Tokyo, 2010.12.10

I'd only been back in Tokyo for about fifteen hours when I felt my first earthquake.

Same ol' same old! Hmmm .. what are we going to do with all of the earthquake preparedness stuff we've got? We're moving to one of the most geologically stable areas in the world....

I feel fortunate that I enjoyed the blandishments of modernity. I had hip replacement and root canal. I was able to travel on airplanes. I was able to take cheap food for granted. I went to the movies. I enjoyed rock 'n' roll. And now I'm ready to move on.
