Bloompy Sad

I was taking a sabbatical, thinking about how to make the blog more relevant and interesting, when word got out that a relocation might be in order. That got me sad as I love living in Tokyo, being in Japan and in Asia. With the moving deadline now becoming real, I am absorbing anything I can in my remaining time here, a time which I will remember as one of the best times of our lives.

Between the last entry and today's, many things had taken place, most of which were family matters that included sickness and death. Sorry for the absence.

But, as I had mentioned above, I was in the middle of thinking about revamping this site, so perhaps with the move, I can have a new start, a new life again.

Abe Resigns (Finally!)

A year marked by scandals among his ministers was enough to erode his public support. Written off by fellow politicians and the media, his days were numbered, and finally, today, Abe Shinzo resigned from his post as the Prime Minister of Japan.

Snow Cone & the Seven Dwarfs

A chance meeting with a passing stranger on Omotesando-dori got Bloompy to turn around to follow him and his entourage of seven. Do not miss minute 5:00, when the youngest of the clan struggled to step over a leash. All dachshunds owners had seen their pups experience this at one point or another.
