Somewhere between Tokyo and Home
It’s raining tonight. It was raining when we left Yokohama too. And somehow, it feels like the weather followed me home. Now that I think about it, it almost always rains when we go there.

Happy 25th Anniversary “Ever After”!
One of my favorite movies of all time, Ever After: A Cinderella Story, turns 25 years this year! I cannot believe it has been that long, as I watch it every year or so just to relive the marvelous story of Danielle de Barbarac (played by my favorite actress Drew Barrymore who by the way,… Continue reading
