What you are about to see is a whole lot of photographs (some of them outstanding) chronicling our lives from past to present to maybe even the future (how the heck do we do that? - wait and see).

In the beginning the photo album may not be that large. Don't despair! As time passes, it will probably expand beyond the pages of this book.

Most of the photos you will be viewing are going to have been taken in Japan. Japan is a wonderful and sometimes very weird place. The old, traditional Japan is so intermixed with the new, sprawling, ultra-fast paced Japan that there is absolutely no possible way to look at just one aspect of the country alone without seeing remnants of the other. Attempting to do so would most likely cause one to go running naked into the mountains, screaming insanely and never seen again except in myths and fables told to young children.

Important Note to Netscape Users:

It has come to our attention that when On The Coffee Table is viewed through Netscape Navigator, it does not appear as it should. Users should see a ringed-binder sitting on a wooden background that contains either text or photos. Netscape users will see ringed-binders inside ringed-binders when viewing this page. This will cause the page to look cluttered and difficult to read. We don't know why Netscape does not view it correctly.
