Home for now
I'm in Mtown now. And have been for a day or two, but things have been busy, you know me. Anyway, hopefully I'll write about the last few days in Japan, but right now I'm off to a wedding in Wisconsin. So it'll have to wait. -
50 pounds
When I came to Japan, you could have two suitcases checked, each weighing 70ish pounds. Even as late as this Christmas, that was the case. Not any more. 50 pounds! At least I'm not from the UK, they only get about 50 pounds total ( Read more... ) -
Running on Empty
I'm back from the trip with the kids, it went well, and if I get a chance, I'll write about it, but its not likely. It's 5:20am and in 10 minutes we'll walk down to the 7-11 to meet Satoru and go to the beach. Of course, Kaneko got sick and it's a rainy day, but we can't cancel our reservation, so off to the beach we go. I wish there were two of ( Read more... ) -
Niigata Again
In case anyone is worried, I felt the earthquake this morning, but it was pretty minor here. Niigata got hit again though. It's not as bad as 2004 though, so I guess that is good. Anyway, it's late and I have to be up at 5am tomorrow morning. Good night! -
The Great Dilemma.

Not an easy task, especially since there is stuff in my apartment that was here LONG before I ever got here. I've made a good dent in it, we carried 9 bags ( Read more... ) -
New Baby!
I just got a new baby! The Canon Rebel XTI (known as the EOS Kiss in Japan). I got two lenses and the price was cheaper than in America. I also got an extra 4000yen off because of all the money I've spent at the camera store in the past three years. WOOOOO! Digital SLR!!! -
Good Bye Ceremony (West)
So on Monday I had the goodbye ceremony for the students at West. I really didn't want to go because public crying is totally not my thing. But what can you do? I sat at my desk forever, chatting with some of the teachers and then the principal escorted me to the gym ( Read more... ) -
Wasting Time
I SHOULD be translating. I SHOULD be making sure my speech is ok. But what I WANT to do is play with photos. I can't though, so here is ONE and only one. The party was two degrees of Michael J. Fox, sooooo ( Read more... )
