We had our first snowfall last night, along with most of Northern Japan (Sendai, Morioka, Akita). The temperature sure dropped in the past week; the constant wind isn’t helping either. Bring on the snow though, that’s what I say!

In local news, it looks like my winter schedule is set. Going to Morioka for 2-3 days on December 23-25th to visit Lester, Kyoko is moving down here around December 26-27th, then we’re off to Zao Ski Resort for 3 days with Joe and Sayaka on January 1-3rd. It’ll be the second year in a row I’ve missed Christmas Eve at The Cliffside; now that I think about it I should really try to make it home for the next one.

I still don’t have Internet, but I’m trying to send at least one message or wall post to everyone on Facebook, or maybe even a phone call to those who are on Santa’s nice list!

If any of y’all feel like making an expensive phone call (or a cheap one from Skype), I think this is the number that you need to dial from North America: 011-81-90-6623-9931
