earthquakes make for lousy bedfellows

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2009.12.18

Last night I was up fairly late working on various projects. I needed some quality sleep.

Instead, I was woken at around 02:30 by the laundry drying racks blowing over on the balcony. Then an hour later by little Kenny, who insisted on sleeping with us. Then at around 04:30 there was an earthquake that rattled Mari and me awake (but not Kenny). And after that I couldn't go back to sleep. Yaargh.

The point isn't revenge. It is justice. Revenge is like a wave that washes up on shore - it always washes back out again. Justice is like the shore - it's still there after the wave comes and goes.
