We made it back. Andrea and Simon were up around 4:30 and I've been up since 6-ish. Ain't jet lag grand. What I don't understand about it is how sometimes I get it and sometimes not at all...

But now that we are back and the craziness of the trip is over, it is time for getting back to the routine and accomplishing those New Years resolutions. Mine revolve around really taking my Japanese up another notch, losing some more pounds, and concentrating a lot more on songwriting.
