Gaijin isn't a bad word. There just isn't any
other word to describe us. And besides, I'm
different and I like it that way. Why else would
I decide to leave San Francisco and live here
forever? So that I can eat good food? Maybe.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMOKO!!
My wife is hamna hamna years old today. We don’t really celebrate birthdays, but I got her a hobby toolbox, a massage (by me of course), and we are going out to our favorite restaurant on Saturday night. Her mom’s birthday is…um…um…around now too, so we’ll celebrate that also.

Mike : Yo Zen. Not Mike-chan, Mike-kun, Not Mike-kun, Mike-san. And actually, it should be Mike-sensei or McKay-sensei. Really sounds wierd hearing Mi-chan ringing in my head.
