Nearly one month of 2015 has passed. It's been a bitter cold winter so far here in Vermont. I don't want the polar bears to lose their ice, but hope for it to warm up in our neck of the woods. If I had wings I'd fly south. Aside from any other things standing in the way of becoming snow birds (money being prime), Toshi, who is thoroughly dedicated to his unpaid job as president of JASV, says we can't disappear for part of the year as long as he's president. I swear he spends more time on his volunteer job than he did on his paid one.
The board, spearheaded by Toshi, is already neck deep in preparations for Matsuri, the huge, biennial festival the JASV presents at St. Michael's College in Colchester, Vermont. This year the date is set for April 19th. It suddenly seems to be approaching quickly.
I'm still hard at work on my Japanese memoir. It's now close to 600 pages long. Most are double spaced, but that's still a lot. Editing it is the next challenge, though it's far from the last job. Submitting it to a publisher is something I'm already dreading though I'm not anywhere near that stage yet.
Time to get dressed and eat something.
Take advantage of the cold weather to curl up with a good book. Happy reading.
