Tokyo, 2005.07.28

Today at lunch I got one of those surprises where it turns out that coworkers have discovered my website. A friend asked me on the way to lunch today if I had a website. I admitted that indeed I did. He then produced a printed copy of one of my short stories and began asking questions. Considering that the story has a trans-gender character and an baby that is being medically kept in an infant state, his questions were quite insightful. I guess word was getting 'round in the office, because when we sat down for lunch another of our party had a copy, as well.

Tonight is the final farewell for Jon at MSI/Citi/JV. The locals have been behaving like last Friday and Monday were merely the momentum-building steps in that Olympic event where they take two big steps and leap across the sand pit. Tonight, I fear, is the leap.

I will not drink too much tonight, because I have plans to head to Yokohama in the morning. Ahem.. I will not drink too much tonight, because I have plans to head to Yokohama in the morning. I will not drink too much tonight, because I have plans to head to Yokohama in the morning.

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.
