On his way to the ring...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is my distinct honor to have now been added as a contributor to Phoenix's Aerie. Since I seem to be so much better at keeping up with other people's projects rather than my own, I hope to post here somewhat frequently.

Soon this place will be as hopping as my YouTube channel, "MessagesFromEarth" where 54 souls regularly tune in to watch as I appear drunk and insane. Which I'm not. Well, not drunk at least...

Anyway, in the near future I'll be writing about what a typical week looks like for me which includes going to school, the BOE, train rides, lunch with kids, and the weekends. Keep a lookout as Robin and I will both be keeping up here now that we've settled in to life in Japan.

Just Checking

Hey I was wondering if anyone was actually checking up on me through this blog. If you are please comment to this post so that I will know that I should get my act together and post more often.

I miss home some still, but this is beginning to feel more like home now. I started a Japanese class last night at the board of ed here in Kagoshima. Some of what I had learned in college began to come back to me. I think it will be a really good class and the teacher seems like she's going to make her explanations pretty easy to follow. Well that's all for now because its time to make dinner!
