Welcome to the ever-evolving site of the Cherry Blossom
King. Like any library, this site will accrete content slowly
until only the librarian (and perhaps those armed with an
Aleph) will be able to find anything.
For the moment, however, there's little enough here.
The Eternal City
In April of 2005, we went to Rome. The day after we arrived, Pope John Paul II died. Much fun ensued.
The Red Queen shook her head. "You may call it 'nonsense' if you
like," she said, "but I've heard nonsense, compared with which that would
be as sensible as a dictionary!" (Through the Looking Glass and What
Alice Found There, Lewis Carroll, 1862)
