Well, I've finally caught up on your past month after my own medical stuff and it is still such a pleasure to read your words and hear jhow things are for you and Wakana, Brett. Thanks so much for sharing and best wishes for a speedy return to good health for Wakana. Sorry I didn't get to call before you had to go to Japan!

Too kewl that you will have the pleasure of meeting Masato. While you are in Japan, try the "LaFrance" chewing gum. It's quite tasty and I say that without any prejudice ( my last name has nothing to do with it!**bg**) Masato was kind enough to send some over one year for me to send out to Roger's siblings. Who knew we had a chewing gum named after us in Japan?!**bg**
