Updating...

Just to be realistic, I probably won't update this more than once a month. I'd like to daily, but those of you that have known me a while know that's not the kind of guy I am(Yet!). I'll try to improve.

This is Megan Anna's first tennis match of the year. She and her partner made it to the second round but were eliminated. They came back from two sets to nill, but couldn't win the fifth. All and all it was a good start for her(She's the beauty on the right.).

Our Language school, WORLD English Center (WEC) had a Barbeque for students and families at Kawarago Beach in Taga. To the left are ,from left to right, Jennifer Ball, WEC teacher, Tomoyuki, Mito student, Mark Chan, WEC teacher, and me. We barbequed, played beach volleyball, horshoes and swam in the ocean. The surf was deffinitely up as it is typhoon season here in Japan. I bought the grill just for the occasion. I even marinaded pork chops and steak in homade teriyaki sauce. Check out Mark's blog at http:/www.markandcharity.blogspot.com for a slide show and more pictures of the event.

Below is Jennifer again with Taiki, one of our students in Mayumi, and Erika. Taiki is also Eirka's classmate in the second grade.

Here is Erika and Kiara with two of our students from Seiji Kindergarten in Hitachi. They found the coolest place to be on the beach.
