Happy New Year!

First of all, Happy New Year to everyone. I hope everyone has had a splendid holiday. Wish I could say mine was exciting, but it was actually quite uneventful because I chose to be lame this year and wanted to spend some time in solitude contemplating life in general. Sorry, no great revelation to share with the rest of the world yet.

One great thing that did occur over the holidays though was a visit from family. I've lived in all kinds of cool places (e.g. Japan, Europe, NYC), and this is the first time they've come to visit. I suppose it doesn't really help tho when I'm not at any of these places for very long. Anyways, so I was really happy that they came and showed them around DC for couple of days. The best part was seeing their smiles. Here's a pic of my nieces that I thought was especially cute:
