EBarnacle, I will not be returning to the USA any farther than Guam in the foreseeable future. At least not until the political climate returns to some form of reasonable.

As it stands I am devoting some of my time to learning Japanese at last. If the last election did anything it drove me farther from the USA. Wakana's green card is up for renewal this year. If they refuse for some reason we will have to move to Japan. Wakana's parents claim they would be happy to house us.

As far as being a slug, that term applies only to myself and carries no disapprobation for anyone or anything else.
