Hi. We really want to thank you for hosting the baby shower. It was very nice
and everyone really enjoyed themselves. I posted about it on my site along with
some other stuff over the last few days. Let us know a good night when you guys
can come to our place for dinner or maybe even a Thursday morning breakfast.
Send email when you can. Thank you again.
Howie, Akiko.

Hi. I am not sure if I can agree with you. Many times people talk themselves
into thinking a situation is what they need to do even though it is really what
they want and not really what is good for them. Yup, change can be difficult but
sometimes needed. Akiko and I decided to move to Japan because we gave SD and
California a chance and things were not working out. Someday if you can ever
open your eyes and look past the guys and the nice sunny days, you will
eventually realize what California is all about. Basically fake, self centered
people who only give a crap about themselves and what they can get from you.
California is headed for some real problems in a few years. Definitely will
explain when we meet. Send email when you can.

Hi. I am going to send email about walking but most likely will be next week.
They changed the forecast and still going to be warm. Now doing ten kilometers

Hi. Akiko and I were out shopping much of today. We began walking together every
morning. Kinda tired and planning to spend a quiet weekend together at home.
Everyone is wiped out from these temperatures and next week would be much better
for us and we could bring food over to your place. Anyway, enjoy the weekend.
Talk to you again.
Howie.

Hi. Actually we looked at swings today and we decided against it for a number of
reasons. Anything we purchase now, we need to return in less than three months.
Now the baby is much better. We are walking every morning for about two hours
and it seems the fresh air is really good for him. In addition, we switched
formula to soy and it made an incredible difference in his disposition. With
cooler temperatures on the way, things should get even better.
Anyway, we bought a bunch of holiday food and Japanese beer today. Akiko and I
plan to spend a much needed few days in the house relaxing. Been throwing out a
bag of trash per day and after Monday really need to get moving on um, moving.
Definitely make some time to get together next week. Send email when you can.
Howie.

Hi. I really am not sure what to say to you anymore. Akiko and I pretty much
thought you were not going to come to the baby shower but the least you could do
is be courteous enough to contact the hosts. You are also making no effort to
spend time with your brother. Really disappointed with you. No doubt you will
come up with some excuses but the fact is you will be even busier when school
begins and quite honestly it seems like there is no interest in any of us at
this point. No more lecturing from now on. You can feel all the regret later on
when you get older and realize all the mistakes you are making now.
Anyway, I am now sorting and tossing tons of stuff. Many things you might be
interested to see but not sure. You need to let me know if you want anything
from when you were a kid. Things such as your bike helmet, cards, pictures, and
other stuff. I am keeping things received from you and other things important to
me from the past. Now you are older and it is up to you to make the decision
about your things.
This move to Japan will be for quite a few years and need to minimize the amount
of things in this place.
I need to know if you want the truck. It will be sold either way in a few
months.
I need to know if you plan to move into the small room I built in the condo. If
you cannot make a decision soon then the option will go away.
Send email about all this if you want.
Dad.

Hi. I am not even sure what to say to you anymore. I give up already. There is a
lot of stuff from the past in the condo. This is taking a lot of time to sort
and delaying the move to Japan. If you do not reply then simply going to throw
everything in a container with your name on it and you can pick it up after
Akiko and I move. Really pisses me off you can find the time to play idiotic
games on Facebook but cannot even bother to reply or see your brother. No
excuses necessary from you anymore. Your actions say it all. Talk to you
someday. Until then.
Dad.

Hi. We really enjoyed ourselves last night. Thank you very much. Kinda sucks
Buffalo managed to screw up the game but only the beginning of the season.
Anyway, I was wondering if this Thursday it would be possible to come over
sometime during the day to put the stuff in your garden. Anytime works for us.
Will need a few garden tools and would happy to work on the yard on the side of
your house. Let us know if this works. Send email when you can. Thanks again.
Howie, Akiko.

Hi. Akiko and I continue to prepare for moving. Actually I am preparing for the
move and Akiko is pretty much watching the baby. Anyway, it seems like ages
since we all met. This month is busy but next month is mostly free to meet.
Really not using the Internet or email much these days and decided to sit and
finally get back in contact with everyone. No doubt you guys enjoyed your trip.
The baby shower was really nice. Anyway, back to sorting, tossing, and packing.
Send email when you can.

Hi. I was happy and sad to receive the email you wrote. Kinda figured many
issues were unsettled and things are even more difficult for you now. I can only
speculate what is going on in your head because you will not talk. Your type is
not easy anytime. Akiko is the same as you and keeps things in. You know you can
come up and talk anytime. It would be nice to go through your stuff together but
I cannot rely on you to keep your word and come up. We are leaving in a couple
months and everything really needs to be finished this time since we are not
planning to come back for a few years. Many things should and could be different
with you and me if you would simply give it a chance. If you continue to push
everyone away you will be very unhappy years from now. You know I love you and I
am there for you anytime but you need to make some effort. Hopefully you will
come to Japan and stay with us for a long time and maybe things can be better.
This is all up to you. Send email when you can.
Dad.

Hi. We really want to thank you for last night. The food was very good as usual
and we really enjoyed ourselves. This morning was pretty much back to usual with
hand laundry and looking after the little dude. Getting ready for next week and
the warmer temperatures. Planning to finish up a few house projects since
everything should dry quickly due to the low humidity. Let us know when you want
to get together again. Thank you again.
Howie, Akiko.

Hi. I want to invite you for dinner on your special day tomorrow. Know you are
not going to come but thought it was worth trying. You forgot about the New Year
again. Anyway, pretty sad things are turning out this way. Need to say though,
you certainly were a cute kid. Now transferring the old videos from the tapes to
the computer. Will be taking them to Japan and posting some of them on my site.
You can see all the fun you and I used to enjoy together. If you do want to
come, send email. No plans to go out tomorrow but will take Akiko shopping and
get a nice dinner if you decide to join us. Your little brother wants to see
you. Send email when you can.

Hi. I was not expecting to get email from you. Happy Birthday. Anyway, we are
going to the Mission Trails visitors center for the afternoon to get out of
these crazy temperatures. You can come up if you read this and wanna spend time
with us. Me, Akiko, and Shai went shopping and bought plenty of food for you. We
should be at the visitors center and then home again around 4:00 pm. Come up if
you want.

Hi. Another busy couple days. We made our reservations for Japan and many other
things to tell you. Wanna know if we are still on for Thursday. Probably will
take a few hours for the yard work and was wondering if you wanna make it a
lunch or dinner or both or maybe we could stay through the weekend. Kidding.
Anyway, send email when you can.
