Is it raining in San Diego AGAIN!?!? Congratulations to the museum for a wise purchase. You ought to go down there and look up that young lady bo'sun who wanted sea chanties. Charley said he mailed he one of our CDs. It would be nice to know she got it.

Yesterday I took Wakana to physical therapy for the problem in her neck. By the time we got to the medical center she was in too much pain to get out of the truck. I hurried her up to the emergency room at GMH. After 7 1/2 hours in various waiting rooms we got the diagnosis. She has a herniated disk in her neck. She is to remain as still as possible and hurry her butt back to Japan for surgery. So it looks like we will be living in Japan for the near future. Her sister-in-law had the same problem and it took her 8 months to recover. Here's my chance for full immersion Japanese lessons.

Isn't there a Japanese Mudcatter?

Amy leaves tomorrow and my eyes tear up every time I think of it. Tomorrow morning will be tough. But this afternoon we will be going out on Scubaroo in a laast effort to visit the dolphins.
