September 11th. I can`t believe its been 10 years. I remember 10 years ago when this all happened. Time really flies. America is completely different than what it was 10 years ago. Its too bad things have to change. But no choice I guess.

Its Sunday night I am sitting here in my home in Nagoya watching the anniversary of the 9/11 attack on CNN. Its also the 6 month anniversary of the Earthquake here in Japan. What a day.

I got back from China again and it feels so good to be back. But things in Japan are crazy busy right now. So I find myself coming home every night just dead. I have no energy and basically end up being a couch potato. No energy to even get anything good to eat...hehe. I seriously need a maid or something...hehe. I am kind of getting sick of living alone now. I guess maybe its time I change my life from one of work work work to one of more play and spending time with someone special. I will go back to the US next week for a week. I can at least get something to eat there.... then back here. So more business travel and no time to even spend anytime with anyone.... That is going to change...!! I was never the type of person who put work in front of anything. Work was always last on my list. Now when you are alone somehow work has a way of becoming number 1. I guess when you have nothing but work thats natural. But its going to change. I am going to change it...

Oh my gosh....!! Its August... well now September... where does the time go??

I spent some more time in China then was back in the US for a couple of weeks. Now back in Japan... so I am a little tired. I returned last week but I have been so tired everynight I haven`t even had the energy to turn on the computer. I guess I was just too busy going places. Finally tonight I am feeling like the old Todd...

Well I will transfer back to America in November... pretty crazy. It will not be permanent. I will return back here to Japan in a couple of years. I will keep coming back many times during the years too on business. But will just live in the US now and not Japan for maybe 3 years. Long enough to get Andy out of high school. Its his important time now and he was able to go back to America. So he was so excited to start American High school.

I took him to the first day of school. I picked him up when it was over. I asked him how it was and he told me, "Just like a movie..." I don`t know if thats good or bad but kind of funny. Now he is in the US doing tennis 50% of the time and School the other 50%. A busy kid. I guess we are all busy.

The weather in the states was really nice. Back in Nagoya it sucks... more heat, wet air... I hate Nagoya summers... Well I will post later...
