Well, THAT year didn't last long, did it? I mean,
it was the regulation size and all, but it didn't exactly pull up a chair,
kick off the shoes and chat awhile over a cup of coffee and jam toast now,
did it? Instead, it seemed to always want to be somewhere other than where
it was, and be making enough racket getting there for six years. If you
happened to be nearby when it passed through, you could end up with jam
on the carpet and coffee in your lap, wondering why the government doesn't
do something about it. |

Yoko took a short maternity leave from P&G to
have Michelle. Michelle was born at our house, delivered by the same midwife
who delivered Brian. It was a quick and easy birth, but one that often seemed
like a three-stooges comedy sketch. |

When not defending his morning cup of coffee from
certain predatory female members of the household, Steve
was exploring new job territories in search of work that could be performed
one handed with a baby on his lap. Many of his 1996 projects can be found
on the family's kyomedia web site. |

Calvin's interests in bugs, animals and dinosaurs
continue unabated. Calvin (6) will be going to elementary school in April,
but already knows how to read and write the hiragana and katakana syllabaries.
School should be a cinch for this kid. |

Brian (4) is still fascinated by trains and has added
considerably to his collection of Thomas the Tank Engine toys. He and Calvin
still talk to each other in English, though his English vocabulary often
often seems to consist mainly of the names of the various Thomas engines
and cars. |
