May Be Peace Be With Me (And You)

Earlier this month I received a Shinto blessing to ask that evil
spirits be kept away during this 'yakudoshi year (unlucky year)' for
me. It's said to be at 32 years of age for women. Yup, that's me!

A few days later Nina and I reenacted our own Setsubun 'oni ha soto,
fuku ha uchi! (devils out, fortune in!)' moves. I even bit into a
ginormous futomaki sushi roll whilst facing south-west, all part of
the 'moves.'

I ain't takin no chances this year.
