Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
For some reason there are wild turkeys living in the community that my parents live. You often hear them gobbling super loud but are usually hidden in the bushes or somewhere out of sight. The other day while I was cleaning out the garage I spotted some. Too bad there is no zoom on my camera but you get the picture. They are big and actually quite beautiful. Definitely something you don’t see in Hong Kong. You’d be hard pressed to find frozen turkey.

Still catching up on blogs here. Since Martin doesn’t want his blog to turn into a baby blog. I’ll brag about little baby Eloise for him. It was awesome to be in LA and get a chance to see the first Giant Ronot baby. So cute and she has gray eyes. I wonder when they will turn brown? Here’s a pic of Martin breast feeding. He says his nipples are getting really raw. I suggested he rub some chapstick on them. Later that night I came back and snuck Martin out of the house for a quick run to Glendora and the Donut Man. I’d been reading and hearing about the donut man for way too long not to try one on this trip to LA.Maybe Martin got scolded when he got back but it was worth it.

That's cousin Michelle with Sofia or is it Sophia with boxing gloves. You won't see babies here too often, but this one was funny. What's up with the boxing gloves? Also is she going to be called Sofie as a nickname?
baby coma - sleepy sleep - yes, I'm lame enough to have timed it with an intriguing image on the TV set. What does it mean?

That’s cousin Michelle with Sofia or is it Sophia with boxing gloves. You won’t see babies here too often, but this one was funny. What’s up with the boxing gloves? Also is she going to be called Sofie as a nickname? baby coma – sleepy sleep – yes, I’m lame enough to have timed it with an intriguing image on the TV set. What does it mean? food coma – sleepy sleep. That piece of stained glass is from way way back in my life. My mom got into stained glass, and it’s really expensive to get it custom made, so she found a hobbyist who did it on the side for fun. So she had him make a bunch of pieces and they look good to me. How did my mom know that whales would be so cool more than 20 years later? That’s Eugenia sitting in some yoga pose. I’ve seen the fighter Rickson Gracie do this move on the beach. That’s cousin Jon. He won a tennis tournament today. Kind of a piece of shit trophy for playing a bunch of matches in near 100 degree heat in the San Fernando Valley. Jon’s shirt is super loud, isn’t it? Why are some articles of clothing that’s tennis related so weird looking? I can’t see this as being the cool vintage re-release in 15 years. His hat isn’t that cool either. Jon’s the type of guy who just wouldn’t care that much, since he’s the guy with the trophy and the national ranking. If you give him some wood, he’ll build you a cabinet.
