Hi Kato,
I think you're right, kiddo.
Summer seems to be over ... well, almost.
In the mornings you can feel the chill, it's definitely not as light as before, but, come afternoon ~ well it feels downright summerish.
... hope it lasts a bit longer.
Thanks so much for the following article:

I just can't seem to get myself interested in the political issues of the day for some reason.
I know I should, or at least many friends tell me I should, develop an interest but it just doesn't grab me.
I'll try, though.
By the way, the Vancouver Library has a new writer-in-residence, Rawi Hage, and he's giving his inaugural reading at the Central Branch on Sept. 17th.

Might be interesting, do you think?
I'm hoping to attend, even though it conflicts with my Kundalini yoga class.
I Went to JFS (Joe Fortes Library) earlier today.

I took a look around the joint hoping to see you, but, alas, no Kato.
Next time, maybe ...

Hi Diane,
How are you doing?
we've got a nice and gorgeous day, today, haven't we?
(vanc700.jpg)
As you said, in the mornings I can feel the chill, it's definitely not as light and warm as before.
Like today, however, it feels downright summerish.
Yes, yes, yes... I hope it lasts a bit longer, too

Yes, yes, yes ... I understand that.
If possible, I'd like to get rid of politics altogether.
Politics is a dirty and nasty thing behind the scenes.

Well ... Each person has his or her own interest and color.
Nobody has a right to change your color.
You've got your own marvelous shining color, which I can see!

Yes, yes, yes ... I've noticed the poster in the elevator.

He's an award-winning writer.
It must be interesting.

I'd like to attend, but I'm gonna leave for Japan in the beginning of October.
I'll stay in Japan for a month and will be back in November.
