Minami's latest "boolean" water painting.

I think this one started out as frogs but then went abstract. Usually Minami will have paint left over but this time her pallette was bone dry from her usage.

Colburn

Minami and mama.

Cordillera Elementary in Mission Viejo - my old stomping grounds

Minami is standing where I used to go to elementary school, Cordillera Elementary in the MV.

Downtown LA market

Colburn music school, downtown LA market, California Science Center, Emperor Noodle in San Gabriel, collapse at home.

Father's day surf and turf at my sister's house.

A nice chill at my sister's suburbia home: nice view, bonfire, surf & turf, and I still hold the title as the youngest father.

The Heifetz Studio dog is back at the Colburn School!

Minami is happy now that her music school mascot is back with the hole in its head repaired. Case closed.

Mee-nah-mee

Thank you. Finally a teacher that can pronounce Minami's name properly.

Another Minami original painting

Again I find there's something "enlightened" about Minami's paintings.

"It'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night... mostly"

Some people sing lullabies to their kids in bed, I reenact scenes from the movie ALIENS.

Facehugger (a bedtime lullaby)

A Vine beginning

I like Vine now that it's on Android but it lacks some iOS features and it really drags down my (Note 2) phone's performance.

Umeboshi (Japanese preserved sour plum)

99 (Ranch) backwards

Nothing is sacred

Takenoko sembei (bamboo shoot rice cracker)

I don't if I've had takenoko sembei (bamboo shoot rice cracker) before but the taste is very subtle - the sugar crystals are the strongest taste.

Minami's mask painting

Minami painted a mask today, then painted the face outlined under the mask. I see somekind of a wiseman or shaman in there.

Vincent Lugo Park - dragon slides

Pants may've been the better choice for these outdoor slides - Minami's dress just got bunched up and prevented a smooth ride down.

Mango snowy - maybe the large was too large?

Snowy dessert seems well suited for dry hot days like today. The Taiwanese got it right.

All these cool things to play with and Minami would rather play in the dirt.

While Vincent Lugo Park is kind of cool with its concrete playground, I'm only here because it's close to Lucious Dumplings.

Colburn quiet - school is on break but we have a make-up class.

I like it when there is less people - allows me a quiet moment to appreciate the design of a space.
