Earthquake on the Sea of Japan

I know it's a bit late, but I want to assure anyone who wondered about the effects of the recent earthquake on the Sea of Japan-- we're fine. We just got a couple gentle shakes lasting a minute or so.

Of course nearer the epicenter things were more serious-- with hundreds of houses collapsing under the weight of their tile roofs. Here's a link:

Again, we're fine. Naomi left today to stay a month in Tokyo- where they're still waiting for 'The Big One'- and will be helping record some new songs. Mom (Sharon) will be joining her next week and Andrew and I will be visiting Fukuoka the week after that.
