The Hot Fuzzies: Konnichiwa!
I was suddenly reminded of the old man we passed while walking into the city yesterday. He had the sweetest face, with a gummy, toothless mouth and shockingly white eyebrows that arched upward in perpetual surprise. He was taking his grand-daughter, I assume, for a little jaunt around the block. She couldn't have been more than two or three. As we approached he turned her so she could see us and, with a hearty konnichiwa, began tenderly moving her arm to gesticulate a wave. We waved back, returned the hello, and were hit promptly and palpably with a case of the warm fuzzies.

Hi Casey and Juli,
Tonight is TT at WC. We miss you terribly, but we're mucking along.
It's wonderful to be able to read your journal of arriving in Nippon and adjusting to Sendai.
Love and prayers,
