 About me
     I am Ike (sounds 'EE-KAY'). If you call me 'AYE-CK', I may look at and smile at you. In Japan, people usually call last names to each other (and Ike comes from a part of my family name, Ikejiri!). My name spells 池尻武仁 in Japanese, and Ike (池) literally means a 'pond' (or a small lake). I moved from Nagoya, Japan to the States – to study dinosaur and other fossils (i.e., paleontology) in the winter of 1997. Since then, I had lived in Colorado, Kansas, Wyoming, and Michigan in this order. I have nested in Alabama since the fall of 2010  – and my journey to the mysteries in the fossil record has been continuing!
