@Socratoes,
Another fresh blanket of snow to be shoveled, the ever growing pressure of tax deadlines (3/15 in Japan), and concerns about sons who seemed to have kind of blundered some final exams (the school year is wrapping up for highschool now, here) will not keep me from at least taking a second to greet a new-comer to the forum.
From the shadows of the grand peaks of the Japan Alps, WELCOME !! Yes, as soon as you get settled in, comfortable in your chair, and familiar with the lay of the land, jump right in !! It's great. I look forward to seeing you 'round (especially after I have gotten that tax stuff out of the way....hee, hee, hee....).
