Redesign

The obligation of packing begat a new design, one that was partly inspired by our Tokyo trip and my desire to post to something more than a hiatus weblog. Below the photos to the left, you'll find a little travel-themed Maneki Neko -- I'm bringing my theme home with that little guy. The site where I found the Maneki Neko asks that one link to an animal welfare site in exchange for using the image. I'll link to my favorite cause, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. No in your face tactics from this group; instead they take in unwanted and homeless pets and just give them love and care. That's it for tonight. It's 4:00 in the morning and I can't bring myself to go to sleep. Blame it on the nerves and fears that will hopefully be a distant memory as we land safely tomorrow after an eleven hour flight.
