Vice is a monster of so frightful mien,
As to be hated, needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.
-Alexander Pope
I like that poem a lot.
Tokyo has finally given up being cold. That's good, snow didn't suit it anyway. It now feels like a luvverly spring day, and I fully intend to go out and enjoy it fully. There are probably a lot of people on the streets today, and they could all use what I have to say. Off to work!
