George, sickness, and Homac

I've been extremely busy this week! I've had a lot of school I've been working on. I'm still editing my biography on George Washington, I'll post it probably when I'm done. I finished up my study of the Civil War. This is really a sad part of our history. It made me sick. I've got a lot of thoughts about the war, and the times, but I'll elaborate on that another time.

There has been this virus running around. It got Mom, Stacia, and Alex, but Arielle, Nolan, and I didn't get it. The three of us partitioned the house and would randomly disinfect the rooms and anywhere where the sick people may have been or thought about going. Several people brought us meals while everyone was sick, which was amazing and really tasty!

I fixed my bike the other day and went for my first bike ride in Japan! That is exciting stuff! I rode my bike down to Homac to buy chain for the human video we are working on. It took me forever to communicate to the Japanese lady what I wanted. I don't know how chain is sold in America, but here it is just one big long chain and you tell an employee how long you want the chain and they cut it for you. That's a really smart system with only one slight defect: you have to speak the language. But it turned out alright and I practically got what I wanted.

That's all the time I have for now, I need to go and start cooking dinner (Mom is at a ladies retreat).

Jared,
Glad to hear you are still feeling well. Also glad to hear you were able to get your bike up and running. It will be fun to do some bike riding when I get home, but those roads are so incredibly narrow.

Love you
Dad

So, what did you end up cooking for dinner? :D

Can't wait to see what you write on George Washington! I went to Mt. Vernon last summer and was really intrigued by his life.

I think I cooked meatballs with noodles and sauce..it was pretty good actually, if I may so so myself. lol
