I drove over to meet him tonight as he is leaving Japan after 22 years (partly to say goodbye, mainly to obtain his dishwasher!, and score a nice printer to boot). It is always sad to say goodbyes. I'll never really get used to it.

I still subscribe to ELT News, even though I am pretty sure I won't be in that industry again. Wonder if he'll be like a lot of long-term guys who go home, only to discover home is actually in Wa.
