July 1, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I think it is not going to rain on Sunday now. I want to make a BBQ party for you and your family. I really want your parents to come. Probably the party will be in the afternoon around 3 pm until the early evening. We are going to make teriyaki chicken, potato salad, and serve wine. We will purchase some fireworks for the Independence Day holiday. If you and your family can bring some other side dishes and beer it would be very nice. It seems like the Summer is going to finish soon. I spent many months working on this house.Send email when you can. Howie.

July 3, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I would like to tell everyone in your family to come between 2 and 3 pm tomorrow. The party can go into the evening. We are going to do the party even if it is raining. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 4, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I was happy to make a party for everyone this holiday. Even though it was not in America it made me feel very good to be around family and close friends. I begin to feel more and more I am in your family. Anytime everyone is laughing and happy. I want to be around you and your family. It would be nice to meet tonight. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 5, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I am going to try to meet with you then. I am a little drunk and extremely tired. Recently I cannot sleep. I am up in the middle of the night working. Today was very hot again. Compared to San Diego this is a very difficult place. Anyway need to take a shower and relax a little bit. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 5, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I was asleep and woke up now because of itching. Really not sure if I can do another Summer in Japan. The problem is I am very active and like to be outside. Then I really get many mosquito bites. Many Japanese people stay in the house much of the Summer and it is not a problem. In San Diego the temperatures are nice the entire year and no mosquitos. In thirty years in San Diego no mosquito bites. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 5, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I really wanted to see you last night. Was really not feeling good. Hopefully you can understand. Decided to take kusuri for my legs and was able to sleep the entire night. My energy is better today and I am going to do the last difficult project in the house. I need to take out the kitchen sink and cabinet and fill holes in the floor to keep bugs from entering the house. It will take until tonight. I really want to do many things with you. I want to be close with you in many ways. I want to do business with you. I really want to see you. Planning to begin working soon. It would be nice if you can send email when you are on the train. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 5, 2010 - Email Message - Recently sleeping only a few hours every night because of mosquito bites and warm. Can barely work in the house now. Can try and meet another night this week. Send email when you can.



July 6, 2010 - Email Message - Jim. Hi. I wanted to chat with you guys but got caught up in house repairs again. There was a cockroach in the kitchen. There is a space in the floor behind the sink. Was supposed to be an end of the Summer project. Akiko did not see the cockroach but kinda freaked out to know it was in the house. Decided to do the project this week. Anyway made an awesome fourth of July party with the family and neighbors. Tons of fun and we did fireworks in the street. Planning to post pictures soon. Hopefully you guys are doing incredibly good. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 6, 2010 - Email Message - Actually I cannot understand the words. It seems like the girl is free from getting married. She seems happy to be free of the wedding dress and being confined to a future she does not want. Maybe completely different meaning but it is my thinking from only looking at the video. Waiting for you to send email now.

July 6, 2010 - Email Message - Probably on Saturday but not sure now. Akiko is planning to go shopping with the family to get something for the baby. No doubt I am jamma and not going to go with. Tell me if you can come.
- Email Message - Hey Dad. I wish I could move into the room! I'm going to SDSU this semester. I don't know anyone that's moving out right now. Aileen's cousin might be interested, but I'm not sure yet. The weather's been weird here lately. It's been kind of cold. We've also had more earthquakes. How's everything in Japan? I love you and miss you a lot. Love, Valerie.

July 8, 2010 - Email Message - Jim. Hi. I am actually getting this place finished up now. A few difficult projects to be worked on after Summer but for now small detailed work only needs to be finished. Friends said SD is not warm this year. Maybe global cooling. Anyway me and Akiko will be doing a party for Shai on the 24th in Japan. Will send more information about this but would be really cool if you guys could chat and join us. Hopefully you are all doing well. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 8, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I am working on the kitchen this week. I took out all the cabinets and put in new wood and concrete. Then caulking all the holes in the walls. Today put in cabinets for dishes and cups. Again my back is not good. Took many kusuri today and then could work. Tonight back is not good and drunk to make it feel better. It is difficult but house almost finished for now. From next week can be free to do many things. Want to teach English and work out. Want to go to many Japanese festivals. Many things to talk with you about. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 8, 2010 - Email Message - Today the keisatsu make me pull off the road.

July 8, 2010 - Email Message - Went through the railroad tracks very quickly without waiting to look for train.

July 8, 2010 - Email Message - No because I was speaking only English. Probably they were mendou kusai to deal with me. They said to watch it next time and let me go home. Maybe you think it is funny.

July 8, 2010 - Email Message - Hi. I actually was awake the entire night. I could finish painting the kitchen. I then shaved off all of my hair. A few more things to do in the house and then free.

- Happy Anniversary. Yup, today is the seven month anniversary since we purchased this piece of crap property. With the exception of a few flooring projects scheduled for after Summer when temperatures are cooler, much of the work is now finished. All the rooms are usable and looking pretty good. I plan to post tons of pictures showing the progress over the last few months. It might take some time to set this all up so hang in there.
July 12, 2010 - Email Message - Ayumi. Hi. I am doing good. A bit of a back problem this week but getting better. Today is seven months since I bought the house. Basically finished for now with a few projects coming up at the end of the Summer to make this place more comfortable during the cooler months. Today me and Akiko took Shai to this free community thingy for kids. It was really fun. Tons of housewives and lots of tits to look at. Yup, I am a guy for sure. Began working out again today. Already looking good because of work on the house but planning to get in really good condition if possible. Then going to promote my home improvement stuff to the TV stations and see if I can become famous. Began promoting the school today. Getting lots of veggies from the garden and making lots of new friends for the little dude. Planning an American style birthday party for him on the 24th of this month. Things are going good with the wife now. Things are also going good with the GF now. Akiko pretty much knows about it but excepts everything and is happy with her stylish house and the fact I am going to be working now. She really is a typical Japanese wife. Getting plenty of sex now and happy. Planning to being studying Japanese from now. Should make it much easier to be on TV. This is the news for now. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 12, 2010 - Email Message - Nobumitsusan. Hi. Akiko and I want to thank you for the wonderful gifts. We want to know more about your vacation. I am very sorry for not sending email recently. I was very sick with bronchitis for a few weeks. Then my back was bad from a week ago. Still now it is not good. I tried to work on the house but could not do many things. We are opening the school soon but already four months late. It is very terrible about your car hitting the pole. We would like to pay to repair the damage when you can. We are going to look for a good place to repair it. Let us know when is convenient for you. I am not online much these days but will check email every day from now and look for your email. Please send email when you can. Thank you again. Howie.

July 13, 2010 - Email Message - Now working out every day.

July 13, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I really cannot believe all this rain today. Now my garden is a mess and need to go out and do some work. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 14, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I am wondering if you are on the train. Maybe you are still working. I worked on the house this afternoon. My back is a mess again. Going to relax and drink tonight as usual. Planning to be online. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 15, 2010 - Email Message - Hey I really want to go but Akiko is going out for the day for job interviews. I am going to be with Shai then. I can go out with you another day if you want.

July 15, 2010 - Email Message - Marilyn. Hey we found a Japanese engineering graduate student who will be renting our place in San Diego for a couple months and plans to arrive at the condo tomorrow. Yeah pretty incredible being in Japan for sure. Spent over half a year working on this piece of crap house which now looks nothing like when I purchased it. Probably going to be in Japan for quite some time. Getting ready to go back into business again with the English school. Many new friends in the neighborhood and definitely relaxing being in Japan. America continues to get more and more crazy especially San Diego these days. Happy to be in the countryside with things very simple every day. Tons of rain recently though wreaking havoc on the garden. Akiko and I will be making a party for Shai next week as he becomes a year old. Anyway you already know you and your family are welcome to visit and stay with us anytime. Interested to know what you are doing these days. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 15, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I wanted to make some comments concerning the email you sent about Ayumi last night. I think you need to consider a few things. Ayumi is basically a very nice person. She already obtained a masters degree in business and is a very good worker. The fact she really likes sex is simply her personality and a way she can relax. I think sex is not important to you and maybe you cannot understand about this. For example you are a smoker. It is expensive and not good for you and others around you but you continue anyway. I am very against smoking but try not to judge you. Everyone does something to get them though every day. Existence is difficult for many people and they do things to make it easier for them. Would be nice if you could understand this. I want to know your thinking. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 16, 2010 - Email Message - Mary Ellen. Hi. I am mega drunk tonight. Was working in the neighbor yard again. Akiko and Shai are probably asleep now. Getting ready to begin the school. Any chance to actually chat with you guys. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 20, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. HI. I was happy to see you last night. I am really not doing good today though. I was planning to do many things in the house today. Then I decided to make a small fire in the neighbors yard to get rid of some old tatami which was sitting in front of the car. Me and Akiko were talking to the neighbor. Then the wind became stronger and made a fire in the main pile of wood and grass. Spent the entire afternoon trying to get rid of the tatami and other things. Really exhausted now. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 20, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I am feeling much better today. I went shopping and now home. Now Akiko and a friend are watching the kids playing. It is very hot outside. Really working on getting the house ready for the party. It will be very fun. I am really really really really happy you are coming. Send email when you can. Howie.
- Earthquake. Rock and roll. The quake, which occurred at 6:19 in the morning local time, measured 5.0 and was enough to wake us up and throw the Einstein coffee cups off the shelves in the second floor classroom. The roof of the newly constructed outside laundry room was shaking pretty good.
July 21, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I was able to finish the yard today. Really not feeling good again. Was watching a good movie and was sleeping. I am going to do some light work in the house tomorrow. I am looking forward to the party. I want to see you again. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 22, 2010 - Email Message - Jim. Hi. I am wondering if you guys wanna chat during the birthday party for Shai coming up. It would begin at 9pm on Friday night your time. We were thinking of leaving the computer on and you guys could come and watch anytime. This will be an American style party. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 22, 2010 - Email Message - Ayumi. Hi. I am getting the house ready for an American style birthday party. Akiko and I went shopping and bought tons of stuff for the party for Shai this weekend. Actually he will turn one years old on Friday. Pretty much the house is finished at least for now. It is really comfortable and really nice. Wanted you to come to the party but some things cannot go the way you want. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 22, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I want you to do what is going to make you happy. You are very important to me but your happiness is more important to me. If you cannot come then going to keep the party going until late at night and maybe you can come and I can see you. Many people cannot come. It is sad but shoganai thing. Really not feeling good recently but spending a lot of time preparing for the party. I really want everyone in your family to come. Send email about this now if you can. Howie.

July 22, 2010 - Email Message - Now my elbow is not good. It is difficult to use the mouse on the computer. I need to do many things in the house before the weekend. I am not going to give up and still going to do a lot of work. I really want to see you again.
- Shai's Birthday at our house. This party was for only us.Shai became a year old today.
Happy Birthday to you.
Yeah cake.
Go ahead and make a mess.
July 23, 2010 - Email Message - Now Akiko and the parents are in the house. It was a difficult day again.

July 23, 2010 - Email Message - Yeah it seems like many people are not coming. I think the party was not a good idea actually. I am getting tired of being in Japan.

July 23, 2010 - Email Message - No it is time to make a new plan. I can stay in Japan for three years. It will be a good experience. I am going to focus on making money and then sell the house and move back home in a few years.

July 23, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I am reading your email now. Anyone is welcome to come. Maybe you can come early and drink together. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 24, 2010 - Email Message - Jim, Linda. Hi. Me and Akiko were really happy to chat with you guys during the party. Hey sorry about all the noise. There were actually 22 people going in and out of this small house. Shai really seemed to enjoy himself. Anyway it is almost 100 degrees today and we are all really uncomfortable. Definitely hoping to make some money and move back to SD within the next few years. Send email when you can. Howie, Akiko.

July 24, 2010 - Email Message - Hey I am wondering if you and your family want to get together again tonight for an early dinner. There is some extra chicken for the BBQ. There is also a lot of extra dessert. Maybe we could do a pot luck. Send email and tell me if you want to do this.

July 25, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I was happy to see you last night. I was quiet because of thinking about many things. I came to Japan and put a lot of effort into the house to make a good situation. I thought things would be good. I wanted a good situation with Akiko and the family but things are really not working. Akiko is not happy. From now I am going to focus on career and personal things. I want to spend more time with you. I want you to teach Japanese to me and then I can be successful and stay in Japan onegai shimasu. Really I am thinking about you more and more. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 26, 2010 - Email Message - Hi. I wanted send email to you before getting into the morning routine. I am working out every day now. It will not be easy for the next couple weeks. I need to get used to it again. I want to set some times when you and I can study together. It would be nice if you can send email when you are on the train. I am thinking about you. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 26, 2010 - Email Message - Hi. I am really happy you want to teach Japanese. I can easily learn on my own but it is a good reason for us to meet. I want to see you and it is a good way to explain our meeting. I can meet you at your house. I can ride the bike and then we can drink a little together. It will be nice to spend time with your family. We can find a good time during the week which is convenient for you. Maybe an evening every week. Possibly the weekend. I went hiking this week and plan to go again this afternoon. I am working out a lot now including bike riding. I am thinking about you. Send email when you can. Howie.

July 27, 2010 - Email Message - Ikuko. Hi. I am going hiking at a local mountain now. Going to send email to you tonight. I am thinking about you. Send email when you can. Howie.

Shai really enjoyed himself.
- Nara Park Light Up Event (Tokae). This is the fifth time to stay in Japan but the first time to go to this event. Called Tokae, this nighttime event features the lighting of 10,000 candles throughout Nara Park with a stage at one end of the park where a jazz band performed. As usual many yatai (food stalls) were set up selling anything from takoyaki (fried octopus) to French fries. Nice event, but while eating, spent half of the time pushing away a few of the estimated 1,200 deer roaming the park looking for an easy meal.
July 31, 2010 - Email Message - Really fun. I know Akiko was really happy because I pretty much do everything. It is easy for her anytime. For sure it was fun for Shai. He was really good. Met many new people and took lots of pictures. Going to post them online and you can see them.

July 31, 2010 - Email Message - Tonight I purchased beer from a vending machine close to the fireworks. Now I am drinking wine. I want you to see the pictures.

July 31, 2010 - Email Message - It was the next station after Sakurai. Was drinking a few beers really early. Then ate a lot of food. Was not drunk at all when driving tonight.

July 31, 2010 - Email Message - Yes. Today I was staining wood upstairs. Planning to finish tomorrow. The classroom is looking really good now. I am going to begin teaching soon. I want you and your family to come to the classes. I can begin teaching you for free until actual students begin coming. It will be fun for you guys and good practice for me now. I am a member of an online education site. I am planning to set up the camera while I am teaching to let the students join the class for free. They can only listen though and not participate. This is why the classes will be free for the online students. When I become more popular on the education site then can get money from the students. Can set a schedule for you guys to come every week. Maybe the weekend is better. Anyway working on the site while sending you email. It might take a few minutes to send email to you. Want you to wait anytime if you can.
