Memo: i'm very tired, going to take a very long bath at medical hot spring ♨︎ – as such, disappearing for a while & not monitoring channels handy ways to keep in touch in "my pardons if I didn't answer your internets" vid below fondly, etc dvo/uw

Tidier link to Misasa dispatches if curious: {Back to usual busy medical schedule in sunny Okayama so continue to cheer quietly from sidelines & not in with the hi-jinks + chit-chat, my head is tired and my hands (and heart) aches} #gaijintwitter ♨︎

{in special service for pals in Canada with postal delivery delays and conundrums / link above includes snaps of stamps, productions details, special cards for Ryoko and Ichiro + a printable PDF with crop marks – such convenience!}

I know it's on another app/channel and *all we do is share things on other channels to make it more difficult* but gone live on FB to scribble new year cards to Canada + have ukulele and Chinese tea on standby, come hang out, no big deal / no sign in

@nepaltourismb Best wishes for a year of sustainable, enjoyable & profitable tourism for the wonderful people of Nepal

@EdwardScheckler Vibes

@EdwardScheckler Bless their dear hearts for pulling off a delivery miracle every year… Even with subsequent downturns, still over 1 billion delivered per year on New Year's Day – hooray for super cub bikes

Even better than Santa showing up on Christmas is the #JapanPost delivery zipping up on their super cub on New Year Day with a satchel of new year cards… Here's a quick snap of three of my favorites so far I hope your postbox was well laden

@RobertAllenPoet Yep, pro move

We did it! Rocked up and hiked to the local shrine mountain, did the clap clap, coin in the box, ring the bell, say a prayer – and then Stanley rocked this awesome pose / then walked down to ancestors' graves, did a spruce up, said hello & a prayer Now wait for NY cards k bai

@milkteaandbooks The two month old beats going anywhere for any fireworks at any time Best wishes for a lovely year ahead with your sweet baby

@procrastixote I imagine montage is of each of them preparing for the journey, wondering "why did they go, who did they leave behind, did they ever return, did they find what they were looking for?" as well as the practical things of selecting gear and writing a will

@AYabanjin And that gorgeous chrome plated Hermes typewriter was fully restored by "Mr. and Mrs. typewriter" in the UK went for an eye watering sum but somehow entirely worth it

@NomadDragon7 @PaprikaGirl_JP Once we perform the song again after a few more practices, hopefully we can share a nice video with you all… Was so fun to perform with her for a group of friends (I also did my best to explain the lyrics to everyone)

@loganletsgo I've got collections of payphones *met around the world* organized at my web archive for "archaeological purposes" yet I found myself using the ones here in Japan just for that satisfying feeling of dropping a coin and pushing those beautiful buttons

@financialninjaa Roger that, I've got a lot of experience hustling startups, heck some maybe you've even heard of so always curious of ways I can cheer along
