I Want to Eat Fugu,But I Don't Want to Die!
 

Well, my sister Kristin gave me
this little 'towtruck"!

We all have stories that are a
little embarrassing. Well, when
I was very young our car broke down on the highway and I thought that the tow truck
would never come!

Hey, I was only about 3.

Don't worry, I will get revenge!

My sister is still over in Japan, but we all hear from her when she gets free. From what I can tell, she seems to be picking up the language very well.

On the right, The names of our family in 'Kanji'. Starting from the top: Roger, Karla, Karen (Isn't that neat that my name is pronounced the same in both English and Japanese), Laura and Kristin!

Brrrrrrrr!
   

I thought this was very spirited!
Here you can see the WSU Cougar
Mascot cheering on the athletes!

Doesn't it look like we are going into an igloo? All I can say is that it was much more comfortable inside!


Thank you for being a part of this K-Mail and I hope you enjoyed our
 little trip to
Washington State University!

In a couple of weeks, we will be traveling to Arkansas for the Tyson
Invitational which has always been a lot of fun and this year should be
no exception! I will - of course - be recommending that we spend a
dining experience at the incomparable '
Marketplace".

If you are a past
reader of k-Mail, you will know that the Marketplace is the home of
the famous
"Cajun Rib eye!"

Here it is just In case you forgot!

Yummy!!!!

Soooo... stay tuned!

Feb. 11 - Tyson Indoor Meet - Fayetteville, AK
