delayed reaction

Hello all
I am back from India, more refreshed than I expected, ready for the next seven months in my Japanese village life. The weather is colder than when I left, which is expected considering what India counts as a winter, and I am just beginning to get back into the swing of teaching again. My apologies for the lack of posting during my travels and for the slow speed with which the tales of India are reaching the net. I am still trying to absorb it all and put it into a somewhat coherent story form, which is better than the lists and half sentences that fill my journal. Stay tuned. And Happy 2006.
