I am back in Hawaii for a week, visiting friends. I am so happy to be back in the warm weather, it was snowing in Washington as I left. Of course I wanted to stop by and see Michiko and Shuzo, good times. However, of course as well, they were busy re-polishing my rusty Japanese. It is like working out, I don’t really enjoy it at first and it can even be a little painful, but after you get going you really enjoy it again. I hopefully will be returning to the fall for school. Aloha to all
