AM - early morning before heading to the airport to go to Tokyo - I wanted to get some air - so I did a short 3 miles close the the hotel before breakfast. Will hopefully have a chance to run in Japan later today.

PM - This afternoon, late in the day we did about 6.5 miles around the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. It was a cold dark and rainy run and we got a little lost until iPhone helped us back to the hotel.

Is this trip wrapping up soon?

I got a sub and am taking the day off today so I can watch Abby and Andy's Christmas program at school.

What are the dates of your Utah trip?

Hey - I come home on Saturday - very travel weary...

We head out to Park City Sunday Dec 18 through the 22.

Enjoy the Christmas program. Wish I could hire a sub... :)

That was my 5th sub in 15 years not counting days I have to take off to travel to track or cross country meets.

ohhhh, a substitute! I read it as unrelated items... picked up a subway sandwich and went to Andy's program, completely blowing off duties as manipulator of young skulls full of mush. My bad.

Travel safe, Bret. I both envy and don't envy you :)

Manipulator? I simply try to affirm all their prejudices and make them feel good about not knowing things.
