Okinawa is now entering its spring rainny season. I do not mind. The rainy season in Okinawa is much milder than that of Honshu. I remember the rains over Yokohama that start around June and continue until mid July. Even when it isn't raining, it is grey and depressing. Okinawa, on the other hand, has about as much rain, but it is broken up with sunny moments before it rains again. These sunny moments are what keep up my spirit.

Ron-san gave me the choice today of updating the website or cleaning old dirty pens. I chose the website.

I thought it would be easy to find news about the pen world, but it seems to be more difficult than what I expected. Perhaps it would be easier if I attended pen shows in America, but Ron-san doesn't think I am quite ready for that yet. I know very little about pens, but I am learning quickly.

Please, if you have a news item, please send me an e-mail

Love, Meg
