Constantly apologizing, that’s me. I had fully intended to continue posting about my 2 month trip to Japan last Spring, but life and other things kept getting in the way. I see more people are looking at my site, and I feel bad for you all that I haven’t been diligent in updating, I am truly sorry about that.
So, if anyone was worried about my health after the post about hurting my leg, I can say that my leg has fully healed, and I’ve been walking when the weather allows, getting back to my goal of walking 10+ miles per week. I’m nearly there, but I’m not really allowed to walk when the temperature is too high or too low, according to my cardiologist. I have plans to work around the temperature restrictions, I’ll be trying to keep it up.
I’ve been continuing to take pictures, especially around the DC/Northern Virginia area, so I think I’ll post some here. I have a couple hundred gigabytes of photos and videos from the Japan trip, although not as much as I wanted, due to recovering from my injury, I’ll probably figure out how to post a lot of them soon, although it won’t have the immediacy of posting from there. I’m thinking I will try to go again, possibly in 2027, which would be 20 years from my first trip.
I want to take a lot of photos here this year, since it the Semiquincentenial, the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and the DC area will have a lot of things going on, in fact they started on New Years with a laser projection show lighting up the Washington Monument with an audio narration:






So, at any rate, I’m sorry I haven’t been diligent in updating this blog, I promise I’ll do better!
