I've just seen a face,
I can't forget the time or place
That we'd just met, she's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we've met
Na na na na na na

Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
But I had never been aware
And as it is I dream of her tonight
Na na na na na na

Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again

( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CEZ7KHdApE )

Good morning, everyone! Another beautiful day today, so another chance to find some pretty leaves... But first, unbranded Keemun tea, a bowl or rice and miso soup to get me going.

No black flies, midges, no-seeums, etc., lots of activity in the woods as all the little critters get ready for winter, and really really nice around the fire!

Go to your local PriceChopper and look for 'Bigelow's English Breakfast Tea.' It's actually a very nice drink, you don't need to order anything, and it's cheap.

I love their "The Little Drummer Boy." Hey, I think I saw 'Amal and the Night Visitors' sections on youtube... brb. Yes, it was there in six parts. Is that the one?
That's the one! I remember a different production of it, but it's the same opera. Normally I don't care for opera, but there is just something nice about this one!

Funny how Christmas and New Years are celebrated so differently in different areas. In the the west, Christmas is a time for family gathering and New Years a time for parties. In Japan, Christmas is the time when all young couples go to Love Hotels, (upscale 'hot pillow' places) but will spend New Years with family visiting Shinto shrines. (Buddhism loses out to Shinto on New Years Day.)

And now, one more cup of tea, then off for some more photos. Yesterday didn't give me anything really great...



And...




Gotta do better than this... I guess I wasn't really paying attention to what I was seeing. Or maybe I was just seeing too much!

Water. I drink lots and lots of water every day.

Multi Grain Cheerios has 100% daily allowance of Folic Acid and 110 calories per bowl.

But I am not obsessing or anything...

Christmas with my family means opening family gifts on Christmas Eve after a big early dinner. Dinner is early because I hate to wait to open gifts and give gifts and everyone knows it. If dinner gets pushed past four I get antsy and turn into a five year old.

Christmas Day is spent with the extended family. If little ones are there then Santa gifts are opened in the morning. Christmas dinner is served at a more reasonable hour because all the gifts have been given.

Up until I finished Graduate School, my Dad would wait for me to come home to go and buy the tree and then decorate it. Mom would always give us instructions on how big the tree could be and we would always ignore her and come home with something huge. Then we would have to go out and get more lights. It was a great tradition but moving away and getting a job that got me home a few days instead of a few weeks before Christmas killed it.

Cuppa #2

Yorkshire Gold Tea


I think I have figured out the right recipe for this tea.
1tsp - level, literally level, pour water about 3/4 - 4/5 of the cup's capacity, 5min.

In my tea brewing games I have noticed something interesting. I could be wrong and it is just a figment of my imagination Anyway. Apparently, it is not a good idea to fill up a standard cup to its rim. 4/5max, 3/4 is even better. I suspect it has something to do with interaction with air and rapid cooling down, while steeping. It doesn't affect my double walled glass at home. First if all there is a minimal loss of heat on its side. Secondly, a strainer with its top cover completely cover the glass.
