April 1, 2010 - Email Message - Joe. Hi. We sold the Toyota 4Runner. Please cancel the insurance ASAP. Hopefully you are doing well. Send email when you can. Thanks. Howie.

April 1, 2010 - Email Message - Hey Girls. I am planning to stay in for the next couple days. Want to be alone and think. Hopefully you both understand. Will be online tonight but taking tomorrow off the computer. Send email when you can.

April 1, 2010 - Email Message - Marilyn. Hi. I really need you to do a favor for me and Akiko. Now we are online and can contact everyone except our friend Paula. She does not use the computer. You met her when you went to the baby shower. Please call her for us at xxx-xxxx. I want you to tell her the following. We apologize for not contacting her over the last few months. Tell her we went through a very difficult time and in fact several times I almost returned home. We will send our address next month and be in more constant contact. Thank you very much for doing this for us. Send email when you can. Howie, Akiko.

April 1, 2010 - Email Message - Hey Girl. Really enjoyed talking with you too. Much nicer to actually meet though. No plan but a lot of thinking now. Going to eat and drink soon. Going to try and send longer email to you tonight if not drunk. Last night was a couple bottles and probably same tonight. Keep smiling. Send email when you can.

April 1, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I am drinking a lot tonight and very long conversation with Akiko. Maybe I am going to leave and teach abroad for a few months. We are going to wait to make the school in the house until we can make a decision. Now my English site is very famous and I can use it as a base to get a good job abroad. I need to finish the house before leaving though. I am going to see if you send email tonight. Send email when you can. Howie.

April 1, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I am going to be fifty from tomorrow. I am taking a day to be alone. It is difficult time for me. You are an incredible woman. I can respect you. I am going to be off the Internet for a day. Please understand. Then you and I can meet and talk again. Please wait for me. I want you to dream of beautiful things. Good night. Talk to you again. Howie.

April 1, 2010 - Email Message - Wrote to Ikuko that I was really thinking about leaving Japan for a few months and then coming back.

April 1, 2010 7:35 am - Email Message - Valerie. Hi. I want you to be the last email I send before turning fifty in about thirty minutes. I am drunk to get through this time. I want you to know you are in my thoughts all the time. You cannot possibly know your importance to me. Anytime I am worrying about and hoping you and I can be together again as a family. I am there for you anytime. You need to always know this. I love you and miss you very much. Send email when you can. Love, Dad.

April 2, 2010 - Email Message - Jim. Hi. I turned fifty and spent the day with Akiko and Shai at home. Posted about it on my site. Send email when you can. Howie.

April 2, 2010 - Email Message - Linda. Hi. I turned fifty and spent the day with Akiko and Shai at home. Posted about it on my site. Send email when you can. Howie.

- Shai is Really Sick Now. Since yesterday Shai began running a fever and is really sick now. We took him to get checked and it turns out he has some kind of virus. He was prescribed three different types of medication. Hopefully he will feel much better soon. It really sucks seeing your kids sick. They cannot tell you what is wrong. They can only be miserable. Pretty sad.
April 3, 2010 - Email Message - Jim. Hi. Quite a week this was. Shai is really sick now. Akiko and I took him to be checked and it turned out he has some type of virus. He threw up on me and I thought it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to send email. We gave him a fever reducer and other stuff now and hopefully he will feel much better tomorrow. Send email when you can. Howie.

April 3, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I made it through the last couple days. Spent a lot of time reflecting and thinking. Now Shai is very sick. Akiko and I took him to get checked today and he has a virus. He has been running a fever and he threw up on me which is really unusual. Maybe he will be a little better tomorrow. Anyway, hopefully you are both doing well. Already know the dude returned home this weekend. Please say hi to him. Been thinking of you both and miss talking to you. Planning to do some work outside tomorrow. It would be nice to talk again. Send email when you can. Howie

April 3, 2010 - Email Message - Jim. Hi. I am getting ready to work on the house as usual but wanted to give you an update. Shai is much better today. It is supposed to get warmer this week and this should make a difference. Akiko really wants to work and will most like begin looking for a job within the next couple weeks. No doubt you are enjoying the warm SD temperatures. There is a chance we might not be able to chat tomorrow. Send email when you can. Howie.

April 3, 2010 - Email Message - Ayumi. Hi. Quite a week this was. Shai is really sick now. Akiko and I took him to be checked and it turned out he has some type of virus. He threw up on me and I thought it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to send email. We gave him a fever reducer and other stuff now and hopefully he will feel much better tomorrow. Really not trying to be picky but you did not send anything the other day. Turned fifty now. Send email when you can. Howie.

April 3, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I am actually beginning to get back to normal after spending the last couple days reflecting and thinking. My back continues to be a problem though. Now Shai is not feeling well and much of my attention is going to him. Akiko and I were able to talk about many things and is seems mostly she wants to be more independent. She wants to go out and work full time. She is not the type who likes to depend on anyone. Actually I am the same but like it if someone wants to depend on me. With other girlfriends many of them depended on my for many things. I worked well because of same thinking. Akiko likes to be alone and thinks much differently. We are going to see if things get better once she is working again. I am going to stay and beginning next week going to really work towards getting the house finished, especially the classroom. Many changes coming. Send email when you can. Howie.

April 3, 2010 - Email Message - Linda. Hi. I am getting ready to work on the house as usual but wanted to give you an update. Shai is much better today.

April 4, 2010 - Email Message - Jim, Linda. Hi. I agree next week will be better for chatting. The little dude is much better tonight and acting as usual. Japan is getting warmer and finishing up many projects. Really hoping to get the school going the end of this month. Many students waiting. Send email when you can. Howie, Akiko, Shai.

April 4, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi I really really really really enjoyed seeing you and talking with you today. I know you need to work tomorrow but hopefully you can find the time to send a long email when you return home. Until then. Howie.

April 5, 2010 - Email Message - Valerie. Hi. I am really happy you told me about this. No news about it in Japan. Was working on the house and not online though. I am relieved you are fine of course. Yeah totally understand about the coolness factor and scary thingy. Spent this week trying to work on the house even with back problems. Might be finished with most of the projects this month but not sure. Let me know if you can chat soon. It would really reduce the distance between us. Your brother is really sick this week with a fever and some kind of virus. A bit better tonight though. Akiko will be getting a job soon. She kinda reached her limit being home all the time. I love you and miss you. Send email when you can. Dad.

April 5, 2010 - Email Message - Mayumi. Hi. I want to send email tonight. Nothing much happening. Been working on the house as usual. Really tired though. Akiko is looking after Shai. He is still not feeling good. Send email when you can. Howie.

April 5, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I wanted to see you today. I was working upstairs. A few times I was sure you were outside. I went to look but you were not there. Send email when you can. Howie

April 5, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. Today was kind of difficult. Tonight drinking a full bottle of wine. Was working outside in the back and front. Then working on the hallway upstairs. My back is not good again but kept working until the evening. I want to finish the house projects. I want to see you and talk with you. I want you to ask any question about me if you want. Even a very personal question is good. Send email when you can. Howie.

April 5, 2010 - Email Message - Actually I am still waiting for you to answer the question directly. Want to know what you feel about me now.

April 6, 2010 - Email Message - Jim. Hi. Me and Akiko found bees in the house. Yuk. Send email when you can. Howie.

April 6, 2010 - Email Message - Linda. Hi. Me and Akiko found bees in the house. Yuk. Send email when you can. Howie.

April 6, 2010 - Email Message - Mayumi. Hi. I am drunk now. Akiko is sleeping on the couch. The BEE problem sucks. Do not want fucking bees in the house. It sucks. This house is a piece of shit but I like the house anyway, and I like the neighborhood and I really like my new friends like you and Ikuko. Even with all the problems, I can be happy in this place. Send email when you can. Howie.

April 6, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I woke up today at 2:30 am. Shai was not feeling well. Akiko and I spent an hour making him feel better and sleep again. Then we ate breakfast. At around 4:00 am began painting. Then I waited for a long time on the veranda with my camera waiting for the sunrise. It was very beautiful. I thought about you. I think you would enjoy watching the sunrise together for sure. Then I made over 100 kg of concrete in the back. Then I was painting again. Then found bees in the house. It is awful for me. Then my back was problem again. Maybe if you touch my back it is better. I am wondering if you are good for working on my back. I can give you something back you want if you do this. I am not sure where you can do this to me if you want. I was drinking a lot tonight. Send email when you can. Howie.

April 7, 2010 - Email Message - Jim. Hi. Me and Akiko thought there was a roof leak which turns out to honey seeping in through the ceiling. It warmed up the other day and all the bees residing in the roof woke up and were all over the yard. They want about $500 to come out. Today was not warm and the bees were sleeping. Then I took off the outside wood and sprayed. Should be interesting to see what transpires when it warms up again this week. More house fun. Send email when you can. Howie.

April 7, 2010 - Email Message - Hi. I read your email from before. I agree with you. This is exciting. Recently I am thinking about you throughout the day. You asked about today. Need to take out a tree because of the bees. Then I worked on the front yard. Then I washed the wall in the back of the house. I am preparing to build a new room. Then I sprayed the bees with a chemical. Tell me about your day. Now drinking and waiting for you to send email again.

April 8, 2010 - Email Message - Jim. Hi. Now Japan is getting much warmer and we are spending much more time outside. This weekend me and Akiko are taking Shai up to the mountains for cherry blossom viewing. Hopefully you are all doing well. Send email when you can. Howie.

April 8, 2010 - Email Message - Jim. Hi. I kinda blasted them with spray. Really di not want to but because of Akiko and Shai no choice. Really want to be able to use the front yard. It seems like the problem is going to go away. Still need to take out some of the ceiling to see the extent of the hive. Yuk for sure. Anyway, enjoy the tournament. What the heck are you doing up at this hour. Must be an old guy thing. Kidding. Actually completely understand. Talk to you again. Howie.

April 8, 2010 - Email Message - Jim. Yeah totally understand. Been working on the house every day and lost a lot of weight. Now sleeping really good and even hair is growing back a lot. This is like a dream to be in the countryside of another country with not much to worry about. I think about you guys often. Even though really happy in Japan we miss you guys a lot. Hopefully we can all meet soon. Thank goodness for the Internet. At least we can talk and see your faces. Send email when you can.

April 8, 2010 - Email Message - Actually they come to look at the line without calling. It was the same for us. They will call you when they need to come into your house to install the line. It will be very cool when you get the Internet soon.

April 9, 2010 - Email Message - Jim. Hi. I spent the last couple days working on the laundry room for Akiko. Trying to at least finish the outside framing and boards today. Supposed to get tons of rain on Monday. Tomorrow we are going up to the mountains to see the cherry blossoms. It is called hanami in Japanese which means flower viewing.

April 11, 2010 - Email Message - Hey girls. Really wanted to see both of you and eat oyatsu but not sure what it is. Actually we were not home from early this morning until the evening. We went to Yoshino to see the cherry blossoms. We walked and took the train in order to drink alcohol. Then the family came back to the house for dinner. Going to eat cookies and tea and then online again. Send email when you can.

April 11, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. Yup I went to see the cherry blossoms today. It was very beautiful. I drank a lot of beer and ate a lot of food. Then I went to sleep in the grass. Really tired and going to sleep after sending this email. I walked up the mountain pushing the stroller and carrying all the food and other things in my backpack. I walked many miles today. The room in the back took a couple of days to build. It is not finished but good enough for laundry for now. Tomorrow the bee guy is coming. It will be raining.

Maybe you and I could do language exchange at your house. Would mean more time together to talk. Send email and tell me what you think.

April 12, 2010 - Email Message - Hey it is a really important question. Prefer to talk to you directly about all this and not in email. It is difficult to find private time to talk with you. The time will come for you and I to talk for sure. For now you and I can talk other things online. Tell me if this is good for you. Going to drink tea and eat cookies then back online. Send email when you can.

April 12, 2010 - Email Message - No, it is easy for me to look after baby anytime. I am not a typical man. Can do things other men cannot do. Want you to understand about this.

April 13, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I want to tell you many things but it is difficult in email. Many miscommunications are possible. Want to you wait until you and I get the chance to talk. Then going to answer your questions. Send email when you can. Howie

April 20, 2010 - Email Message - Marilyn. Hi. Akiko and I want to say Happy Birthday to you. Recently we are not on the Internet much since we are very busy. Akiko is looking after the baby and I continue to work on this house every day from the morning until night. Recently the temperatures warmed up and we found tons of bees in the house. We needed to pay about 400 dollars and even though the company came out four times already, the bees are still around. We were wondering if you guys set up the camera on your computer. Maybe we could chat sometimes. Send email when you can. Howie.

April 21, 2010 - Email Message - You are very Genki now though I know you are very tired today. What's up today? You are most impressed man for me I have ever met.

April 23, 2010 - Email Message - Hi. I am really tired. My elbow is not good for many days. I am drunk again. I am trying to stay awake to talk with you. Send email when you can.

April 23, 2010 - Email Message - Wrote to Ikuko that the problems with Akiko continued. We were both miserable in Japan at this time and it greatly affected our marriage. I was feeding the baby and giving the baby a bath every night when finished working on house. Actually was messed up from yard work.  Actually family is everything for me. Akiko like the baby but could easily be without me. It is like I am not important for her. It is incredibly sad for me. Many times I am working a lot. She does not come to visit when I am working. She does not worry about me. Akiko does not realize she has a good situation.

April 23, 2010 - Email Message - Yes, I can understand very well. If I was you, maybe I thought same as your thinking. You are very good husband I think. Usually almost people become to have lazy day everyday if he is in the house all day. But you are defferent, you are not that man. So I respect you very much and envy Akiko. Ikuko.

April 27, 2010 - Email Message - Jim. Hi. I am happy you returned home. We were able to get rid of the bees this week finally. Pretty incredible story even for the bee company. Keep wanting to post about it but spending every day working on this freaking house. Akiko is planning to work soon. It would be nice to chat with you next week. Send email when you can. Howie.
