Mai
This one isn’t about bikes, but I wanted to tell the world: Mai is here!
My second daughter was born Saturday night here in our living room in Kawasaki while it snowed outside, with Daddy and her big sister helping. I wrote up a full report of the birth (in English and Japanese) on what up until now has been Lin’s photoblog, but is now the sisters’ blog.
Welcome to the world, Mai. It can be an amazing place, and it’s even better with you in it.
Awww… Mai and Lin are sooo cute together.
Congratulations, Dai-chan! (Or are you Dai-san now?)

Aaron!
I haven’t been Dai-chan since the 80′s. Damn, we’re old.
Great to hear from you. What are you up to these days?

Thanks, Gary.

[...] With a baby in the house, I haven’t been able to do much touring this year, but until today I still got to experience the joy of riding every day. I’m not sure how I’ll handle the stress of a new job without that daily adrenaline fix. [...]
