Jet Lag and Erupting Russian Volcanos

This jet lag thing is for real.  Right now it’s 1:45 a.m. in Tokyo and I am ready to go.
So I figured I would blog (and download the iPhone 3.0 update) while Janie sleeps.  Jet lag has no effect on her.  She can fall a sleep any time, any place.

Mickey Mural

I am hoping to get it painted on Sunday evening.  Here are a couple pics of the final sketch.

Ready or Not

The whole situation is surreal.
On Wednesday, Janie and I are getting on a plane and flying to the other side of the world to Taiwan.
There we will meet a man who is going to drive us to the town of Loudong and introduce us to this little guy.
