This is a story about an international couple raising and home educating three young boys on a small island in Japan, half living in buses, engaged in organic, self-sufficient farming in the middle of a mountain forest while dealing with climate, cultural, and personal challenges. These pages are about pretty much anything and everything all guided by our family motto, Taking Chances, Making Changes, Being Happy.

Hey now stuck in Korea because of snow. Went outside for a bit and then ate at a nice Korean restaurant. Met a bunch of finalists in the Miss University contest at a Korean cultural event. Rescheduled our tickets and received a bunch of meal coupons. Now hanging out waiting for the next flight and drinking American beer of all things. Gonna arrive in SD a couple hours late. Pretty fun.

Linda,



Happy Hannukah. I really cannot believe another year is almost finished. We wanted to send you guys something this year but got caught up working eight hours a day on the property, watching Shai a minimum of ten hours Monday thru Friday, and now trying to update all Internet projects before New Years. More difficult thanks to Facebook changing their comments application without telling site owners. Need to reinstall their script on every site page. Really exhausted and looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Probably Sunday our time is good for chat if you can. Akiko will be off end of this year and beginning of next for about a week.



Anyway in lieu of a present went and posted a testimonial on the home page of the SDCE site about your company. Hopefully this generates a few leads for you. Know you guys are busy but a little extra money is a good thing. Might be a good idea to offer a discount if they mention the SDCE site. Totally up to you of course. The site is redesigned and even the online Amazon store is looking better now. Take a look.

Hey. Wanted to let you guys know we met the owner of the adjacent property, real estate agent, and the equivalent of the county recorder today. It was a very formal meeting same as the last time. Took about an hour and a half with a lot of bowing and thanking. We paid a deposit and finished all the paperwork. Money is already wired and should arrive in a couple days. Then we officially purchased a two story house in Japan for only four thousand dollars. Incredible. Send email when you can.

Hi. I really want to thank you guys for the present you sent. Shai is really enjoying playing with the car. We were camping for three days and were not able to receive the package until yesterday and opened it early today.



Camping was a lot of fun but pretty tiring. Actually spent much of today sleeping. Really not feeling good these days and hoping to get better when things cool down a bit.



We put in a really low offer on the property next to us a couple weeks ago which the owners would not accept. They wanted to see if any others in this neighborhood would pay more. Then the agent contacted us and said the owners would accept the original offer. This property has been on the market for about four years at $48,000. Knowing the Japanese real estate market and the situation, we offered only $4000 stating we could use the property for parking. Now the owner accepted and it looks like we will purchase this property.



Hopefully all of you are doing good. Really want to meet and talk. Japan is really nice but tiring in many ways. Send email when you can.

Jim, Linda,



Hey guys. I really want to apologize for not writing sooner. Kind of a lot going on these days and rarely online.



We spent over 18 hours out on Sunday at the Gion Festival in Kyoto and then went shopping and out to eat in Osaka. Was really wiped out and now my knee is pretty messed up. Putting ice and taking it easy the next few days.



Cancelled classes this upcoming weekend in order to take Shai to the beach in Kobe. The train station is almost on the beach and easy to get to. This city has a nice Jewish community and a synagogue. We are thinking about moving there someday.



We put in an offer on the property next door last week. Still no word if the offer was accepted. The property was listed for $48,000. Recently the agent said the owners will accept almost any price now. In Japan houses retain almost little value over time. The house is over 30 years old and the value is only in the land. Japanese people do not remodel homes unless they plan to keep the property in the family for many years. This house is almost identical to ours without the back bedroom and second floor veranda. Actually three identical houses were built on a single lot. Because of this the house can be knocked down but not rebuilt. This is not a good selling point for the house as Japanese typically take out the house and build new. In addition the house is the middle house. Considering all this we offered $4000 which the agent thinks the owners might accept. We are planning to use the property for parking and possibly a bed and breakfast. It depends if I am able to work with Akiko. Recently we are doing more and more thinks separately including business.



The typhoon which was pretty strong before has pretty much fizzled out. Practically no rain and wind even though the storm is coming within a hundred miles of this house. Then temperatures will go back up towards the end of the week.



Shai will be two years old on the 23rd as you know. He is beginning to talk a lot now. Would be nice to chat soon like maybe Sunday. Hopefully you guys are doing good. Send email when you can.

Hi. I want to thank you for the seeds and the books. Shai is really enjoying all the flaps. Anyway I meant to tell you to send the seeds in a regular envelope. Japanese government inspected the package and included a note saying we need to get a phytosanitary certificate next time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytosanitary_certificate

Happily they allowed the seeds to go through. Already put them in the garden in a couple different spots to make sure we get some in the next few months. Recently we are involved in a party every weekends. Some at our house and others at neighbors house. We are getting a lot of rain recently and not even the official monsoon season. Really good for the garden and relaxing to listen to for sure. We are making a party this weekend. Might be fun to chat during the party. Supposed to be a typhoon headed this way. Hopefully you all are doing good. Send email when you can.

Hi. I wanna thank you for sending out the seeds for the garden. Could not find these at all in any of the stores. No need to send anything else unless you can fit both of you and send yourselves.



Answering some of your questions from previous emails.



Yes they do celebrate many of the same holidays in Japan as in America. Akiko wants to thank you for the nice email you sent last weekend.



This house is listed for sale but not specifically in Tokyo. It is on the Internet though. No bites on the house and not really expecting any activity. We listed it for around 92,000 which is way too much for this location. Japanese people do not recognize remodeling as an option usually. They tend to knock down houses after 30 years and rebuild.



Things settled down recently and the situation with me and Akiko improved a lot. Still not perfect as in any marriage but definitely better.



Shai is talking like crazy now but not everything makes sense to us at least. No doubt he understands his own conversation.



My Internet business is really doing good now. Someone apparently recommended the English site on some popular site in Sri Lanka. Ad revenue on the sites was over 212 dollars for a day and then settled back down to around 50 per day. Planning to put a lot of new content soon. If the sites reach 100 per day then we are planning to move back to SD. Could be possible end of this year but more likely next Summer. Internet really is an incredible tool. It really seems like the industrial revolution all over again. An incredible basically unregulated opportunity.



We are supposed to receive the effects of a tropical storm the next few days. We should get around four inches of rain. Will be really good for the garden. Planning on relaxing in my new remodeled music and reading room and listening to the rain.



We really miss you guys. Send email when you can.

Hi guys. I wanted to send a Happy Hanukah email on the last day of the holiday. Akiko is sleeping. Shai is complaining. Candles are dwindling down in the kitchen. Needed to light the candles twice tonight to catch up. No idea it was Hanukah until I received email from Valerie informing me about the beginning of the holiday. Sure is early this year. Japan continues to be quite a struggle. Things are getting better but now the temperatures are hovering around 32 at night. Really looking forward to the day we are financially in the position to move back to SD again. Hopefully all is well with you guys. Send email when you can.

Hi. I trust you guys enjoyed Thanksgiving as usual. Really thought about you a lot and wanted to be with you for the holiday. Akiko really put in some effort and made as close to a traditional Thanksgiving dinner as was possible in Japan. Needed to substitute chicken for turkey though. Could purchase turkey online but mega expensive and way outside the budget. We made a party a couple days later with the usual crowd and a few new additions. It was lots of fun. Planning another party at the end of this month. Kind of an end of the year party which is traditional and companies in Japan. Should be quite a turnout.



Shai caught the flu a couple weeks ago. Akiko was sick for her usual couple hours only the other day. Now I am in with the flu this week. This climate really sucks but at least the house is comfortable this year from all the house repairs. Last night Shai threw up all over the blankets. I was doing laundry until 6 am to let Akiko sleep. It turns out she is taking the day off to take Shai and find out about his problem.



Anyway, we did not realize I can only use my international drivers license for a year in Japan. We thought it can be renewed indefinitely but the rules changed. Now good for only a year. Usually takes a few times to pass the written and driving tests. My license is good until the beginning of next month. Might be back to using the train until this all is straightened out.



Keep thinking about you guys visiting Japan. It really would be loads of fun. Send email when you can.

We realize the plan of coming to Japan is in the talking stages but we were pretty excited to even think about the possibility. You can take a look at the English Global Group school site. With everything set up now we plan to begin marketing for new students.



Wanted to talk to you about the SD site and completely forgot. Now the site is being spammed like crazy. These auto spam bots found the site. Akiko is going to install a new script which is the same as the United Nations site. This script is open source and free but tons of files. When finished there should be a really good event calendar and classifieds. Individual groups will be able to make there own profiles to promote their missions in detail. I want to set u p your advertising when this is all finished. Would be nice for you to make a promotional video. Some stuff to think about.

Akiko is getting much busier at work now. Shai caught a cold this week and is pretty much inside the last couple days.



Now much cooler in Japan. I spent the last couple weeks putting in plywood flooring in preparation for the finished flooring. Was able to finish the entry, kitchen, and bedroom. Planned on pulling off the paneling in the bedroom and paint only to discover there is nothing behind the paneling. Yup, an exterior wall, air space and paper thin paneling. Now need to spend the next couple weeks redoing the walls in the bedroom. Possible could chat early on Sunday our time like 8 am which would be around 4pm the day before your time.



Been watching football almost every night. Many good games this year but the bills really suck.



Anyway, send email when you can.

Hi. I wanted to give you an update. Akiko is working full time at an NPO in Nara Japan. She works from 9-5 Monday thru Friday. There is no weekend work and not any overtime which is unusual in Japan. She takes the bike to the train station which is about a 15 minute ride each way. Then she takes the train for about 15 minutes and then walks another 15 minutes to the job. We all get up around 5:30 and eat breakfast together. Now I am working out a couple hours in the morning. Akiko leaves at 8:00 am and I take Shai for a long walk in the farms. Then we spend the day together. In the afternoon I take him to a mountain where I used to go hiking a lot when I stayed in Japan for three months many years ago. It takes about 20 minutes to drive to the mountain. I usually go to the top a couple times which takes about an hour and a half. The trail is all asphalt and concrete and through the middle of a forest which means it is shaded and since it is pretty much the tallest mountain locally the breeze is incredible. Probably about 20 degrees cooler at the top. Anyway it is good for me and Akiko to be away from each other a lot now. It is also nice we are on a more normal schedule now. I am working on the school site and will be teaching in the house and online in the evenings and on the weekends. When the money is good enough then Akiko will quit her job. Anyway kinda need a few things when you send the package if not already sent. Can send you the money for the items I need. Really not much. Anyway hopefully you are all doing well. Should be online much more now since much of the house is finished. Send email when you can.

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.

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.

Hi. I am not doing good now. My knee is really messed up. Actually woke up many times the last couple nights and put ice on the knee. Really difficult to walk. Akiko is looking for a job.

Hi. I think you guys want to chat on Monday SD time which would be Tuesday in Japan. Me and Akiko need to take Shai for a shot that day. Already cancelled a couple times because he was sick. Next weekend works for us though or doing the Sunday in SD and the Monday for us. Anyway, the house is now totally usable and looking really good. This was four months of working almost every day from early morning until night. Planning to post all the exciting details and pictures of this project. Now the classroom is finished and can begin accepting students. The garden is doing really well and should produce plenty of food. This year the temperatures in Japan were much cooler and resulted in high food prices now. Cabbage is selling for 3 to 5 dollars a head. The garden should offset much of our food costs. Hopefully you guys are doing well. Send email when you can.

Me and Akiko and Shai went to say a prayer before.

We were hoping everything would turn out good with your friend.

Tonight was drinking a lot and trying to find the correct words.

All I can say is we are thinking about you guys anytime.

We want to send you strength to get through this difficult time.

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.

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.

No problem. It was a very rough week and a particularly tough day. Probably overreacted. Email is usually a difficult way to express true feelings anytime.

Jim,

Hi. I was a bit upset about the strong email you sent to my cell phone. You should know I would not cancel chat without a really good reason. I distinctly remember two occasions you canceled a dinner and a coffee meeting at the last minute due to work and I simply understood and said nothing. Anyway, Akiko was finally able to contact the owners of the adjacent property to get permission for me to go over there and pick things up. The property was covered with weeds, totally bug infested, and the drainage ditch was completely filled with sludge. Absolutely not a good situation for the bay as the warmer temperatures are approaching. I worked on the property for the second day today from early in the morning until it was almost dark. Tonight I was barely able to move. Even with two full days working over there, it will still require another full day. Needed to take the opportunity to get this finished before the owners change their minds and before the week of rain we are scheduled to receive. Anyway, as you requested, Akiko and the baby will be able to chat at 11:00 pm on Monday night, San Diego time. Thank you for understanding. Send email when you can.

Hi. I wanted to let you know we cannot chat Sunday our time but me and Akiko can chat Monday afternoon our time and Sunday night between 11:00 pm and midnight your time. I know this is later for you guys but need to wait at the house because we are getting a delivery from the electronics store. The weekends are not possible in this house for chatting anymore. The sister totally freaked out again the other day and was screaming and slamming things. Needed to rush the baby upstairs. Been riding the bike four miles each way to the house every day to finish everything up as quickly as possible. Although not finished, the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom are now all sparkling and ready for us to move in. We pushed the move ahead to next week. From that time we might need to wait a month before we can get Internet due to the backlog. Might see if we can access the Internet from the library. Either way communication might be difficult the next few weeks. Anyway, let us know about chatting. We really miss you guys. Send email when you can.

Anyway, today is a couple mile walk to the building supply store and then tomorrow the house closes.

Hi. I was really sick the last few days and went to get checked today. Really not wanting to talk about the details but suffice to say it could be from all the problems over the last few weeks. Went through a few tests and nothing showed up. Definitely looking forward to getting out of this house and into the new house. We wired the money from the United States. The money showed up a few days ago but told the bank to hold the money for a couple days. Waiting paid off as US economic data along with the resignation of the Japanese Finance Minister this week pushed the dollar higher. Waiting netted an extra thousand bucks. We went out and bought a display model refrigerator today for 500 bucks. It was half price. Anyway, a few more days before the house closes. Hopefully you guys are doing really good.

Hi. Akiko and I made it through New Years after tons of fighting the last month. The sister is getting progressively worse mentally and is angry much of the time. The other day she threw the thermos we bought for Shai. It smashed 6 windows of an interior door in the kitchen. Things seem to be better now but really looking forward to getting out of this place and into the new house. New Years Eve was spent home eating, drinking, and watching television. New Years day the three of us went to the famous park and temples. At night we needed to go to a cousins house who nobody likes for dinner. This Monday pretty much everyone goes back to work and can relax more in this house. Kinda sucks everyone was sick for your New Years. If you guys get a camera then we can chat and fill in the no shows. We really miss you guys and talk about you often. Hopefully things go good with the school and we can eventually move back home.

Hi. Yeah it really sucks being sick and not able to do things. Actually getting rid of this after only a few days thanks to all the alcohol, warm food and sleep. Going out for a walk today and attempt to get the bike back into running order again. Suppose SD needed to get rain eventually. Stay in and get better soon. The cameras usually sell for about 40 bucks and are very easy to install. Personally prefer the Logitech cameras but any of them are about the same. Be sure to get a camera with a built in microphone. It makes it easier without headphones and another line connected to the computer. Then you use a hotmail account with MSN and chat for free. Yeah the house is pretty nice. Really nervous now because waiting for the owner to make a decision about the offer. Akiko says we are going to get the house but still worried about it.

Seem like being back in Buffalo. Every day is different. Beginning today really need to get caught up on three months of site work.

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.

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.

Hey Everyone,



This is the plan for fishing tomorrow. We are going to get there about 10:45 am and probably fish for at least a couple of hours.



The following link is directions from PB.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=diamond+street,+pacific+beach,+ca&daddr=ocean+beach+pier,+ca&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=34.999041,78.837891&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=13



The following link shows the parking lot adjacent to the pier. Access to the parking lot is actually from Newport Ave. Suggest trying to get a spot on Niagara Ave. to avoid the stairs up to the pier which is a bit of a hike.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=ocean+beach+pier,+ca&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=34.999041,78.837891&ie=UTF8&ll=32.747352,-117.253084&spn=0.002269,0.004812&t=h&z=18



Anyway should be able to catch many fish over five inches for sure. See you tomorrow. Until then.

Jim, Linda,

Hi. I wanted to send email and explain a bit of stuff. We are still not sure about the bris at this point although we are definitely going to do it either way. We are in contact with the same person but unable to confirm a time. Akiko and I went back and forth about if we want to do this alone or with friends and still unsure although we are leaning more towards it being the two of us and the baby. Akiko seems to be a bit overwhelmed recently with all the attention. It is difficult for many of our friends to understand as most of them are not used to being associated with someone from an Asian culture and background where things are done on a much more personal level. For me it is simply sad because my parents cannot be there for any of this. Anyway, we will keep you posted. We would like you to come for dinner next week sometime. Any night is good for us. Send email when you can.

Howie, Akiko

Jim,

Hi. I am not totally sure about the bris at this time. Akiko and I considered going to her OBGYN but not sure. Akiko and I will probably do this with only the two of us though. We are still waiting for the final answer from the insurance company. Yup, fishing needs to wait. Talk to you again.

Hey, I really wanna thank you guys for coming over last night and for returning the car seat. Really kinda small in our place and now there is a bit more space. Anyway, last night was really good. Shai slept 4.5 hours last night. I made breakfast this morning and all of us are much more relaxed. Pretty much planning to stay in for the next couple weeks.

Hi. I asked Akiko about this stuff and these were her answers pretty much.



Favorite color – Green

Food – Japanese.

Music – Classical.

Flowers – Good smelling.

Drink – Wine.



Pleeeeeeeease do not worry about anything. You probably already know we are really easy people. Anything is good. We are happy to be spending this time with you guys and friends. Thank you again.

Jim and Linda,



Hi. Akiko and I really want to thank you guys for making the shower. With Akiko being away from home, Japan, it makes her feel much better to know she has a lot of friends and support. She is sleeping now but we will add our names to the evite after she is up and we eat and stuff.



Many of my friends from the last few years are Japanese. A lot of them went back home over the years. A few of them who are still in town I was in a relationship with and obviously not a good idea to invite to the shower. My friends from years ago all moved away from SD. Many of the friends we put on the list are people we met at the bagel shop and now see on a regular basis, both there and socially. Many of them are really close with Akiko now.



Larry, is retired, about 62 years old, with a 10 year old son who is half thai. They went fishing with us and his kid is extremely well behaved. Larry being older, is very direct anytime, sometimes too much, but I am able to handle all types of people. He is a really nice guy though. I believe his house is in Del Cerro pretty close to you guys.



Akiko and I read his post and were not happy about it but needed to consider the source. This is probably his first evite, and he is now getting used to the Internet. Things do come across much more strongly online than in person. Anyway, no worries, this is a really good group who meet often and all get along with each other. A few other people at the bagel shop, we made sure they were not aware of the shower as we do not consider them to be our friends.



Anyway, hopefully you enjoyed this little novel. hehehehe. Anyway, apologies for making you concerned but all will be good. Incidentally we caught 6 different kinds of fish. You guys really should go one time. We figure maybe two more weeks we can go. Send email when you can.

http://edufire.com/FunEasyEnglish

Pretty cool. We took a free Thai class today and I taught a practice class. You should join as a student and take some of their free classes. We plan to be at the bagel store from about 7:15 until who knows. Try to come if you can.

Hi. I finished up some of the online store on my SD site. The store is already over 140 pages and all optimized for search and for San Diego products. A bit of a hassle setting it up. Planning to add another hundred pages and features thousands of products. You can click the link on the home page of the SD site if you wanna check it out. Already getting some attention from visitors.

http://sandiegocaliforniaevents.com/



Anyway, need to talk to you about some product information one of these days. This is not an exchange of services. This is something we would pay you for. Now Akiko is finishing up the recipe site. The script she used contained about 8000 files and it the same script used for the United Nations site. Pretty impressive work. She is working on our other sites now. Anyway, we plan to begin producing cooking videos and making products to go along with the recipes she already posted. With much of the site stuff finished the fun begins.

We should meet for dinner and talk about the possibilities. Send email when you can.

Hi. I am busy as usual this weekend. Still working on purchasing the house in Japan.

http://howiehayman.com/

Now into a new project. After years online finally decided to feature Amazon products on all the sites. Trying to set up the English site and the SD site. Then will begin work on the Japanese site next week. You can check the English site and the SD site to see the beginning stages.

http://funeasyenglish.com/

http://sandiegocaliforniaevents.com/

Anyway, the project will entail making about 500 pages per site for a total of 4000 new pages. Actually not necessary to make the pages as the Amazon store is self-contained but decided to make the individual pages to take advantage of the good ranking my sites enjoy in Google. Anyway, back to work. Should meet soon and talk. Send email when you can.

Hi. Thanks for the referral. You should put a San Diego California Events link on your page and then I should link back to your site from the resources page. We are now setting up link exchanges on all our sites. Because of reciprocal linking the English site is about 275,000 world ranking and about 27,000 in India. Really incredible. Talk to you again.

Hi Guys,
Hey, no problem. We were kind of worried about you preparing stuff for us and then finding out we needed to cancel. Anyway, it sounds like you enjoyed playing together. I am feeling much better. It was weird. No flu symptoms but really lacking in energy. Anyway, we went fishing today and came home. You can read about it on my personal site.

Maybe Akiko and I can get together with you guys next weekend. Talk to you again.

Hi. I was watching the woman on the site with Akiko. I really like it. Would be even better if she was naked but probably not a good image for your company. Hey, many questions about the technology you are using. The message seems generic and wondering if you wrote it or if a canned thingy from a company.



Now in the middle of sending out personal email to all the groups about the new stuff on the SD site. Every time before it was bulk email. This time sending individual emails. You should get on the SD site any chance you can. This would be excellent exposure for your company.



Go to the home page and scroll down to Sa Diego Friend Connect.

Click Join This Site.

You can join with an existing Google account.

Be sure to add your picture.



Then go to this page and exchange links with my site.

http://sandiegocaliforniaevents.com/san-diego-county-california-resources-link-exchange-add-url.htm

You can add an SD site banner to your links page.

Then submit your link information.



Then go to the classifieds.

http://sandiegocaliforniaevents.com/classifieds.htm

Post your company information in the services section.



Be sure to upload your banner to the top list today.



All this is good promotion for you. It is much better if you do these things now before the email to the groups is sent out.



Anyway, your site looks really cool. Going to check in more detail. Send email when you can.

Hi. I am going fishing with Akiko tomorrow at the usual place from about 8 am until 12 pm. Join us if you can. Hey, I set up a link exchange program on the SD site and Google friend connect. You guys should exchange links and join the group now. Going to be really promoting both programs on the SD site to my list of thousands of local emails beginning next week. Definitely in your best interest to do this then everyone will see your company information when they join. Send email when you can.

Hi. Welcome back. Akiko and I made an appointment for Tuesday to get the taxes done. Kind of went back and forth on this. The woman works at HR Block and is Japanese. This is good because Akiko can learn about the process. In addition, this year there is a lot of little stuff like being married, self employment and other things. Probably not that difficult to do but the woman is going to charge 250 dollars. Pretty ridiculous. Anyway, still not sure what to do. Really not wanting to bother you with it. Send email with your thoughts when you can.

Hi. I thought of a pretty good idea. In exchange for doing the taxes, maybe I could make a 30 second promotional video for your company. Their would be two versions. One would be with the SDCE site stuff at the beginning. The second would be without the SDCE stuff which you could use as a regular advertising spot which could be embedded anywhere on the Internet. Akiko and I really enjoyed the other night. Send email when you can.

Go to the English site

Then click on any of the lessons to see the videos.



Now I can actually relax today. Akiko and I plan to come over around 3:00 pm today See you then.

Hi. I was wondering about some specifics for Sunday. Maybe you could go to the bagel store this weekend. We can talk as long as you want now, even until the cows come home. Why?



Because Akiko was laid off today. Yup, she is now among the ranks of the unemployed. This is actually pretty good timing for us though since I need her back on the computer to do techie stuff. The English site is pretty much getting a new record for visitors every night. Now adding tons of content.



Today I was home playing with PlayDoh. Yup, was using it to make a pronunciation model. Pretty funny actually. Check the English site and click on Pronunciation and then on any of the lessons. Send email when you can.



Howie

Jim,



Hi. I wanna thank you for the concern. Everything is good but incredibly busy. In full video producing mode now. Already 140 videos made for the English site with another 80 on the within the week. The site visitors is hitting a record almost every night now. Akiko is back making Google Gadgets and is planning to quit work if the site visitors continues to go up. Anyway, putting in 16 hour days until the weekend to get as much finished as possible.



Akiko was feeling pretty good up until this week and now pretty wiped out every day. We might come on Sunday but need to let you now towards the end of the week to see if she is feeling better. You can send details if you want. Time, food, people, stuff like that. Anyway, send email when you can.

I put your banner on all of the pages in Area Focus, about 89 pages, and in the classifieds section, about 12 pages. Planning to link directly to the pages from the home page beginning next week. This should give you quite a bit of exposure. Anyway, Akiko is home from work today and tomorrow. She was really not feeling good. I needed to push her to stay home. Ah, the Japanese work ethic. Send email when you can.

Hi. I uploaded 44 new videos and need to stay in and get these done and find and problems before visitors checking the site. Need to stay close to the computer during this process. Can come over any night this week around 6 pm. Will only stay for a few minutes. Going to be making many changes to the SD site for the New Year and will be adding your banner to many pages. The end of the year is difficult because new to change the copyright year on all the sites. This means changing close to five thousand pages. Pretty automated but still takes time. Anyway, let me know which night we can come over or you can leave the stuff on you entry. Either way, send email when you can.

Hi. I am sending a couple of banners Akiko made. If you download them, you can get the actual file in the original quality. She used paint and then kept the banner in different formats using another program. If neither of these work, she can use another program which uses the following file extensions.

Jim,

Hi. I am going to work with Akiko tonight to make a better quality banner. If not, then maybe plain lettering with the site name would be better. I know people are going to ask where all these materials were made. I want to be able to say your company as this would be excellent promotion for you. This is the whole idea behind this mutual benefit trade of services. Anyway, it will work out eventually. Added the 367 new pages to the English site for the new lessons. All the pages are templates at this point but this was a good project to finish. You can click the classroom link from the home page of the English site and click any date on the class schedule. Talk to you again.

Hi. I want to get a couple of additional shirts made up. These would also be white but they need to be really sexy for women. Kind of like a camisole shirt which shows a little, um you know. Akiko and I went back and forth on this topic but unfortunately putting youth and sexy on the site really increases the number of visitors. Kind of a commentary on our society but true. The videos with tons of views features Akiko with a pretty sexy shirt. These other shirts will be used in the conversation sketches. Send email with samples when you can. Thanks.

Hi. I need some shirts and stuff made up. Not sure if you would be interested in my proposal but thought I should give you the opportunity. No worries if you are not interested. I am planning to make tons of videos beginning next month. I need shirts and maybe some other stuff made up with the English site information printed on them. I plan to exchange advertising for the cost of the items as many companies like the barter system anytime. If you want to do this, let me know. If not, then again, no worries.

Hi. No problem about the ad. I should be able to find some time to work with you on a new site. Beginning this week, I am sending individual email to every school in the county and over 4,000 email addresses of local and national groups and nonprofits collected over the last couple years. You should get some business from this.



Really would like you to address the possibility of selling products on the site. We will be working with a local company and I prefer it to be yours. Planning to move quickly on this.



Hey, post your business on the top list.

http://sandiegobusinesses.gotop100.com/

More exposure is better.



The fishing is towards the end of the season but should be good if it stays warm. Akiko and I pretty much caught nothing this year. Send email when you can.

Hi. I added your company link back on the SD site on the following pages.

http://sandiegocaliforniaevents.com/area-focus-allied-gardens-del-cerro-92120.htm

http://sandiegocaliforniaevents.com/area-focus-san-carlos-92119.htm

This should give you some additional business.



The new Area Focus section is getting a lot of attention, in fact, enough for us to finally begin accepting local advertising. I wanted to finish this section for months and planning to continuously add to it over the next few weeks. Tons of good links.



Anyway, we are now getting ready to set up an online store and feature all things related to San Diego. Need to know if you want to really get together and finally do some real business together.



Akiko and I saw Adam at the store today. Send email when you can.

Hi. I was a bit worried you were upset or something. Nice to know everything is good. We would be happy to come then for dinner.



Akiko and I continue to be busier all the time. We are now looking at houses for investment. I am putting my approximately 16 years of real estate knowledge to use now. We looked at many properties already. I am currently working with an agent, a mortgage company and a bank to put this all together. Really fun but some real crap out there for sure.



In addition, finally finishing up a new Area Focus section of the SD site.

http://sandiegocaliforniaevents.com/area-focus.htm



Already getting tons of attention and viewing time from people finding the hidden link in search. We are planning to accept advertising beginning the end of this year.



Anyway, get together when you can. Until then.

Hi. I can finally tell you about the new stuff on the San Diego site. I really want you to get in on this as it will be really good for your business. Those links you were clicking for me the other day are called Top Lists. Basically the are an excellent way to bring visitors to your site. The English site posted record visitors the last two nights because of them.



Anyway, I made six new lists and all will be on the SD site tomorrow. I want you to post your company on the SD list tonight if you can. I am in the process of making banners which will be used to record incoming hits. Going to explain more later. For now, go to this link and become a member.

Hi. I want to discuss many things about the Internet, some which may benefit you a lot in your business. Even better, all free stuff. Installing new technology on the SD site soon. These are top lists which bring tons of visitors to a site. You can see these on the English site. I need a favor. If possible, I need you to go to my English site.

http://funeasyenglish.com/

On the home page, in the margins, you will see a few banner links to “Site For Students” and “Sites For Teachers”, about 10 total in both sections. I need you to click each banner which will open up to a new window. After you click and go to the site, you can close the window and then click the next banner, including the little banner with Japanese writing. It should only take a couple minutes to click each banner. Each time you click and go to each top list site, it moves my site up in the ranking. Send email when you are done. Really appreciate it. Will explain more about this in another email. Akiko and I are going fishing again this weekend if you want to go. Talk to you again.

Yup, was checked today and pretty messed up with a bladder infection, a throat infection, and freaking chicken pox at the young age of 48 if you can believe it. The bumps are pretty much all over me now especially my head and neck. Akiko is really looking after me but whoa does this whole thing suck. Unbelievably itchy, fever going up to almost 103 and cannot find a comfortable position. Not sure if I mentioned that this sucks. This should put me out of commission for a couple weeks. Anyway, send email with some happy news or a cup of hemlock. Either will take my mind off being confined to this leper colony, AKA the condo. Talk to you again.

The company will focus on site design and Google Gadgets, which are really the shit on the Internet now. Should really design a Google Gadget for your company. Let us know about dinner.

Hi. I checked out the site. This is my thinking about this type of promotion.



This link is actually a pdf.

http://www.myproductspecials.com/mps.asp?User=10293226
You should think about changing this to a standard html page. Many people, using an older version of adobe will be asked to upgrade to the new version or the information will not display properly. For those who do not like pdf files, they will simply close the page and not look at the content.



This link is a bit of a problem too.

http://6199923734.logo411.com/

Nice you show up on the page for various searches, ie, tee shirts, pens, and other products as Premium Professionals. Was more inclined to click on the Showcase Suppliers as these sites seemed more directly related to the product. Would like to see an actual search window instead of only categories. Actually overall kind of confusing.



In addition, there are not always prices listed. People want instant gratification on the Internet. Really learned this the last few years. They will quickly find another site containing a shopping list which includes prices.



The logo411.com site is getting more popular but not there now.

The Alexa ranking is 2,625,649.

Compare to my Fun Easy English site at 831,229.

Akiko is past the 90 day thing at the company and we can use the benefits next month. I was placed on the Japan Society committee for the upcoming festival. Then of course there is the video contest. Doing crazy promotion for this. Sending out 1200 email per day, the ATT limit, even to international schools and agencies. Getting incredible support from the international community. Many of these companies post jobs on a regular basis and are happy to do this for me since the job boards are free. Anyway, gonna be sending email tonight about the food fair. Thank you again.

Hi. Yup, kinda funny. We wanted to know who in the heck was posting a video comment. Mystery solved. Akiko and I decided to look into purchasing a house. Good time to invest. We are hoping to keep getting crap properties and make money on resale. The SD finished the weekend with more traffic than the English and Japanese sites combined.

Hi. I wanted to update you on some Internet stuff. The new technology was installed last night in the form of opinion polls for the upcoming election. I spent the entire day collecting politician email from the registrar of voters site and a ton of other sites which now totals about 16 pages of email addresses. Anyway, began sending email to politicians and they are going crazy voting and sending email to everyone to vote on the polls. The site traffic is already over 10 times the normal amount and probably gonna be much higher tonight. They post and then keep coming back to check the new results.



We are planning an entire election coverage on the SD site beginning next month, including polls, opinion and debate boards, and new Google gadgets. Gonna be crazy. Anyway, I needed to take off all the banners on the home page except for the banners to my other Internet sites as the home page needs to be redone in preparation for the upcoming elections. Needed to get it cleaned up a bit. Things will be back to normal in awhile.



Someone posted a comment about the Passover video. Probably they know you. Check it on this page.

The dinner was to be special for just Linda and Arlene
and I think I stepped on some toes
Doug is doing the cooking and it looks like it may be at Arlenes
I am really not involved Arlenes is pretty small place and seating is at a premium
So I need to resind our invitation because it was not mine to extend

I hope you understand

Yeah kinda figured it would suck. After getting booted out last year, we decided not to bother covering the event. Throwing stuff at people is totally cool though. We went to stinko de mayo and really enjoyed the day. Because of the site, we get media parking anywhere we go. We show our business card and get fantastic parking. Good side benefit of the site.

Met a lot of people and trying to finish up four new videos from the event. Akiko and I came home and made BBQ burritos. We polished off a ton of margaritas.

Hey guys. I was wondering if you saw the Passover Sedar video. Already many views, figured you probably saw it. Time for you guys to come for dinner. Any weekend would be good.



If you want a way to finish all the extra matzo, try the spinach dip from Windmill Farms or the salsa from Vons. Both are good.



Akiko and I will be fishing this Sunday from early in the morning until the afternoon. Gonna be really hot and good conditions for catching. Join us if you can. Until then.

Hi. Actually we decided not to go today. With Akiko working now, the weekends are more important for running errands and stuff like that. We spent the entire weekend shopping. The food at your house is delicious anytime. No worries about diet food. We like to eat pretty much anything. Bought tons of cleaning stuff and plan to work on the house beginning this week. You guys can come to our place next. Send email when you can.

Hi. I went with Akiko to get the cars smogged today and it passed with no problem. Yippee. Yup, the Japanese site already has over a thousand links back to the English site and the San Diego site already has links to the other two sites. We are kinda waiting to put banners until more of the Japanese site is complete. I am purchasing 3000 kanji images for $30 to put on the site. This will be incredible. Akiko made a Google gadget. It took two weeks to make. Check it out on the home page of the Japanese site. You can refresh the page and see different scenes of Japan or click on the kanji for more information. Pretty cool. Send email when you can.

Hi. I am not sure if you received a call for a reference for Akiko but either way thanks. Anyway, the job is in Mission Valley, full time from 9 to 530 with really good benefits and free travel. It takes only ten minutes to get there. We were planning to possibly go back to Japan because both of us can easily work there but now we plan to stay. Now I can hang out with you this summer.

Hey, I totally understand. Actually I want to be the driver anytime too. Akiko and I like talking on the way up. No problem. Anyway, enjoy your trip and tell me all about it when you guys return.



Thanks for the recipe. Akiko is definitely gonna try to make it.



It seems like your tables are pretty messes up from your description and we decided not to take them. In the process of getting rid of stuff as it is.



My roommate is working on some extra site project and cannot take on any new work for a few weeks.



Anyway, Akiko and I wanna do dinner with you guys again when you get back. Send email when you can.

Hey, they won again. Akiko and I spent the weekend watching football again. Kinda happy when the season is over.

Thanks for the information.

Not sure what you mean about electronics stuff.

Probably take the furniture if not too messed up. Maybe we could check it out this week.

About Las Vegas. If you ever drive and want a driver then let me know. You could relax on your trip.

Check the English site. Let me know what you think.

Hi. I was way too busy today to call you. The San Diego site is now completely automated and I am working with groups and clubs as they post their events and then I am deleting the events I posted for them. This will take a few weeks to straighten out. The site traffic went up four times since the change.



I am really happy now to be free from reading tons of press releases and reposting the information. Now the groups can do it themselves. When this week is finished, over four thousand emails will be sent out to local and national groups about the new site structure.



Akiko and I actually set up the new classifieds and put it online tonight. Pretty cool stuff.



Incidentally the Alexa worldwide ranking for my FunEasyEnglish site is doing pretty good. We are even in the top twenty thousand range in a couple of countries. Check it out.

Hi. Yup, I know all about it. Finally got around to closing the old site and a search site picked it up immediately. Kinda funny. Anyway, the San Diego California Events site will be put on automatic at the end of the year or sooner. The English site is doing really well and can no longer spend time on the SD site. I realize it is very difficult to do business in this city. Many apathic people and changing their minds anytime. Really difficult to get things done. The English site the market is worldwide and much easier to get visitors. Anyway, getting ready for the next holiday. Should meet. Send email again when you can. Until then.

Hi. Thanks for the offer but not really doing email anymore. Found much better marketing recently. Talk about this more when I see you again.

Incidentally, I added over a hundred pages to the site and a couple of new video lessons this week. Check it out.

We should do a dinner some time. Akiko and I might be making a pot luck party on the 26th or the 27th of this month. Kind of a holiday party too but costumes are optional. Tell me if you think you can make it. Send email when you can. Until then.

Hi. I could go Saturday but the forecast is for way too much wind and not really warm. The conditions are going to be excellent on Sunday, temperature, tides, and other stuff. We are going Sunday morning from about 6 am until the afternoon. Bring the dudes with you. Should be a lot of fun. We bring plenty of extra equipment if you need anything. Send email and let me know if you can make it and if you need directions. Many things to discuss. Lots of cool stuff going on. We bought a new computer and doing a lot of exciting things. Be nice to meet. Talk to you again.
