Yo-Yo Ma, the Countdown Has Begun

I am just so lucky, flock. Who wouldn't envy me out of EVERY SINGLE KIND ONE OF YOU?

I'm going to Japan on Monday. Yes, the land of temples, gardens and fountains! The Zen center of the universe for former mass-murderers! The lights! The neon! The Tokyo! That weird script that you've never figured out!

Yep. I'm going there on Monday, and I'm going through Minneapolis and Seattle to Osaka! ISN'T THAT JUST SO MUCH FUN???!!! Imagine watching Minneapolis Immigration unfold before your VERY EYES, while you stand there, worrying about where your passport is?

But that's not the fun part! I get to get on the plane the VERY NEXT DAY to come back exactly the same route. One night in a hotel in Japan!

Line up to take my place, my faithful! Line up. Tickets will all be out at 4 a.m. Monday morning.
