30 Copyright 2009, CBSSports.com http://da-fan-in-japan.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/view/8450026 en-us -I have to begin by saying that I am a pretty busy guy- with a new career in a very different country, trying to learn a new (and again, very different) language, and also a very important relationship to maintain (on top of keeping in touch with folks back home!), etc., etc... So, I'll add that while I might not be as busy a blogger as some, I do promise to put thought and consideration into whatever I might post, as well as my responses to the posts of others... My sincere thanks to all for visiting!
