

I did a lot of work for her back in my 20's, helping on reforestation programs planting trees, and trail crew work on the Appalachian Trail. She's just paying me back.

She's wonderful when treated with respect. Disrespect her and watch out.

I love the juxtaposition of modern skyscraper and traditional pagoda. Great pics.

In this case they are separated by a wide moat, but it's VERY common to see them side by side when walking down the street. 50 story office building 3 meters away from an ancient temple, then another sky scraper on the other side. You see this in every city and town in Japan. Frankly, it's SO common that I haven't even taken any photos of it! This is something that I walk past every day and no longer even notice. I just went through all my Japan photos and didn't find a single one! The closest I came was this shot of a temple complex in a residential neighborhood! I guess I need to pay more attention to my everyday surroundings!

Congrats on your Karma Total. It is well deserved.

Cleaning up my bedroom. Got rid of all those electronic boxes that seem to accumulate over time. I also found a pair of Crocs clogs I had forgotten I had, which will save me money because I had planned on ordering an extra pair soon.

Feeding the baby. He has gotten better about breast feeding, which is nice. I feel better with him suckling for 10-15 minutes at least twice a day. He still goes through 4-6 ounces of formula each meal.

When you say fighting, you mean losing.

I made a chicken pot pie this afternoon, and I had so much filling left over that I made up another batch of piecrust and made some individual pot pies in a cast iron biscuit pan. They're pretty cute! It's rainy today here -- a good day for comfort food.
