I wasn’t going to write anything for the anniversary of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster that struck Japan exactly two years ago. But then I realized that It’s important to write and talk about it. If for no other reason than to make sure those who are still building their lives back up are […]

Before I get into this Cocktail Friday post, I have to say that I am humbled at the response to Set the Table. It is amazing knowing how many of you stuck around while I sorted things out. Between moving away from Japan, moving into and renovating a house, and everything that goes along with […]

August 30, 2012
