Around week three of The Honeymoon, I learned the presence of one of my Project Managers was needed in Osaka for an upcoming system launch; however, this Project Manager is now on *HIS* honeymoon. So, since he busted his arse while I was out for a few weeks (a month) getting married and celebrating in France, Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands, I took one for the team.
Home for only 13 hours in which we mostly spent sleeping, we had just enough time to walk around the park this morning (since we were both wide awake at 5:30 AM...) and then pack and then drive back to the airport. I cried as Jeremy dropped me off at the curb, wishing I didn't have to go. But Jeremy said it will go by quickly.
Considering it is now late Monday afternoon, he is right so far! I just landed, after a rather pleasant 11 hour flight. Since it is still afternoon, I don't yet feel too jet-lagged. We'll have to see how long that lasts! I made it through Passport Control and Customs, and I navigated to the bus I'm now riding into town.
I studied some Japanese on the flight, and I've mastered hello, thank you, and good-bye. Lots more to learn, including cheers. So for now, I will sign off with sianora!

Cole, I played golf with the son of one of my ALU fellow employees on Thursday. His son teaches English to Japanese students. I forget where he said he lives in Japan -- but he did say he was underpaid. (Ha ha.) His name is Paulo Alvarado - and he said most students have difficulty pronouncing his name.
