Not Colored

A truly delightful vacation.

The plum trees were definitely worth the walk; the difference between the March flowering and the January flowering is fascinating.

Really, I can see why Seiichi loves these things.

And dinner plus Seiichi in the black shirt comes out to presents all around.

Well, not that that's set in motion, hopefully things will calm down for a bit.

Seiichi, Genichirou, what would you think of going out to Tsurugaoka-Hachimangu in Kamakura for Setsubun, this year?

Congratulations, Yuuta. Not that the outcome was in any doubt.

Another term wrapped up and all my subjects are definitely back on track. Thank you, again, Genichirou, for helping with History. It's amazing how much one term away puts one behind on that.

My mother may not always entirely understand, but at least she doesn't do things like that.

I think the arguments we've come up with are convincing, though. They have a high chance of working.

In the final analysis... we will not permit them not to.

That may well have been the single most ill-advised action I have ever personally witnessed.

Which is saying something, really.
