The INJ Tokyo St. Patrick's Parade
has been postponed to next week, March 20th.
I am relieved to know that everyone I know here is OK,
but the devastation elsewhere...
My Aunt Toni,
who arrived here late afternoon on 3/10,
with her son & his fiance, is fine.
What a souvenir, they will take home!
Now, the next thing is
radiation is in the air.
Should I go out,
should I stay in?
So far, there has been a fair degree of normalcy;
I've been able to shop in the supermarket,
the phones & email working,The Internet, etc...
The trains are running slow;
no express, only local, which means slow going.
Cedar-pollen hay fever masks have been prevalent,
for some time now,
this is street "normal"-
But the prospect of wearing
a wet face mask, and covering up exposed skin
to go out today, for radiation protection
is quickly losing its "tee hee" factor.
I'm trying to keep perspective
and mindful of how lucky we are to have survived
when so many others have not...
Till Next Time...
