So beautifully told, even the cookie drool You SHOULD write a book! And perhaps so should the other person at the table. Everyone has a story, but I am sure you would tell it well.
p.s. I LOVE Japanese authors. I loved Banana Yoshimoto for years

How exciting for your friends. My aunt spent several years in Japan in the late 1960s as a missionary teaching English. I still think you can take the fortune to heart... you have a wonderful way with words. (Seven more weeks until BlogHer!) Tara R.'s last blog post..We need the rain…

First, I will loan you my current copy of 100 Years. It (and Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow) are books I can never hold onto because I keep giving my copies away.

And have you read Haruki Murakami? I stumbled onto him by mistake on the nutrias.org (NOLA Library) site, and decided I had to have After The Quake, even though that book was a Katrina casualty.

He’s fantastic (both in style and in quality).

What a way to bring you back to earth – cookie drool. I agree you should write a book – not about cookie drool!!!

Ah, the dried cookie drool. I know it well.

Sounds like a fun evening. And let me echo the chorus of “You SHOULD write a book…”

Ah, kids... they have such an ability to yank us back to earth. I "left" home after graduating and never went back. Many of my fellow classmates said they wanted to leave later. They never did. I wonder whether there is a small time frame for selling off your things and leaving for jobs overseas. Adventures can really happen anywhere can't they? lilalia's last blog post..Friends Indeed

It is wonderful….I’ve lived vicariously through Evenstar and Mau for a couple of years now. Great travel writing, photos and vids.

You should write a book. I'd read it. But perhaps leave out parts about cookie drool. Again, my gag reflex reminds me why I do not yet have children. Let me go look at my bank statement for some reinforcement. Katie's last blog post..I think not.
