I used to do tons of freelance jobs this time of year. But I am not doing it much any more. Basically I am too old for driving hundreds of miles a day. Most of the jobs I did were in VA. Now with extra time I am trying to do more digital video. I had been avoiding it, since it takes so much time. But there is so much demand now. I cannot ignore it. I also use Youtube for my classes. I post video clips. Yes, I still teach Japanese. 101 is always full which means 30 students. 102 is about half.Now I have eight former students of mine in Japan either teaching English or studying there. I saw two of them last month while I was there. Now my parents are old, I visit Japan twice a year. I took E to japan last summber. She is going to college this year.She will study OT. J will go to high school this year. Both are doing well. Now you know I am old, hahaha. I have been lucky with all the interns. This semester I have only one intern. She is excellent. Do you rememberr Joanne? She is a president of a university near Chicago. She is still using her photo I took many years ago. The photo is very old. But it is a compliment to me . I like your son's photo. It is funny to see a bird behind him. He looks handful. I am sure your mother is happy. Say hi to everyone. I hope to see you one day.

Take care,
