We're back in LA...

...and Shelley and I have the following conversation.

Me: "So you're happy to be back in LA?"
Shelley: "Yes"
Me: "Happy enough that you're not going to want to come to Tokyo?"
Shelley: "no........not yet."

So while it looks like I might get my wife and family to come back with me in August, I've already been put on 12 month notice that she will more than likely revert to full ex-pat-wife status come next summer. That means as soon as school is out, I get to be in Tokyo and Shelley and family get to head home for the summer.

Let me tell you there are a lot of downcast American dudes walking the streets of Tokyo right now.

But we're glad we're back in town. We'll be here for about a month.
