From Heisei 22 to 23
15 years ago
Happy Boxing Day, everyone. (And no, nothing to do with Ashita no Joe, Hajime no Ippo, or RL boxers.)
I'm pleased to be spending the holidays with family and just being in America for the first time in two years ^_^ It's been a great time and I'll be sad when it's over, but at least I'll be going back to continue my new life within Japan. (And I still haven't written much about that, have I? Well, work was kinda busy...)
Before going back to Japan, though: in another leg of my journey, I'll be visiting family on the West Coast. As chance would have it, I'll be able to attend some of Further Confusion! The last two days of it, at least... and that, only because of the kindness and help of
krahnos I probably would have missed it completely, otherwise. This will be my first convention at all since Anthrocon 1999 in Valley Forge.
I'll try to make it there on Saturday evening... at any rate, I know I'll be seeing some of you who are watchin me, and missing others. Please drop a journal reply or a PM (preferably a PM with your deepest, darkest secrets! not that I would know anything about that) so that I know to look for you!
For those of you wondering what the subject line means: this coming New Year's, it will be (and as of 2012, "will have been", I guess) the 23rd year that Akihito has been the Emperor of Japan. For example, when I go back, all the train tickets will have "23" printed on them --:=)
