Change of Plans
though today's attempted journey to hiroshima failed to materialze, the day was by no means wasted entirely, though i did spend more time in himeji than i had originally planned on. the highlight of the day was meeting hana gradie, the newborn daughter of my friends david and ryoko gradie. she was born on 1 august and weighed in at 3.3kgs. david has expressed his fascination with the magic of sharing eye-contact with his daughter and today i had a chance to experience it. four foreign men walk into a japanese maternity ward to see a beautiful halfanese baby girl and i'm sure the nurses were wondering which one of us was responsible. david's never been happier and he carries himself with an air of relief. ryoko is healthy and happy and doing very well. tomorrow the baby will be placed back in her care.
i cannot express how beautiful she is. soon she'll be taken around town in a baby stroller and wearing clothes and putting things into her mouth to the chagrin of her parents. and an entire life unveils.
i have discovered various other magic including wikiBooks, videoblogging and an amazing new way to put away my laundry here:
is there anything that the japanese haven't thought of?

You understand. You know what I'm saying. Right on to the people up front right to the people at the back. Right on to the bartenders, right on to the waitresses. Right on to the DJ. Right on! Right on to the lady with the beer over there in the pink skirt. Right on to all them, mmm, English girls named Cherise. Blonde English girls with ghetto names, you know what I'm sayin'? I love that shit.
