If you're going to write the way S.S. Van Dine wrote the Philo Vance mysteries, you have to write sentences like, "This oleaginous hothouse sybarite has some arriere pensee, don't y'know." I'm going to try to start talking this way.

My daughter is coming to visit this weekend! Excited to see her and also she usually brings me a bottle of Suehiro sake from Aizu. #aizu
The only things I can say in Japanese so far: My daughter lives in Fukushima City. She is an English teacher. My wife is a biology professor. What is that building? I like natto. Where is the toilet? I like to shoot film camera photography. I ate an apple.
Got a little pocket sized version of Tagore's Gitanjali so I can carry it around with me like Yeats did. I also carry around a handkerchief and caramels and/or hard candies.
Going to Korea this December and my travel strategy is the same as Japan; send one of my children there beforehand to live there and learn the language. It's better than youtube videos even.
Love to write a Murakami inspied novel in which Kwantung army officer Cap'n Crunch and his mysterious psychic daughter Cinnamon Toast plot to install King Vitamin as emperor of Manchukuo with the help of a horny 70s college student. At some point they all fall into a well.
Sazaedo temple in Aizu. Originally (1796) a buddhist temple with 33 statues of Kannon, in the Meiji it was stripped of those and made a shinto shrine. No photos do it justice. Go there. #aizu #photography
This is a digital (micro4/3) photo from a couple years ago in Aizu, Japan. It's the tomb of the Byakkotai. I was thinking a lot about Aizu today for no real reason. #aizu #photography Might post some more since it's so beautiful there.
I can't tell if I'm really depressed or it's just from eating right and exercising.
Congrats to Aonishiki on his impressive win and sincere love and prayers to the victims of the Kumamoto earthquake. #japan
Mister Rogers's Neighborhood invaded the Neighborhood of Make Believe and established a puppet kingdom, much like Japan did in Manchuria in the 30s.
Movie adaptation of famous poem idea: Man and his apprehensive belled horse try to stay awake and defy death by surreptitiously journeying through the snow-covered deep, dark wooded property of an absentee landlord.
I only know about the soap opera The Secret Storm because it followed Match Game and Johnny Olsen would say, "Stay tuned for The Secret Storm...." Great name though.
I missed posting this on his 40th death annivesary by a week, but here's the Andre the Seal statue in Rockport, ME. #filmphotography ubi sunt, ammirite?
The way I know I have no leadership qualities is I always want strangers to like me.
Ecky thump, Bill Oddie is gone! RIP May he meet the guy who died laughing at the Kung Fu Kapers episode.
I haven't not had a radio show in 23 years, and it's really hard. Feel like a ghost.
Ukranian badass Aonishiki knocks out those ten wins to get back to ozeki! Wow! I don't watch a lot of sumo, but it's hard not to watch this guy. Also, Rick Sellnow MCed a great watching party at Lexington's The Void Sake Sunday. Hats off to those folks!
