You must be busy.
But don't work so hard.
Take it easy...relax!
Take a walk or jog around.

Hi Kato,
My truly romantic Taliesin!
How wonderful to see how FAT you were .. just kidding.
But you did look refreshed and it was good to see you.
I only wish I was as open-minded and warm-hearted as you think I am; holy cow, IF only!
Things are going fairly well with my boyfriend and myself although I do see some red flags as it were and I do miss my Westend lifestyle so things are not entirely smooth I must say.
We had a long discussion about it just this evening at supper ... not satisfactorily resolved just yet.
You see? Relationships are NOT for the timid.
Time will tell, n'est-ce pas?
How's it going over there at Joe Fortes today?!
Keeping busy, eh? I see ...
I thoroughly enjoyed your article.

(November 10, 2011)
Thanks so much for all this fascinating information on Anne Lindbergy.
I do agree that we all need time in our day for solitude and as much as possible I do try to achieve this, but it's not always easy.
Especially now with all my distractions here in Kitsilano.
Interesting idea about women being pioneers in this.
My experience has been that men in this country are more likely to be introspective than their female counterparts.
However, this may not be the case at all but just my experience.
I listened to all the interviews by the daughter as well.

She is rather strange woman, wouldn't you say?
Both of the Lindberghs seem to have been larger-than-life individuals, for sure.
...hope to hear from you again soon.
I'm getting better at my piano these days.
I must have you over one day for tea.
Thanks again, Kato.
Love, Diane ~
How true it is!
What's that?
Relationships are NOT for the timid. In Japan, they say, "虎穴に入らずんば虎子を得ず."
Translate it to me, Kato.
It literally says that you must get into the tiger's abode if you want to capture a tiger's cub.
I see. So, you must face the difficulty if you really want something, mustn't you?
That's right...nobody is perfect. So, naturally, you see some red flags with your boyfriend when you really want something.
Kato, you said that Madame Taliesin was a happily married woman, didn't you?
Yes, I did.
So, you often see some red flags with Madame Taliesin when you meet her in Japan, don't you?
Yes, Diane, you're telling me.
Don't you think you're involved in an extramarital affair?
No, I don't.
Why is that?
Let's suppose, here is a sukiyaki pot. Have you ever enjoyed sukiyaki?
No, I don't think I've ever enjoyed the genuine Japanese-style skiyaki pot.
The above pot looks delicious. In fact, you can enjoy the above pot as it is. However, you can enjoy it even more if I add some secret flavors or seasoning.
I see. So, Kato, you're saying, your relation with Madame Taliesin should be able to enrich her life, aren't you?
Yes, I am. Diane, have you ever seen the movie titled "Same Time, Next Year"?
I'm not sure. What is it about?
It goes like this:
Same Time, Next Year
It is 1975 comedy play by Bernard Slade.
The plot focuses on two people, married to others, who meet for a romantic tryst once a year for two dozen years.
New Jersey accountant George and Oakland, California housewife Doris meet at a Northern California inn in February 1951.
They have an affair, then agree to meet once a year, despite the fact both are married to others and have six children between them.
Over the course of the next 24 years, they develop an emotional intimacy deeper than what one would expect to find between two people meeting for a clandestine relationship just once a year.
During the time they spend with each other, they discuss the births, deaths, and marital problems each is experiencing at home, while they adapt themselves to the social changes affecting their lives.

Oh, this is an extramarital affair...I don't like it.
I thought you were open-minded.
I'm trying to be.
You may not like it, but it's a lovely story. The most of my friends loved the movie. Anyway, take a look at the video clip:

Interesting!...maybe, I'll borrow the DVD.
Please do...by the way, Diane, you said, Canadian men are more likely to be introspective than their female counterparts.
