I am asking this as a serious question and not trying to be snarky or whiny, but when does working out start to give you energy rather than just making you want to go to bed?

I was going to say roughly a month. and then eveytime you up it -- there will be an adjustment, but it is never as long as the first time.

Wasn't on the board much to day , but thinking of everyone and sending out the ma

Cautious yays, Tep.

Jeebus-- just heard from a friend of mine whose husband is a naval commander stationed at Atsugi-- they just got over there last summer for the start of a 3-year tour. State Dept. has chartered planes to evacuate Americans and they're getting ready to leave. Her husband has to stay, for the moment, but she and the kids are being brought to either LA or Seattle.

GC, your newly walking boy is adorable.

Health ~ma to the sickos. And warm virtual hugs to all of you.

Sounds promising, Teppy.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! aka, my anniversary. 21 years - I think this has to be the booze anniversary.

Happy Anniversary, Laura! And yes, I think you can take your marriage out and get it plastered.

The U.S. has chartered planes for Americans who want to leave Japan and can't get seats on commercial planes. There's no requirement to leave.

Maybe they're treating it a little differently for the military personnel who are there? I'm getting the impression they're being told to go. Of course, everything is crazy at the moment and I'm only getting intermittent reports in the form of short emails, but it sure sounds like Atsugi, at least, is being evacuated.

Happy Anniversary Laura!

Okay-- thanks, Ginger.

Right now, what I know from my friend is they're going to be brought either to LA or Seattle, so I'm trying to keep an eye on things from this end.
