Lets Play English (英語で遊ぼう)

Every morning my son and I watch "Lets Play English"(eigo de asobo) on NHK. My wife thinks I'm in love with Jenny. She is beautiful but I think Eric is the man. He is the cool "older" hippy, just trying to make a living. He sometimes looks out of it. I wonder what he is thinking. Watching him makes me think about my future in Japan. Which scares me.

A friend of mine has a fancy ESL masters degree and is pretty critical of the show. I think she is wrong. My son likes it and that is good enough for me.

Another nice thing about the show, is the producers have made an effort to include multiracial children. It is done very tastefully. Jenny is also, hot.
