There were many bands and groups marching;
over 100,000 people were in attendance this year,
for the parade’s 25th year.
I had a great time…

Last Sunday,
I met with my one of my dearest long-time friends here in Japan,
Michael R.,
and his girlfriend Akemi.
Michael is leaving Japan,
and after 18 plus years,
it breaks my heart to say à bientðt,
to him.
We all met to see the Jackson Pollock show;
Jackson Pollock: Centennial Retrospective,
at National Museum of Modern Art, (MOMAT)
in Takebashi, Tokyo.
February 10- May 5th, 2012
The show was absolutely amazing!

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...
