Yes, but you have to pick one. No hedging. 😜

UNO. 😜

Getting approval from the court to withhold things means it has to be on public record why they’re withholding something. Not the ‘what’ it was, but the ‘why.’

I don’t expect it to do much, but at least we’ll know.

I was curious about that, so I talked to some lawyers I know.

They can’t just withhold things or doctor them. They don’t have the only copy. If they release something redacted or edited without court approval someone can say “nope, that’s wrong” because they won’t be confidential anymore.

Vers/dom top.

I just don’t like people enough. 😂

Maybe he is Matthew Law. Have you heard him speak?

Yes, I noticed that I misspelled Shoburo no Shiki. Shush.

This is the first time I’ve seen a chatsubo in the USA that wasn’t hundreds of dollars, and the first time ever in a store. Usually it’s on eBay. After participating in several kuchikiri demonstrations over the last month I felt I needed it for next year.

My Chanoyu collection grows!

Final time? +29 minutes. My 26 minute commute was more than doubled by one awful off-ramp.

I really hope @wsdot.wa.gov will tell me this mess isn’t finished, but I stopped seeing construction.

So far advanced than I am, too! Looks like they’re at okuden, but hopefully not the secret stuff.

@audnebula.bsky.social, this might be beneficial for you as well.

Correction: Tanabara is the seventh day of the seventh lunisolar month, which is August 29 in 2025. Still usually celebrated on July 7.

Makes sense! Most of the chakai I’ve been in have been the same. I love tenshin meals. The head sensei wants everyone to do at least one chaji, usually a hango, before they get their chamei. Since I want to do this I’m fully on board!

I’m months to a year or more away from my turn to do a chaji, so I have lots of time. I just like to plan ahead! 😁

Higashi will likely be some wasenbon (traditional) and candied yuzu peel. I want to experiment with some marionberry options for omogashi.

Not a big fan of filberts, which puts me in the minority for Seattle.

I’d love to grill matsutake for hassun, but reheating will be a problem. In the absence of grilled matsutake, I’m thinking hassun would be some salmon nigiri (sea) and shredded chanterelle or nettle ohitashi (mountain).

Still very much in the air, but because our mizuya doesn’t have a full kitchen I don’t want to over extend.

Wanmori would likely include some matsutake, radish, and yuzu. Maybe some microgreens for garnish.
