David,
So very, very nice to hear from you. I've been there, in that hotel room! I'm with you 100%.
It's absolutely great to hear that all is going well. So nice to hear that baby (well, she isn't any more, but she and Tai-chan will always be in my mind!) is thriving. Tai-chan is so damned earnest, so JAPANESE that I know he will apply himself so well to any studies that come up. In a way, it's good that he's being raised by the Nazi Japanese -- oh, don't mistake me, there is still a part of me that really hates those bastards . . . -- but if he were here right now no doubt he would become a sloth like me. Doesn't mean I'm going to let them get away with controlling his life. No, I can be a turbo-charged dynamo if need be, and I will if anything untowards happens. It won't. But good to know that those bastards are finally considering the 20th century (not 21st) as a part of the plan.
Fucking militarists to the core. Just won't get off the "duty, honor, family, group" wagon. To the death! Yes, let's all commit mass suicide and make sure to kill the kids too because they don't know about honor or the Emperor yet. Death, that's the honorable way!
Sorry. Just had to let it out there! Like you marching up an escalator at Osaka station and smashing past all the bloody sheep.
Definitely a love-hate relationship with those people. Imagine getting married to Adolf Eichmann's daughter. Can you say dilemma?
Sure beats Hello Kitty.
