My father's name is David. I'm also David (same name) but with Junior, so that's D.J. - my preference. He's been the Scoutmaster of Troop 13 for some time and I have found that useful through the experiences and trips. He works at Raytheon. He (as did my mother) graduated from Colorado University.

My mother's name is Naomi. She's the Japanese side of the family. With her relatives in Hawaii and Colarado and my dad's in Florida, it makes for some really nice, inexpensive trips. She's obtained her masters degree in Marketing and she's good at English, so I always ask her to proof my papers.

Scott's my younger brother who's always about six years younger than I. Here's a picture of him practicing karate. He won first place in a kata karate contest twice. He likes TV.

She's a short-hair muted calico cat. Sashi is the first cat I ever had. Before we kept our cats indoors, Sashi gave the whole family a scare twice by "spring flinging." This is a term I coined for when she leaves for a few days and after a while decides to come back. We were very fortunate to have her come back to us. One was in the Spring, one in the Fall. Fall Sprawl?

Sumi is the third cat I've had. She has a bad habit of eating the u[i]ned[vit]able (This is a cross between inedible and inevitable). She likes to eat, lick, mutilate, and gnaw on: scotch tape, duct tape, masking tape, ear wax, clear tape, flies, baby oatmeal, plastic, envelopes, graphite, stamps, Post-It Notes, photographs, metal, rubber bands, and paper, paper clips, instruction manuals, NES cartridge containers, and wires (esp. modem and TI links). Sheeeeeeeeesssshhhh!!!!!!
