Greetings, Namaste here!!

Snow! Snow!..and more snow!! What`s it like in your neck of the woods?

Here in Nagoya it`s been snowing all day (thursday), and I would say there`s about 3-5 inches on the ground now in my neighborhood. The snow is supposed to keep commin down through the night and continue tommorow. Looks like we`ll be havin a White Christmas!!!

Well when the 24th rolls around, go outside and look at all the white covering and enjoy the silence and the beauty of it all. I wish Tokyo would get some white stuff.....

There were people sliding around on the road in front of my office (close to Nagoya station). I couldn`t find my bicycle when I looked for it because it looked like every other bike in the area - an oddly shaped thing covered in powdered sugar.

For a guy from Arizona, this is pretty cool :)

KEEP IT COMING, EVIL SNOW LORD.

I think winter here in Hokkaido is quite lovely. My one beef is the ice-slicked roads. Crossing those slippery things forces you to learn a new style of walking...or die.

An ASU guy, huh? I was a Wildcat, myself, but had a bunch of friends that went straight from Central high and Brophy to ASU. Good school.

アリゾナは「暑い」と言ってもなんだか十分表現してないかん じがするけど。。 頭のなかが沸くほど暑い。

Nagoya isn`t much of an improvement over Phoenix/Tempe/Mesa/Scottsdale, etc. in the summer, but it`s nice to have snow in the winter here.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

My world was filled with Christmas as I caroled throughout the night as I awaited Santa to arrive.
I sang out of the window in the windest snow


''Frosty the Snowman

Was a jolly happy soul

With a corncob pipe and a button nose

And two eyes made out of coal



Frosty the Snowman

Is a fairytale they say

He was made of snow

But the children know

How he came to life one day



There must have been some magic

In that old silk hat they found

For when they placed it on his head

He began to dance around



Frosty the Snowman

Was alive as he could be

And the children say

He could laugh and play

Just the same as you and me



Frosty the Snowman

Knew the sun was hot that day

So he said let's run

And we'll have some fun

Now before I melt away



Down to the village

With a broomstick in his hand

Running here and there all around the square

Saying catch me if you can



He led them down the streets of town

Right to the traffic cop

And he only paused a moment when

He heard him holler stop



Frosty the Snowman

Had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye

Saying don't you cry

I'll be back again some day



Thumpety thump thump

Thumpety thump thump

Look at Frosty go

Thumpety thump thump

Thumpety thump thump

Over the hills of snow''


Snow cut off electricity to over 1,000 homes where I live as I dreamed of being by a fireside setting.
Luckily Christmas day brought a white Chritmas to me.The corked bottle emptied as I thought of my plans for the future in Japan.Unfortunately I became a wild wolf and ran out the door and caused havoc in the neighborhood.

Wow that was a lovely song. Im stateside in nj born and raised and have never heard the full song of frosty before. There was no snow here unfortunately we had some rain. So it was more of a wet christmas. I venture even to say a bit warm. How fleeting the holiday seeason is.
