Sunday, February 7, 2010
Have you ever started doing something new and many people around you think it’s a bit on the ’strange’ side?
My 2012/1220 Vision
Sunday, January 31, 2010
Well, having seen the epic comedy, 2012, on New Year’s Eve (I kid you not!), I thought I’d get my own 2012 stuff out of the way and be done with it.
Kobe 1995 and Haiti 2010 Quakes
Sunday, January 17, 2010
Haiti’s pain following the recent earthquake is a terrible thing to witness – even from TV and computer screens far away.

But what really delights me is how I was (mostly unconsciously) influenced by the style [...]
Lost Generation?
Monday, November 30, 2009
Much of my time is spent teaching young people these days.

Today’s November 3rd, a Japanese national holiday, and popularly known as “Culture Day.”
The Tokyo weather’s glorious, if a little cool (about 14 C), and I’m taking it easy with some gentle garden weeding, in between writing about this, that and the other.
