There are a few posts that are useful in this About category. Everybody Loves the Sunshine, wherein I discuss a bit of my childhood and our autumn activities in Isobe-cho. Living in a foreign country has inspired much emotional turmoil on my part, and it is something I have tried to be open about, To be Wrinkly…Utterly Wrinkly touches on that. We decided in April ‘06 that our next destination would be Portland, Oregon, Long and Winding Road is a fun post detailng our first visit there in April ‘05.
I took a 6 month web-writing break in late 2005, Silent All These Years helps to fill in the cracks of what was happening during that time. I am rather passionate about this mothering gig and Playing the God in Me has some of my musings on the subject. The video accompaning that post is called Fuyu, produced by my talented Husband. This website was created as a sort of art project between Justin and I, as a means to chronicle the incredible experience of living abroad and to keep in touch with family and friends. I am grateful for all the kind feedback we have received on the project and am hoping that it can continue to grow and change as we travel along future paths.
We may just bump into each other, here are ways to spot us. I like to travel with a banana in my purse, just in case anyone gets hungry. It usually ends up smashed and oozes goo all over my notebook and current knitting project, which are also necessary purse components. My son likes to carry his own handbag, usually containing Lady train, a helicopter, and the little green truck with ‘Country’ emblazoned on the hood. My husband prefers to fill his satchel with his camera, sound recording equipment, and a hanky. We trade off carrying the two liter bottle of water and packs of calorie mate. Our traveling bases are thusly covered.
I send out website updates through e-mail, if you want to be on the list shoot me a line at gemmatmetz@yahoo.com

My real name is Gemma, but if you prefer to call me by my web moniker, please do so with a country twang. It was a nickname conceived with that in mind after all.
If you say Gembob with the right kind of inflection, you will begin to smell hamburger gravy over mashed potatoes and there may or may not be some American cheese melted over the top.
