Living in Hokkaido, we don't feel the need to go anywhere these days. Last December we had to go to Tokyo to have some documents notarized at the US Embassy. That was enough. Tokyo is intense. I went to Rishiri Island in February to ski, but that's just off the coast of Hokkaido. I don't need to go any farther than that and I'm happy to stay at home in our little "mansion" --mansion means condo in Japan--with my spouse and our complete absence of pets. This is our forever home for as long as we can take care of ourselves.
You've been everywhere, man.
The field at Ancient Olympus...site of 2004 shot-put competition.
The bar in Almost Heaven, West Nagano, where patrons were still talking about the American reporter who performed Michael Jackson. Olympics 1998.
And the pressbox in Fenway where you smacked a solid roll of NECCO wafers on a fellow reporter's desk and shouted, "POP!!!"
Rest up. You've found your next calling,
More NECCO wafers.

I love seeing your posts from Hokkaido, so I know you and Kazumi are living your best lives. Thanks for the confirmation and keep the food pix coming!
Well done, as always. But I would gladly spend a day in Schenectady so consider yourself fortunate.
Our hometown. See you there! (You'll note that I name checked 'Nooga!)
