My video health blog


I’ve setup another blog that speaks to my health concerns. I have multiple sclerosis and I hope to speak to others with their own health issues that the medical community don’t have the answers to. Hearing back from them with text comments and by video comments would be a real plus. The blog is from what I learned about multiple sclerosis and what makes living easier but with others in the mix I would like to give everyone a voice. You can see the blog at www.vadot.com, please fee free to leave a comment. The blog I put together is a video blog and maybe the worst part is looking at my face.



Izu-hokawa Japan


Myself, the wife, and a few friends went to Izu-hokawa Japan for a night during Japan’s Golden week (Golden week is a string of holidays that are back-to-back thus giving many a free week-long vacation) and the food at the ryokan was the best I’ve eaten here in Japan (and I’ve had great food here). The sashimi there was to die for but we didn’t go that far. I’ve got a few pictures to share with you if you want to see. Japan is really changing before my eyes, it is more incredibly clean and beautiful (which in Japanese is the same word, kirei). Check the photos as proof.
