Four and Twenty years ago
I come into this life,
the son of a woman
And a man who lived in strife.
He was tired of being poor
And he wasn't into selling door to door
And he worked like a devil to be more.
A different kind of poverty now upsets my soul
Night after sleepless night
I walk the floor and I want to know
Why am I so alone?
Where is my woman, can I bring her home?
Have I driven her away?
Is she gone?

It seems like yesterday... but yesterday's gone.
Good morning, all. Warmed up a bit to 6° today, so I'm drinking Keemun tea to start my morning, and eating a grilled chicken breast with some rice. Well, half of one. But I used so much Cajun spices when I made it, it's sharp enough to flavor three bowls of rice!
Going looking for banking services today. I need to find a bank who's ATM doesn't charge large fees for international withdrawals. We'll be moving on soon, and I don't want to put too much money into Thai banks. I'd rather leave it in Japan and only take out what I need for a month or two at a time. But between currency conversions fees and ATM fees, there can be some major lose incurred unless I can work out the best way to deal with it.
