OK, so I realize I haven't written anything in nearly 2 months. I blame Facebook completely. I've been so busy getting and receiving Flair, rating movies, and "networking" that I haven't spent any time in the blogosphere. I also blame Netflix, which I joined around the same time. How did I live without it?
Well anyway, while I was in Japan, I left Dennis here with Father James, flown out specially from Ohio, and Koby, to gut and redo the second-floor bathroom. One indicator that I was NOT here for the construction is that I definitely would have taken BEFORE pics to compare with the after ones. No such luck.
Combing through my iPhoto, this is what I came up with: Felix, Rebecca and Koby peering out the door, just enough to reveal the maroon porcelain (tub, sink and toilet), the maroon floor tile, the generic white cabinets, and pink old-lady wall tiles.

The end result is a look I like to call "gay man staying in executive suite at 5-star hotel".

Complete with stone-tiled shower area...

...and a toilet that'll clean you better than you clean yourself.
