So I've heard back from four or five companies after having passed the initial screening process and spent today filling in questionnaires, past work history, references, etc to hopefully move forward to the next stage. All but one of them would be ALT positions teaching in the greater Tokyo area or the surrounding prefectures, while the one I truly desire is for another big English school called Berlitz. Berlitz is similar to NOVA in their teaching style and setup and would therefore be a very easy transition. They are also a very well established company not only here in Japan, but worldwide, as they teach English in over forty countries. So keep your fingers crossed on the various applications.
The only unfortunate thing about achieving actual interviews is that they would all be in or around Tokyo which therefore means traveling and possibly staying overnight there. With Tokyo being one of the world's most expensive cities this could be rather exciting considering my current financial situation, but I'll have to wait and see if I actually obtain any interviews.
On a side note Ayuko and I have recently started running together and just trying to live healthier lives in general in a desire to return to my physical form of old, so that is definitely a positive change.

Well that's good about the companies..we're all praying for you to get Berlitz! You can run all you want but you still won't be able to beat me in basketball! Also, the pictures are a nice addition. I love you infinity times infinity!
