Another year went by, I didn’t do squat for painting this year.  Despite that, I did brake a few barriers on the one’s that I did do I think.  I’ve got some I still need to post here.  Anyway, here’s a shot from the annual New Years party from Ash.

This is my third New Year’s in Japan, and the third time I’ve spent it at my favorite pub.

 Year by year, new faces appear while other’s do not for one reason or another. We brought in the new year this time with some of the most excellent white wine I’ve ever had – from 1981. Can’t remember what it’s called but it was expensive.

Around 3 am we walked in the cold to the local shrine and feasted on takoyaki. Great time.
