Guess what? I got the job! Lucy and I have decided to stay in Japan for the time being. John and Jackie and the twins are delighted to move to Vernon and make a start while taking care of the house. I've procured my first job as a junior computer programmer at Rising Sun Games and have given my notice at Vernon Paving. Lucy and I are excited because Eckhart Tolle is on tour doing a conference and will be in Tokyo Friday. She's getting into Japanese gardening and loving it.
