Bow-wow

Recently we had the "girls" (Mahiro + Towako) over for a few hours. Japanese girls are so different from our two intense "sons of thunder," But don't be fooled... they are still wild and crazy, but just in their own way. We took a stroll over to Sloboda (Freedom) square where at around 4pm-6 you are sure to run into a bunch of canine characters at our own unofficial dog park in the shadow of high rises and skyscrapers. Living downtown has it's own sub-culture of people who suck the marrow out of life and every green spot in the middle of corporate concrete. It's an interesting life, odd at times, never dull.
