The Good Old Days

“I never met anybody who was a good traveler and invested time and money in a trip and regretted it. It’s a great life experience. And if you can’t afford it, I understand. But remember, life is short. The good old days are here now. If you spend your whole life thinking the good old days are ahead of you, you’re going to wake up with regrets that life passed you by. Of course, I sell tours and guidebooks. So I need to talk it up!”

One day it was there and the next it was gone.

This is where I catch the bus in the freezing cold during the winter. This is where I caught the bus today as it was 31 out with a decent breeze.

A V of geese flew overhead while I was there waiting. Lucky bastards.

I always buy running shoes that end up too small. Hopefully these will be fine for running to catch trains and hiking Mt. Takao.
