ISO Photo Mascot

My family just returned home after a week-long visit to Tokyo. It was great to experience Tokyo through their eyes; they noticed more and more "only in Japan" details as their jet-lag wore off, and then of course it was time for them to go home.

One thing that we enjoyed doing was taking photos of a little stuffed bird, as a favor for an elementary school project in my sister's town.

Yes, it's been done before. And yes the garden gnome in Amelie was funnier. And yes I'll have to carry it around where-ever I go. ...

But I'm considering it. Then the blog would be all thematic and stuff. .. & maybe it would help me to post more often.

What would be a good mascot? I wanna keep with the "Trying to make sense of Tokyo" theme. Any ideas??

Hey Lance: I am sure we are all as worn out as you. You were a gracious host for nearly two weeks! The Saturday picnic, group dinner and karaoke were 'just another day in Tokyo!' Your friends are all dynamic young men and women, and is was a very cool meeting all of them.
As far as a mascot theme for your blog, I don't think it needs one. You post when you post..sometimes more than others. That is life. The photos you take, and those of of your friends (and of yourself) having fun, make this blog what it is. Having met most of them, makes it better! Dad
