RED RANGER

Yes, I AM the RED RANGER......You ask why? Being the father of two boys (almost 4 and 6) we watch a lot of Power Rangers. In case you didn't know the Red Ranger is the "head ranger."
I like to think of myself as the "Ranger in charge" of the Griffin clan. This is a scary thought I know, but nontheless I will go with that and run with it, ok?
I also like the Power Rangers, because this show came from Japan. I was born in Japan, and spent most of my childhood there. I always like watching the show (while making fun of it) and seeing the Japanese signs in the background. When they are transformed and in "the ranger mode" often times they are using scenes from the Japanese Rangers. It is really funny, and it amuses me, but Michelle (my wife of almost 12 years) doesn't seem to think it is really a big deal. Whatever floats your boat I say!! I know you are gonna be a better person for having this information.
Well, I am very excited about my yard. My grass is actually green!!!
My dad lives 5 miles away, and his yard is no where near the green color. He is jealous, I know it!! I called him on the way home today, and he said I've gotta go out and water the grass because it is our day we can water. (you gotta hate water restrictions) Of course I said to him, "Oh that is too bad, because I don't have to water the grass. WE GET RAIN. " My parents hate the whole thing that we keep getting rain, and not a drop at their house. I told them (in the great words of Earl from "My name is Earl") It's Karma! I have been a good boy...I get rain...
They were not amused. I thought it was a great, tasteful joke. (NO, I don't believe in Karma!! so don't even email me about that!!!) Well, I am happy that my yard is starting to look good for once. I just need to cut it tonight. I was hoping the yard fairy would come out of the sky and cut away!! This is not happening. Also, in the picture you see my boys Aubrey (AKA The Blue Ranger) & Parker (AKA The Green Ranger) Michelle, better know as our Pink Ranger, is not present in the picture. I have many things to share with my wonderful BLOG audience so please stay tuned. I really want to share about my office. I work in a Japanese office, and boy do we have issues there!! I would like say we are the NBC / Asian version of "THE OFFICE" - which is MY FAVORITE SHOW !!!! YOU GOTTA WATCH THIS SHOW...........Later People!
