Brother Rick showed up yesterday and I'm doing my best to give him a tour of the area.
Reed is working hard at his new financial job. It's keeping him out of trouble if not providing him with a major income yet.

Bandages came off my incisions and everything went fine except it didn't seem to help. Well maybe it helped a little. And so it seems that most of the problem is in my neck. In fact I've even figured out a little thing to do with my neck and it shoots pain right down into my little finger on my right hand. So I went to a massage therapist I'd been to before and she thought I might be the victim of a long standing posture problem called Forward Head Posture from spending too much time on the computer.
And she just may be right as I got some heavy pain when I did a couple of the exercises but that seems to be disappearing after just a few days. Tingling may take a while longer as it's been 2 years in the making.

This is kinda cool. Thrilllist recently did an article on the oldest bars in every state.
Florida: The Palace Saloon on Amelia Island, 1903. Florida isn’t designed for longevity, but The Palace Saloon holds strong. It’s, well, palatial. It was built in 1903 with the help of Adolphus Busch (yes, that Busch), and made its name as the last American tavern to officially close during Prohibition. It proudly carries the title of “Florida’s oldest saloon in the same place, under the same name.” An honorable mention is the Green Parrot Bar in Key West, which opened as a grocery in 1890. The drinking in the back was originally only for locals, but it officially became a bar in the mid-1900s. Today it has a super sketchy live webcam pointed at the bar.
The Palace Saloon is where Crescendo Amelia did their latest promo video featuring Marah Lovequist and, of course, Reed, which gives me an excellent excuse to put up that video again.

Layla invited Reed to Tokyo for Spring Break. He sent back some pictures. Also a Wikipedia post so you know what you're looking at.
Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー Tōkyō Sukaitsurī) is a broadcasting, restaurant, and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan. It became the tallest structure in Japan in 2010 and reached its full height of 634.0 metres (2,080 ft) in March 2011, making it the tallest tower in the world, displacing the Canton Tower, and the second tallest structure in the world after the Burj Khalifa (829.8 m/2,722 ft).
The tower is the primary television and radio broadcast site for the Kantō region; the older Tokyo Tower no longer gives complete digital terrestrial television broadcasting coverage because it is surrounded by high-rise buildings. Skytree was completed on Leap Day, 29 February 2012, with the tower opening to the public on 22 May 2012. The tower is the centrepiece of a large commercial development funded by Tobu Railway and a group of six terrestrial broadcasters headed by NHK. Trains stop at the adjacent Tokyo Skytree Station and nearby Oshiage Station. The complex is 7 km (4.3 mi) north-east of Tokyo Station.

And despite the uncomfortableness, a friend took me to Dos Cafe where a bluegrass band was having a jam session and I got to play a few songs.
