There are a lot of really cool festivals in Japan. However, the one that is nearest and dearest to my heart is the Shingen-Ko Matsuri (信玄公祭り), which takes place in Kofu every spring. Perhaps it’s because Kofu is the first place I lived in Japan. In any event, I was there for the 17th and 29th renditions of the festival. I was many months too late to catch the 42nd version, advertised in today’s photo. The 48th edition will happen next year.

NLCS begins today

Jesse Chavez

My random, desktop image of the day reminded me that the 2018 MLB playoffs resume today. I have no horses in the race anymore so I don’t really care what happens. I haven’t seen a professional baseball game in several years now, perhaps the longest stretch of my life.

Anyway, today’s photo comes from 2012, the year Jesse Chavez started the season in Toronto and ended up in Oakland. Since pitching for my A’s from 2012 until 2015, Jesse has pitched for five different teams.
