I sent the camera in for repairs before the warranty runs out but I think that I have enough pictures to interest most of you who read this.  January was birthday month.  Yuki, Michiko and Mayu all had birthdays this month as did our friend Sayochan and of course Dad's birthday was in January too. 

I did some investigative reporting again to bring you a page on one of Japan's favourite pastimes - Pachinko.

Oh yeah these are probably old movies to you guys over in Canada but Yuki and I lucked out and rented 2 really good movies - Hearts of Atlantis and Beautiful Mind.  Mom you would enjoy them too!!
