He and I were becoming immediately fast and close friends. His wife Patricia was much more reserved and didn’t seem to handle strange or new situati...ns very well. Already she seemed to show great difficulties with adapting to expatriate life overseas. She hadn’t really wanted to go to Japan at all, but being a ‘traditional Southern girl from North Carolina’ felt she needed to accompany and support her husband, even into the gates of Hell, which for her Japan nearly qualified. Shinju, I think. After I had lived here about 5 years, one day a small family drove up my driveway pulling their travel trailer.They asked if they could camp out on my property.They scored a lot of points with me by just stopping to ask. Most people (inconsiderate bastards that they are) just set up camp without asking. I usually had to send one of my hands to tell them to leave.I really don't know why I said "OK". Maybe it was the fact that they had stopped to ask, maybe it was the look of hope in their son's. It was coitus interruptus in the extreme — the experience probably left them with severe sexual problems for the rest of their lives, although it did afford many apprentices their first demonstration of the sex act, albeit through a glass darkly, or more often than not a steamed-up back window.I ask my reader to bear with me as I spend some little time detailing my sporting prowess before I joined the RAF.From about the age of eight I played football for my primary school in London; Oxford. But after a couple of days my skin wasimproving and by the end of the week the zits were completely gone. Otherthan getting rid of the zits, it made my skin look softer and pinker -kind of "glowing" the way it said on the jar - and I liked that so I keptusing it every night.Had a quick checkup with the doctor today. I think that he was surprisedby the weight that I'd gained in my chest and tummy. I told him that I'dbeen watching my diet and not overeating. He reviewed the results of thelab work.
