It's not you, it's me

Posts have been infrequent lately, and I just want you all to know that it's not permanent. I have stumbled upon great truths to happiness and success, and am going through a long process of meditating on, and integrating them into the way I run my life. It feels fantastic, but some things are getting turned down low while my focus is elsewhere. There will still be posts, but until I can sit down and rework the way I treat this blog to make it less of a chore and obligation more or something I actually want to do, I just don't feel right throwing stuff up just to fulfill my Operational Blog Quota, or whatever you want to call it.

Kikai has just entered into what the locals call "the dead of winter" and I call "the first day of spring". Funny, that. It's over 20 C, and we got a rare break in the weather because whoever is doing the forecasting scribbled a whole line of angry storm clouds all over my week, and today was sunny and pleasant. Island - 1, Science - 0. Take that weather prediction!

I took the opportunity to ride around on my increasingly broken bike, and take some photos.








There, those are some of the things I'm seeing. Sunset over the harbor, the island Sakura (Japanese cherry trees) are just about in full bloom, and for it being the "dead of winter" there is alarming amount of fruit, and greenery.

I'm going to go be alarmingly productive now. If any of you have any specific questions or concerns about my charming little patch of island real-estate feel free to leave a comment with some questions, or send me an e-mail. I think you all know the address. It might strike a chord and inspire an actual post, or I might just write you back.
