As Charlie Brown would say, another Christmas and New Years holiday has come and gone. This was a busy one! As you can see from the recent blog posts, I didn’t post for all of December and have only one post for January so far, not counting this one. As busy as I was with the kids when they were younger, that doesn’t seem to compare to how busy I am with them now, in their pre-teen years. But don’t let that sound like a complaint—I am enjoying every moment I get with them.
At any rate, over the next few weeks I’ll be trying to ease back into the more or less regular schedule of posting 2-3 times per week with a mix of original haiku and haiku translations along with some link posts to various Japan related things on the net. I didn’t have a chance to do it last year, but making some design improvements to this site is also on my mind. We’ll see what comes.
Anyway, Happy New Year 2025 to all of you! This is the year of the snake, by the way. I may do a post about this later, so stay tuned. But for the moment, just Happy New Year! Hope you had a good one and hope this year will be a great one!
