Continue reading →: What is a Vacation?
My question of the day is: is a writer really ever on vacation? More than a job or even a career, writing is deeply ingrained in the heart and mind of those who take on the task. Of course, this is my opinion. Perhaps lawyers feel as passionate about the…

Continue reading →: The Mani-Pedi Experience
Yesterday I got a mani/pedi (that’s a manicure and pedicure for those of you who don’t speak “girl-talk”). In and of itself, that’s nothing remarkable, but given the fact that I am in the United States right now and not in Japan, it’s something on which I can comment. This…

My kids and I are at a Suzuki violin institute at Emory and Henry College in Emory Virginia, USA for this week. There’s no way I am going to be able to blog with all the action-packed days ahead of me. So I will see you on the flip side…

Yesterday, my darling dog, Jonah, died. He was fifteen years old and my husband and I have had him since he was eight weeks. My mother-in-law is fond of saying that “even in dying, you have to have mazel “ – luck – and we were very lucky indeed. But…

Every now and then you come across it: a little oasis in the Tokyo that makes you forget that you’re in the middle of one of the largest urban jungles on the planet. I was out walking with my friend Bill the other day when we came across it. Well,…

Holy Moly – it’s an out of control toilet! Gee, and I thought this is where you went when you were feeling out of control!!! Look for my book in the fall, tentatively titled Lost With Translation and published by Discover 21 Publications. Hope this gives you the same giggle…

As I struggle to get my ducks in a row vis a vis my life and my time, I realize that there are things that I’m not going to be able to stop, and not going to be able to ignore. Chief among these is my commitment to my children. …
