"Slow Fraser" july sumthing ~ aug sometime dave, ryoko, ichiro 'stanley' olson w/ special guest star mother-in-law junko fujita We're coming for a low-key summer trip, mostly posting up at Grammy's house in Langley (land of mystery)

@p_millerd however now he makes zines, cards, scrapbook and the rest. and has sweet tape dispensers & pencil sharpener which I also use

@p_millerd i did, surrounded him with all possible art supplies and gave him his own corner. very limited screen time, keep volume and sensory inputs low, garden time. He's six now and still a lot of emotions because he wants to do everything sometimes and nothing other times and resists

anyone have tips for hypersensitive 3 year olds having lots of tantrums and screaming?

@profshoelace hello from Okayama airport, our tiny little regional outpost heading on a trip taking these new laces and freshed up kicks for a transpacific flight and summer of wandering Thank you for your truly spectacular website

@profshoelace we'll catch a photo as I get that flat laces looking sharp and detailed. Running the "lightning bolt" vertical bit, had to make a little detour through slot in the tongue... maybe this makes it look a little bit more lightning-y :)

A special hello and hooray to @profshoelace who has this unbelievably comprehensive, engaging and *old-school* interactive encyclopedia of shoelace technique goodness. My battered timberlands are now rocking lightning fieggen.com/shoelace/light…

OK I'm up, coffee in mug, trash out, AC & fans on timers, sheets into wash, etc Cargo into Agnes van (maybe ukulele? what about car seat?) on to #SlowFraser i'm not ready, mother-in-law is you'll have to wait a couple months for the "whale shark" album drop (we made demos)

it's not me but…

@hearinladotcom of course going anywhere in Japan you see his face several dozen times per day, not much he's not advertising in front of a green screen

@deniz_people @ElliottWolfeJ Awesome hello from Okayama. Yeah I'm the same situation, I start my day with hockey and coffee and my favorite presenters on 650 were really a lifeline back to Vancouver. I was born 1970 just like the team, been stuck with 'em ever since

@uncleweed @ElliottWolfeJ I’m in Tokyo and listen out and about doing the trains to and from work … the shows always gave me a sense of calm amidst the chaos.. some of these guys are too talented to stay quiet so hopefully they get something else going. Hope that slower life in Okayama is going well!

This is gonna be stupid long. Sorry. I grew up at Sportsnet 650, quite literally. I started working there when I was 19, which in hindsight is just crazy lucky. It was a dream come true to talk about sports for a living - just a super sick job that shouldn’t be real.

@JamieDodd hey it's your fan in Japan, I'm just waking up and seeing all this news and I'm completely crushed, even the last few days without having you and assortment of stellar guests & charming oddballs and thesaurus words, digressions and banter has left me with withdrawal

Just checked twitter for the first time in a few days, wow so many notifications! Now to take a big drink of water and check my work email...

@deniz_people @ElliottWolfeJ hello from Okayama, I start my day with coffee and hockey talk listening to all the pods, I'm just waking up to this news and totally shocked even though I shouldn't be shocked but I'm devastated

@ElliottWolfeJ I live in Japan and all of you guys at 650 doing Canucks talk were my daily life line back to my hometown of Vancouver… there is too much talent out there not to do something even more cool … on to even better things man

@camcavers we increased the overwhelming throngs of people in those prefectures last year, by three. I'm currently at a hotel lobby in Okayama to rendezvous with two guests from Port Moody, or is it Port Coquitlam? Plenty of space in the lobby

Wait, we actually crossed into Ishikawa but the beaches in Fukui are even quieter usually

The overtourism here in Japan has reached a fever pitch in Fukui prefecture

@GraceSpelman thanks for the tip, got it tagged in the wish list. Great looking projects

@uncleweed i use the logan 301-1 mat cutter! i am so afraid of sharp edges and i feel very safe using this one :)

made all these mats myself with my mat cutter. great investment imo

@japanauthor it's a great town! Though I mostly saw it from the hospital window did get to enjoy afterwards, so much that I'm going back in September

Moving on around western Honshu. Saizaki Noji. Seto Inland Sea. Low cloud so that the islands in the background are almost completely obscured. 34.34422° N, 133.05692° And on to Onomichi which has a unique style of ramen that uses pork belly and a rich stock. Only a ¥1200 a bowl. Having consumed zillions of calories there is a need to walk to a spiritual powerspot. The biggest boulders in the city around Senkou-ji Temple 千光寺.
