Sounds great, James.
No idea what kind of weekend we're going to get here, but it's my son's birthday. Should be fun!
I hope I get a few hours of quality time with Neb. I'd really like to wash the crapola off.

Not that I am aware of Charlie ......
definitely not at the moment ..... snow around Tokyo disappeared more than a month ago, and the rain over the last few weeks has washed the salt well away if there was any ......

What they do have, which I have never seen before .... is they pipe natural hot spring water through pipes that run under the road with small holes in them ..... this means that there is a constant covering of warm water on the road, so it never freezes !!!!! This is in some of the ski resorts and places, not in Tokyo itself .....
Clever bunch these Japanese aren't they ....

Cherry blossoms should be blooming pretty soon, eh?
Man, I'm bummed out that my Japanese trip this spring didn't materialize. On the one hand, I'm glad that I won't have to travel with my new project, but on the other... I really wanted to get to Tokyo/Ibaraki/Tochigi!!
When's "Golden Week," James?

, James!! Sounds rather wasteful though... A little surprising to hear that.
