A multi-tasking / shooting from the hip kind of post....

"No, Debbie....don't!! Don't throw it away!!

We LOVE Christmas!!!"

Janet has a Shooting From the Hip project going on....taking pictures with your cell phone of life around you and posting them on your blog.

Yesterday, as I was walking along a road that runs in front of an elementary school, I could hear the sound of a garbage truck....and of kids....laughing and yelling. I passed them, on the opposite side of the street and oh, how I wish you could hear the voices of those 1st Graders. They were having such a wonderful time. The garbage men, not really paying much attention to the kids, were just doing their job.

Doritos?
Good.
Wasabi?
Good, but (for me) in moderation.
Mayonnaise?
Oh yeah.

Wasabi-mayonnaise flavored Doritos?

Strangely enough....they were pretty good.
They have a nice, wasabi kick about them....grrrrreat with beer.
Not so good with salsa....too much happening, flavor-wise on one little chip.

One down....a gazillion to go!

Valentine's Day here in Japan is pretty bassackwards. It's frustrating. (Go here if you want to know more.) When I get the chance, I like to inform my students of the way we do things in the US on this really nice day to celebrate love.

("Men...give women chocolate.

Men...give women flowers.

Men! On Feb. 14! NOT March 14!")

So, on Wednesday, when I got to my class at the hospital.....one young doctor came into the classroom and he handed me this:BooYah!!!
