What's New?

It's about time I updated this site. That last silly
entry was made after
partying a bit a Dori's gorgeous house near West
Hollywood. So, yes,
Dori, Tiffers and I still have a lot of fun -- though I
don't know why
Dori said in her entry that she might see me too
much??? Maybe I
ought to get out of her pool when she goes to sleep at
night -- just
kidding. Besides hanging out, I work at JPL as a
science writer in the
media office. I write about astronomy for the public,
on topics ranging
from comets to faraway galaxies. It's a lot of fun. I
also roller skate and
do karaoke, and recently completed a drawing class. My
boy friend is a
really funny guy named Mike Romo. He has a job at a
computer
company, but his true passion is acting. He has done
several funny commercials, and has even done a public
service piece with Jessica Biel!
Hope to see you all at the next reunion.

What's New?

Well, I graduated from college after they threatened to
throw me out for having too many credits. I ended up
with two BS degrees from the U of Washington. I spent
a few months at Amazon.com playing at being a sysadmin
but it wasn't for me. From there I moved to the field
of genetics which worked much better, especially
because I became somewhat of an expert at tweaking all
the UNIX bioinformatics tools. About six years ago I
asked my stepfather to legally adopt me, which he did.
That's when my last name changed to Kurihara. A
little over two years ago I met a wonderful man, within
a few months we were sure about each other. We moved
in together, got engaged, and in July of last year we
were married. I didn't want to give up my dad's name so
I just took my husbands and added it on to the end.
Complex but I wanted to honor my father. In truth
though,I've never been happier.

What's New?

Well, I'm still in San Diego and flying helicopters
for the Navy. I'm currently a Department Head at a
carrier based squadron, HELSEACOMBATRON 8. I joined
the Navy because I wasn't ready to grow up and get a
real job after finishing college and I didn't want to
continue with higher education. I quickly found out
that being a pilot qualified as a real job and my
lofty goal of avoiding further education was futile.
I ended up enduring 2 years of flight school, 6 years
of advanced tactics, systems, and procedural training,
a masters degree, Joint Professional Military
Education Phase 1 and getting qualified to drive a
warship as Officer of the Deck. I have a feeling I
got duped by the recruiter. At least flying is fun so
I'm still doing it 12 years later and I ended up with
a career. Who knew? I married my wife, Ashlee, in
2002 and we have three great and wild boys - Maxwell
(4.5), Wyatt (3) and Travis (1.5). They keep us on
the move and run ragged but parenthood is awesome.
We'll be in San Diego until 2012 and then who knows
where the Navy will send us. We're hoping to move to
Europe for a few years so the boys can experience
living abroad but we'll just have to wait and see what
jobs are available. That's all from me so I hope all
is well with everyone and take care.
