I feel like Steve Martin today. “The new phone books are here! I’m somebody!” Received an e-mail telling I had placed 2nd for the month of February in the category of Far Eastern blogs at something called the Honor Network. The stated mission of the Honor Network is to “Defend

Here in Japan, there are some hopeful sighs of relief. Princess Kiko is pregnant. “The Imperial Household Agency announced that Princess Kiko, the wife of Emperor Akihito’s second son, is pregnant. She is expected to have the baby in September or October.”- Japan Times In bars and sushi houses near

Nothing really serious tonight. Hell, the Super Bowl is tomorrow. Lest there be any doubt about who I will be rooting for: I grew up in South Side Pittsburgh. Steeler football was like a religion and its been 26 years since they have been to the mountain top. Oh, and

Got back to Japan tonight. Thank goodness! It was only a 3 day trip, but for some reason this time I was really happy to get a hug and a kiss from the S.O. Suspect that it was the first time today I was actually warm. It was freezing over
