Ya, on clear days there are a lot of spots you can see Fuji from over here. I noticed the air quality wasn't the best yesterday though. We need a nice, windy storm to clean the air. Do you have views of Fuji-san where you are?
We never usually do Kentucky, but we decided to throw it into the mix this year. Your wife sounds like mine, always mixing in a Japanese dish or two. That's fine, but just funny to think if the roles were reversed.
Merry Christmas to you and your family too.
