Back Again,

I spent last week back in America. It was a good trip. I went to San Francisco and then up to Utah to work out of my office there. It was really nice to just get away for a few days down in San Francisco. My 11 year old son is at Stanford at a tennis academy this summer. So I saw him briefly. He is playing well and I guess I am now officially living my dream through him. It is always fun to watch him play. But as a parent I find myself getting too involved during matches. I think I get more stressed out watching him than he does playing...hehe. Its a fun time. I miss him now. I will see him again near the end of August when I go back. I really miss him.

I then went up to Utah and had a good time working out of my office for a few days. It actually felt like a vacation being able to go home at a good time. I forgot what it was like to have more time at night. It was really nice.

America was hot and dry. I loved it. Everyone was complaining how hot it was but I thought the dry weather felt so good. I just wanted to be outside and it didn`t feel so hot to me. But now I am back in Nagoya and its raining, hot, and humid. Terrible weather!! I don`t like this humid rainy weather.

Coming home was interesting. At the airport in Salt Lake the airplane was delayed. My seat was in the very back and for some reason we were not taking off. The flight attendant came and knocked on the restroom door which was right behind me on the plane. She asked the person inside if they were ok and told her to quickly take her seat as the airplane needed to take off. Well we waited and waited for this person to come out of the restroom so we could take off. Then the door opened and a girl and guy came out together. Smoke also came out. I was shocked as were many other people who saw this. I wondered what they were doing in there together. Then I noticed smoke coming out of the restroom. They were in there smoking crack. I could not believe it! The police came on board the plane and arrested them right there. They then searched the restroom and found the crack and lighter and pipe. I was shocked. How did they get all that on the plane??? Were is the security?? So we were delayed for almost an hour because of this drama. We finally took off and as we landed in San Francisco the flight attendant asked all the passengers if they enjoyed the drama in Salt Lake. He then told everyone to "just say no to drugs". It was funny. But I almost missed my flight to Nagoya. I was running in the airport to my plane. Luckily they held the plane until I got there. So a little crazy but actually really scary that people could sneak that through the tight security. Really scary!! It shows that really things still are not safe. I have flown a lot but this was by far the biggest shocking thing I have seen in a long long time.

Well its Sunday night. Tomorrow hell starts all over again....
