母の日

   Since it's still (narrowly) Sunday where my own mother is, I think I
   can scrape by and still not feel late in saying, "Happy Mothers Day,
   mothers!" She and I just spent a happy half-hour discussing the trials
   and tribulations of moving into a Tokyo apartment. She reacted with
   proper Middle-American horror to the information that cold-water
   kitchen and bathroom sinks were still standard here until a decade or
   two ago ("Didn't I ever tell you that before in the last ten years,
   Mom?") and was relieved that my new place is hygiene-enabled.
   She was probably slightly worried about the throw pillows--I'm looking
   for this particular shade of poison-green raw silk, see? Not
   chartreuse...yellower and a little more intense. Kind of like danger
   yellow with green highlights...without actually being iridescent. It's
   one of those things you can see in your head, and it just maddens you
   when you've gone to every department store and shop you know and no
   one can give you the poison-green raw silk you want. ERGGGH. The
   problem has now gone global, with friends in Bangkok, New York, and
   San Francisco having promised to keep an eye out for me.
   Anyway, hope it a was a good weekend for everyone.
