I haven't been thanking God that Koji is studious, but I should be. Every day when he gets home from school, he does his homework immediately and for the most part, without being asked. Historically, motivating others hasn't been my strong suite. That is why, when I thank God today that Koji is self-motivated (for studying; helping around the house, not so much), I will also add a plea that he may continue on this way for as long as he is a student...
This record of events was established in 2005 when our three person family was residing cozily in a downtown Tokyo studio. We have since grown to five members and after many wonderful years in the suburbs of Chicago, we've returned to Tokyo. My husband and I both work full time; my name is Jamie and I'm the author of this blog!

A Possible Resurrection
I know well that when someone posts to their blog after an extremely long silence, it's passe or boring or some kind of uncool to apologize or make excuses for one's absence. Nevertheless, I have to note the hold up, if only for my own sake in posterity: we got a new computer.
One would expect that getting a new computer would likely lead to MORE posting, not less. Erm. That goes for people who know how to operate their sparkly machine. Let's suppose the old one was a PC and the new one is a Mac and against better judgment, no help articles or manuals or anything that might actually explain what to do have been used. At all. Ever.
That is why I did not know how to resize a photo to post to the blog. Though I'm sometimes pompous enough to rather enjoy my own blathering, I know better than to presume the same of you. In other words, no pictures means no posting.
But now, ever so fortuitously and accidentally, I have discovered how to resize a photo. And thus, I hope to revive this blog. I hope. I hope. When I post next time, maybe I will arrive at informing you of Koji's school Sports Day, pictures above. Wait for it.
