Hahahahahhahahah!

It's all clear to me now.

There is talk we may have one more bout of snow in a couple of days, but Spring is officially in the house:









And the cool thing is that only about 35% of the buds on these trees have bloomed so far. It is going to be a bumper year for sakura.

Hai.

Gad, maybe they do......maybe they do.

We went out to the city park to have dinner under the cherry blossoms but it was friggin' cold. Down south of us, Aso (pronounced the way you think it shouldn't ever be) has snow.

Blizzards dominate cold.

Furthermore, as the midwest goes, I am in the thinking process on how to move back to the States and wonder aloud and often if my wife would miss the mountains.

The answer is always "no way."

For 18 years, Japan has been berri berri good to me, but I need to get away to have something to look forward to coming back to.

Hai, my neighborhood is Heaven. I am two kilometers from the Kirin brewery and my bath water is your imported beer. This is, in fact, the neighborhood on Kyushu that seems to keep poppin' up with the oldest people in the world.

Blah blah bl bl bl blah blah.......I am drinking a three dollar bottle of Japanese wine and, dammit, I must have a good picture around here somewherez:



So.........I am thinking.........I might be able to reproduce the beach.

And my wife gives this thoughtful backing:



As far as combining white legs with pajamas and beer in a downtown park......



I am comfortable with moving the pajamas to more private surroundings and trading the beer for a morning martini:



But I am concerned about the following in the States:



Do they still allow me to firedance downtown?


I am soooo out of the loop.

Cherry blossom report:

The trees have reached 50% EV.

We headed out last night for dinner under the trees, but it was much too brisk.



We returned this afternoon and the weather was much more agreeable.

Although the trees look very dense from a distance,



closer inspection shows they still have a ways to go despite the impressive appearance:



All in all, it continues to shape up as a very decent Spring.
