Start of the cherry blossom season on the lovely Philosopher's path in Kyoto.
The Philosopher's Path is a pleasant stone path through the northern part of Kyoto's Higashiyama district that follows a canal which is lined by hundreds of cherry trees. Usually in early April these trees explode with color, making this one of the city's most popular hanami (cherry blossom viewing) spots.
Approximately two kilometers long, the path begins around Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion) and ends in the neighborhood of Nanzenji. The path gets its name due to Nishida Kitaro, one of Japan's most famous philosophers, who was said to practice meditation while walking this route on his daily commute to Kyoto University.
These are some busts of Socrates and Co. All five are really intelligent men. There were tons of Greek and Roman statues and carvings all over the place (downstairs and upstairs).

When the Macy's in Downtown Brooklyn opened for Black Friday at 8 o'clock onThanksgivng evening, she was first in line. She had arrived at 2 o'clock, not knowing about Black Friday and expecting the store to be open; it was not. But she hung around the neighborhood, browsing in stores that were open, determined to get into Macy's to buy something she really wanted, but declined to identify. Two hours before the store was to open, the second person in line arrived.
The first woman had some advice: "Read the Bible from front to back, then from back to front,. Study science and literature. And get a dog, a cat and a canary." And then the store opened and she led the line in.
Used to be a creek here between UofT and the ROM. This is me and the trees. Kind of reminds me of piano keys.
So named because he always seemed to be watching you and thinking. Later shortened to just Phil. He turned out to be a class A troublemaker.

Friday. Last Period. Leh's office. Philosophers United. I thought it was going to be a quiet period before the weekend began. Then. This happened. We discussed humanity's relationship with the Earth, science, philosophy, spirituality, politics, and a whole bunch of other stuff for over an hour. Welcome to my world. These kids rock. Life in the Student Success Center.
