I have never understood, for example, how come a child can climb up on the roof, scale the TV antenna, and rescue the cat. . . yet cannot walk down the hallway without grabbing both walls with his grubby hands for balance.
I married my Japanese wife Mayumi who I'm so happy with, she's been so supportive. I live part time in Japan at her house, so I've been always very influenced by Japan. Since I guess the 70's or so. I've come to appreciate so much of their culture.
