Glenn's Boat Email

I should have mentioned yesterday that now that Glenn is on cruise, his hotmail or "beach" email addresses won't work. You can email Glenn at

Glenn.Smith@cvw5.navy.mil.

They are still working out all the email issues and severs so if he doesn't respond in a day or so, I'd email him again. Emails tend to go missing during this time frame. He seems to be getting settled and they are doing their "CQ"- carrier qualification- over the next couple days which means some late night flying.

In other news, congrats to our Navy friends, Chris and Marcy, on the birth of baby Isabel Susan! Born on 6/14, 8 lb 4 oz, 21.8 inches long! Congrats!

Chigiri-e

On Thursday I went to a class at the Art Center on base to learn a traditional Japanese art called Chigiri-e. It uses washi paper (think soft tissue paper) and glue mostly. The teacher had different patterns we could follow and I chose to do the fish. The finally result ends up looking more like a watercolor painting, but it is really small pieces of torn paper. It took me about 3 hours to make and it's not the greatest, but it was fun. I might go back next month and make another one.
