We filed these posts under the category of A FilesHere’s where Andreas puts the “A” in The A-Z Files. Zee takes no responsibility for the posts in this category.  When someone meets our daughters for the first time, the No. 1 question is always, "How old are they?" Somewhere on the journey from childhood to adulthood, however, this question about age goes from most important to among the least important. [more]
» See full post: Age is everything for kids but means nothing for adults  I know there are cat people and there are dog people. But can you go from being one type to the other? That's what I did, I think. [more]

When I grew up in Sweden, Halloween and Thanksgiving were nothing more than a couple of small annotations on the calendar so for me, these two holidays don't conjure up any childhood memories. [more]

As a matter of fact, most people I talk to crinkle their nose and look at me in disbelief when I tell them about my affinity for adding fruit to food. Is it just me? Am I the only one who likes fruit in my food? [more]

Character, on the other hand, has nothing to do with genes. It's learned. Here's a list of five things that are part of my character that I'd rather not pass on to our kids. [more]
» See full post: Five things I don't want them to learn from me  I know there are guidelines that dictate how guys should greet each other in the men's room — a wordless nod and that's it — but I've never come across any waving guidelines for men. My brother-in-law authored such guidelines via text message after a waving incident on the road last week. They're pretty good. [more]

It also made me think about how I use my phone, though, and I realized I don't really need much. As a matter of fact, if I don't count the telephone function as an app, I can easily list five essential apps. [more]
» See full post: My five favorite iPhone apps  We're having a lot of picnics nowadays. Today, we decided to have a beach picnic and drove out to one of the Ko Olina lagoons for an early dinner. Most of our picnics take place in our neighborhood park. After today's beach picnic, though, I was thinking that maybe we should go beyond the park setting more often. What are some good picnic spots here on O'ahu? Do you have a personal favorite? [more]
