Monday Monday Monday....Ahhh where did the time go??

I knew the last week would just fly and itdid.I had a good week back in Utah. An excellent week. I basically dideverything I wanted to do. I played a lot of tennis and ate a lot ofMexican food. Also did some shopping in between. I played some tennis andplayed against my son. I brought him a new raquet and it took him some timeto get used to it. It was an adult size and the strings were a littlestiff. But after about an hour he got used to it and basically started toplay very competitive against me. I lost our final match while I was thereand I played very serious. My serve was of coarse much stronger than hisbut his return is excellent and the power didn`t scare him. I was reallysurprised at how much he (and his hair) has grown. So it was a good weekand Utah was hot hot hot. Hotter than hell. Nagoya is hot and humid whichis terrible. But Utah is just dry heat. Nagoya feels like a steam room andUtah feels like a Sauna. The temp was around 40 degrees everyday andtypical Utah summer with no clouds in the sky at all. Nothing but blue sky.But I was comfortable in my house with central air. Thats another thing. Itwas really nice to be back home. I slept great in my bed and was just socomfortable. I really didn`t want to come back to Nagoya....hehe. It was anice break but way too short. But now I am back in Nagoya and its gettingcomfortable here too. I will never be like my home but its good enough fornow.I got back yesterday and basically was dead all day. Now back to reality....

Well my holiday has officially started!! Its Wednesday night and I am packing my bags. Tomorrow morning back to the mother country. But for only a week. Thats way too short and it will be over in a flash. Still its good to get away for a few days. I am ready for some dry air and Mexican food. Basically all I plan to do is play some tennis and eat. Maybe do a little shopping and a move on the side. But thats about it. My son is waiting for me. So it will be good to spend some time with him. Thats about it for me. I am not looking forward to the plane ride though. I got the worst seat in the plane right in the middle. Anyway next year I will take 2 weeks off. Its too short to fly back for just one week for me. I am pretty much burned out on work so I need longer. I can`t work like a robot without an off switch....hehe. Anyway tomorrow I am gone for a few days so it should be nice. When I get back the US Open will be getting ready to start....
