packing up
I pack my life in stages; final conference and the suit goes in the suitcase, final classes, in go the work clothes. Final parties, toss in my earrings and heels; all the trappings of my small-town urban life boxed and shipped.
I’m left with my raggedest, ill-fitting, badly matched summer survival gear, sandals, a bottle of DEET, tickets to a concert and reservations for a nice long vacation followed by a month of WWOOFing.
After my family visits me and we travel to Kyoto, Tokyo and Hokkaido, I will check out the Earth Celebration concert on Sado Island, and then move on to Aomori in the north, where I and my friend P will shovel horse shit for room and board for a couple weeks, and then do housework and pick weeds in Nikko. I can’t wait.
No really.
Summer here I come!

Japan has had it’s ups and downs. I think I’m ready for a change. I’ll be heading back to the states in September.
