Nephew FF's paternal Grandma is 1/2 Japanese, so he is 8th Japanese. I love these photos and LOVE YOUR blog. It is honest and refreshing and interesting. You have some nice clobber and stay in some luxe places but that's not why I check it out- I like the stuff you say- we are not the same age and we work in different industries (Cotton WORKS for a living in egineering/mining People) and have different looks clothes wise, but I like the way you are family and friend focussed and I like how funny you are.
