Story
2009
A
year of change. Almost bought a house in New York State. Then permanently moved
to Japan.https://lh3.ggpht.com/_PlRHkDqe3w8/ShrOjhTSPWI/AAAAAAAANPI/ankFNIHJNjE/s288/IMG_2778.JPG" WIDTH="288" HEIGHT="216" class="graphicborder" >May 2009
This was a pretty quiet and nice month. We went to the
annual Food Fair in Balboa park. We went fishing a bunch of
times. Basically we were hanging out and relaxing. |
June 2009
This was a crazy month. We tried to purchase a house in
Japan and ended up fighting with relatives because of
discrimination, specifically buraku issues.We went fishing a
lot. We celebrated our wedding anniversary. Another couple
months before the baby is born. |
July
2009
Shai was born on the 23th of this month. Akiko was relieved
to be finished with pregnancy and to begin looking after our baby. Jim and Linda
were incredibly helpful and kind over the last few months. A name for Shai was
finally decided on. We went fishing and decided to purchase a house in Grand
Island, New York. |
August 2009
This was a really busy month. It was pretty hot for awhile
and we spent a lot of time on the coast fishing. Jim and
Linda hosted a wonderful baby shower for us. Shai was able
to experience a meteor shower and a Buffalo Bills football
game. |
November 2009 Parties
We spent the month saying goodbye for now to our friends in
San Diego. We made many fun dinner parties since this was
our last month in San Diego before moving to Japan. |
December 2009
This month we put in an offer on the house which was
accepted. Thus began something more or less equivalent to
escrow. We hung out with friends and went out for sushi. We
celebrated Hanukah with Shai. We went to Nara Park and
visited some old temples. |

Hey
Friends
Now 2026 and I decided to try and complete a couple of projects that I wanted to
do for years. The first is to delete all old and unwanted information from my
computer files. The second is to go through old pictures (the kind on film), and
match them up with dates from information contained in these files. I was going
to delete a lot of these files, such as taxes, receipts, and checking account
information, but then I realized this information would be invaluable for dating
the pictures. In addition, my kids said they are really interested in my stories
and other stuff from back in the day. Anyway, it was simply easier to put all of
this information in one place, this blog. Pretty boring for those of you who
found this page....please read or ignore at your discretion. |
