It's every Southern Californian's dream vacation - a generous bath without the drought police busting down the door. #minami

UCLA vs Stanford... and I have no idea what I'm doing here. Minami will take the stage soon. #minami

Minami is a veteran Din Tai Fung foodie but her grandmother is still a newbie. #minami

Minami getting friendly with the UNIQLO manikin. Actually she's comparing her height in an somewhat inappropriate way. #minami

She is after all Ja-pa-nee-zu as she used to say. #minami

Beware of technology in the hands of a father obsessed with technique - in this case kendo. #minami

From old world Kendo to Hello Kitty Kendo. #minami

No sleep for me last night plus dance class for Minami this morning equals awkwardly zombie-like interactions with the other parents. #minami

This is not Minami's Gokusen cosplay - she is now learning Kendo. She even told me she shouldn't be holding her shinai (practice sword) over her shoulder but I couldn't resist the bad-ass photo op. これは美波のヤンクミハロウィーンコスチュームではありません。美波は剣道を習い始めました。#minami

Bi-Poehler

My wife was joking that Amy Poehler would be at Minami's friend's birthday party & it turned out to be true. BTW I'm a big Parks & Rec fan - glad I came... for Minami of course. #minami #skyguy76 #sse

Note to self

Note to self: teach Minami how to properly skip and gallop. I don't think she has quite grasped the concept. #minami
