Thanks for the kind words, Mr. Daffy Dave. The site has been a labor of love with lots of peaks & valleys since its beginning in 2009.
Although it started out as a hopeful e-commerce project, I've sold only a handful of ebooks thru the years & I learned very quickly it would not become a viable source of income, but rather just a very expensive hobby. :-)
But as a form of volunteerism to the English-speaking community, it has been my pleasure to keep sharing the latest news about one of my life's greatest passions thru the years.... and that's climbing the highest mountains in Japan.
