one year, already!

Tomorrow will be the anniversary of my return to Toronto from Canada; at the time I had no job or home, and was alone.

How much can change in a year. Mari's now pregnant with our second child, we've got a network of friends in the city, we've long since settled into our home, and Mari's even got her permanent residence. All has gone more or less as hoped.

Many friends and family have commented on the lucky timing of our departure from Tokyo, being as it was just before the earthquake etc. I still miss the place, though. Flipping through my Tokyo street photography book is always a great reminder.
