twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2009.04.13

I'm now a house-husband! My brave Mari is back to work, and little Kenny is now consigned to a lifetime of institutionalized care and learning. Leaving me all on my lonesome with nothing for company but my struggles with starting a business in a foreign land.

rand()m quote

In the wake of 9/11, we [in America] have made the decision as a society that we can never again create something in which we can take pride, for fear that someone will destroy it. Moreover, we must suppress any trace of individualism, lest someone have the desire to rise above the bland sameness that protects us. I have, alas, no idea how to recapture our courage.
