20 miles

By ⋅ August 29, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve heard a lot about how long the Japanese live. Friends and family (and even myself, at times) have remarked on how Tokyo is, mostly, devoid of fat people. Of course, rural towns are likely a different story, but I am not familiar with the trends in such places, and so will choose to ignore [...]

Packing up…again.

By ⋅ February 10, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

Okay, so I’m not really packing up as I write this – I’m sitting in the Portland airport waiting to catch my next flight.
