Welcome to winter

Well it's winter again. My 38th on God's green Earth, and my son's second. I've always liked winter, and I have to say that Tokyo's Winters are just about right for me. Cool (hovering around 5 degrees), brief (only two-three months long) and for the most part sunny. A welcome change of pace from the Winters I lived through in Canada, of course (especially Vancouver's, just too gloomy). And even preferable I think to the extended springtime of Sydney which if anything was like an air conditioned hotel lobby -- a bit too perfect. Winter should have some teeth, after all.
