We have teamed up with our friends over at Poketo to make an Asian fusion-themed street party in our garden!

A few months back I had arrived at the kitchen around 4 am for reasons explained here. I put on NPR or Sam Cooke, both of those are my favorite morning play lists so either can be heard at that hour when I’m the first to arrive.

A couple weeks ago I was talking with my friend Joy and she said videos are the new photos for blogs. Then Bri said the same thing on her blog here. That’s convincing enough for me, but how the heck do you make a video? I have no idea.
