It's currently forecasted to fly right over Tokyo. Be safe, and good luck! Joe <span class='jfriedl'>Being from the Midwest (Ohio), I actually enjoy a good brisk storm from time to time, but unfortunately, as you say, it's heading for Tokyo, which is no where near me (Kyoto) :-( —Jeffrey</span> Typhoon Melor is headed in your direction, Jeffrey.

My <a href="http://dibben.blogspot.com/2009/09/sports-day.html" rel="nofollow">children's sports day</a> (1st and 2nd grade) was the week before and it was really hot so it must have been tough for them sitting in the sun for a long time. I am always impressed by the coordinated dance or gymnastic routines that they have the children perform as well as the more normal sports. Is this the same at Anthony's school? <span class='jfriedl'>It was warm, but not oppressively hot, and was better than the rain the day before when it had been originally scheduled. The kids could sit in shade, which also helped. Yes, they also did　group gymnastic routines, called マスゲーム, a name I couldn't for the life of me figure out until I looked it up just now: <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_games' class='quiet' rel="nofollow">Mass Game</a>. The first graders did things like six-person pyramids and various formations and such... I was impressed by how long and complex a routine they memorized. The older kids' big thing were 30-person pyramids, reaching almost three stories high(!) —Jeffrey</span> It looks like it was a hot day.
