Thanks for your prayers. I'm safely in Japan and made the 2.5 hour train trek across Tokyo from the airport to Tokorozawa, where our office is located. It is almost 9:00 PM at night here on Tuesday. So will go to bed soon.

On the way across town, I stopped in Ueno (downtown Tokyo) for a few minutes to grab something to eat and poke around in what was a hangout for me back in the 80's when I lived in Japan. Pictured is one of the market streets I used to frequent.

Busniness starts early on Wednesday morning with an 8:00 AM conference call with the Asian Access Ministry Committee (of the Board). Then off to the office for a day of work.

Specific prayers: good night sleep, alertness throughout the day on Wednesday, health.
