Definitely. I don't know that I'll be in country long enough to get tons of perspective (about 10 days after removing travel days), but I'll have a lot more than I have now!

Too bad you won't be there for a sumo tournament. Catching one of those live and in person is definitely on my bucket list.

It looks like we will be, but we won't be in Osaka. That would be neat to see. I had thoughts about catching some baseball, but we'll be too early for the regular season and much too far away from the spring training sites. I'm not at all worried about filling out our schedule, but we will have to go back and try and catch some of the things we'll miss.

I finished reading Bradbury's The October Country. Positively loved it, and I've no idea how it's taken me this long to get to reading it. There's loss and yearning and orange October leaves spilling from the pages. The story Homecoming in particular hit me hard.
The more Bradbury I read, the more I realize how great his influence is, how even before I read my first Bradbury book, I had felt his influence in the other books I read.
Now I'm reading Kaden Love's Toothsucker.

Reading Bradbury makes my heart ache, in ways nostalgic, sad, and the thrill of fear when you see movement out of the corner of your eye, and realize phew! it was just a leaf falling or a squirrel jumping - or was it?
All of those are in a good way; but also I'm not sure I'm in a head-place right now to read him. Even reading the words "October Country" is bringing up some feels from when I read it so many years ago. Fahrenheit 451, Martian Chronicles, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Dandelion Wine... most of us I'm sure could go on with adding to their favorites. Bradbury was one of the best.

Finished John Crowley's The Deep. I really like Mr Crowley - Little, Big is one of my three "test cases" for how good a "Best Fantasy Books" list really is - and while I'm hard pressed to say what it's about - hope, or change, or big shifts occurring through little things without anyone realizing it, or discovering your own self, maybe - but I like it.
