An unanticipated typhoon.....

It is 11:45am on a wet, windy - very, very windy - Monday morning in Tokyo.  It is a national holiday, today.  We are experiencing typhoon winds strong enough to have cancelled flights to and from both Haneda and Narita.

I started my morning walk at 7am, this morning, without either hat or sweat towel, fearful of either being blown away.  I never quite made it to the Imperial Palace for a walk circumnavigating the place because the rains started.  I made it, soaked, to Delifrance, for my morning cup of coffee.

Balentien hit two home runs, last night, setting a new record for Japan.  No, I was not there.  Yes, I could have gone but being with my wife and daughter was obviously more important than seeing the second NPB record, this trip.   And I will still get to another game, tentatively planning to travel to Saitama on Wednesday, to see the Seibu Lions vs the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters.

I'm reading a lot.....I'm sleeping a lot.....and I've gotten back to walking on a daily basis.  Walking, cane and all, is something I've got to do on a regular basis......and these weeks in Japan will hopefully become the start of something I once did with regularity and will do as part of my daily routine for a long, long, long time to come.
