One of the interesting holidays they have here in Japan is Golden Week, which is essentially spring break for adults. But since shutting down the world for an entire week is somewhat troublesome they split it into two half weeks. As my teaser suggests I went horseback riding this weekend, which was really fun. It was just lessons this time, next time we can take...

Whatever ya got, a really close friend of mine's troop attempted suicide in WY. She's in the hospital fighting for her life. Anything ya'll can offer would be very much appreciated. It may be a wait and see at this point but I believe every little bit counts both for her and her family, thanks ya'll.
There really isn't any other place quite like where you're from, especially when you're from Portland! So this for all ya'll that don't know what you've been missing ; )
Ran across this and just had to share! It's got bunches of my favorite Places to include Powell's Bookstore!

So it's been another fantastic weekend here in Japan. We kicked things off early friday afternoon with a trip to an all you can eat/drink Korean style bbq place (close enough lol) for one of our guys going away. Who's we? About 40 fire fighters! The house was packed! We all ate and drank to our hearts content. Then there was speeches...

1. I stick my tongue out when I'm concentrating really hard...which isn't often lol
2. I'm the strong silent type, I don't smile or frown often and consciously remind myself to smile when I'm out around lots of people....

Ok I tried dumping most of these in my last blog but I think it was choking on them so I cut most of them out so it'd go through. I put the best ones there but repeated them here. So here's a ton of blossom spam from April 3rd to the 7th.
Hey hey Ya'll!
So I've had a very awesome weekend. I've got a pile of more cherry blossom photos since last thursday. They've peaked and I've got some good shots of them in full bloom. It's all downhill from there and it's been snowing petals in small flurries, which is really impossible to fully capture on a camera. Not that I didn't try but I...
