Back in God's Country

I wasn't planning on doing an update (and with this 28kbps internet I don't plan on doing another) but I was checking an email from my girlfriend and she said that she was watching the news and that two bad things had happened in Japan that day and she wanted to know if I could check from Canada. So I go onto the Japan Today website and these are the top headlines for today:

• Parents held for abuse in 2 cases
• Agriculture minister commits suicide
• Blair asked to help in Hawker case
• JR trains to have SOS stickers
• POWs want to meet emperor in UK
• Newborn baby found in garbage bag
• 2 girls arrested for abandoning baby
• Australia whale-watchers protest
• Bank worker held for sex assault
• 2-year-old girl stabbed in mall

I'm not sure which two bad things I'm supposed to be looking for. Actually today appears to be a good day-no parents killed their children and no children killed their parents! This is why I love Japan-it's such a happy happy place.

My new look

By the way I'm planning on growing a beard during my vacation so I apologize in advance for my scruffy, unkempt look. It's one of those things all teachers end up doing eventually.

Sorry!

Been quite a while I know. No excuses-I've just been lazy. The phone is great! I've updated my Books Read 2007 page. You might be surprised to see what I'm reading now! Just for anybody who doesn't yet know, I'll be coming home from May 15th to June 6th.
