Sushi class

JMan and I took a Sushi class today at the Bamboo Restaurant in Westford MA. 


About 16 people attended with 2 Chiefs, 2 translators a few helpers and the restaurant owner.

The head chef explained in Japanese and demonstrated what we were about to do. Then one of the translators repeated in English, then we attempted.


JMan pealing avocado.

Getting some help cutting cucumber.


Rolling up and placing Sushi in tray.


A little help slicing his Sushi.


All cut.


The finished product. All in all it was a lot of fun and the few pieces I sampled were great. JMan asked the manager when the next class will be!

Fishing and other activities 

JMan wanted to get in some fishing today so we hit Forge Pond for a bit. Look at that Irish sky. Might a well be in Hodson Bay with a pint of Arthur.


He didn’t catch anything! I didn’t fish as the last thing I needed was the game warden looking for the permit I don’t have. Kids can fish without one.


Later he caught up on the latest news with fruity concoction from the blender…..I spiked mine as the wind on the pond went through me for a short cut. I must say I’m feeling rather Irish this evening. 

Bubbles on the beach

While at Walden Pond a local showed up and made some of the biggest bubbles we ever saw. 


JMan had a go and did great.


He had a great time chasing all those bubbles.



Paint Ball

I shot some photos at a paint ball birthday party today. It was a lot of fun to get back behind a (real) camera. iPhones are great for snapping the kids and pets but nothing beats a DSLR.
