Vollmond

疲れた。
But the time of the full moon
is never a time for deep sleep
or slow work. ;)

Sakura are still in bloom; everywhere. It's nice biking through the long rows of them along the river; even at night, the bright pinks and white of the trees almost seems to glow; and with an elegant, ghost-like quality, they brood on the riverside in beauty.

Lakshmi has it's first day of business tomorrow! Wish the girls luck if you know them.

I'm worn out and sleepy - biked all the way to Imuro and back today; record time, too, which is inexplicable as it's been months since I did it last. But made it. The kids there are great; despite the fact a whole grade of them have some of the worst and most horrid behavior I've ever seen. Despite the stress from that; they can still make me smile; it's a good thing, I think, if intense.

It seems like no matter where I work I tend to get thrown at challenges; I tend to end up in the thick of intensity, and these trends are surprisingly following suit even here. Makes you wonder, you know, it really does. ;) But in good ways, I think.

Live Jazz at Starbucks, underground, a few nights ago. New friends, good Shogi, great music, no smoking. Goodness. There ain't much better than that, eh?

Gute Nacht.
