Drone Attacks and Ikebana

This evening I listened to a little bit of All Things Considered from America's NPR as well as the English version of Japan's NHK radio news.  American news highlighted controversy over drone attacks and the recovering economy.  NHK covered flower arranging at the UN meeting in New York and the first sighting of cherry blossoms in Tokyo, a record 15 days earlier than last year.  Looking forward to an early spring.
