CURRENT MISSION I hadn't thought about it. ABOUT ME I have lived in Japan for 30 years and would at my age (almost 70) find it difficult to move--although I do have my eye on a little village in Vietnam. Our two kids, Ian and Mie, live in San Francisco. They grew up thinking Japanese and English were the same language--some people spoke one, some another. PHILOSOPHY Simple is best.
Fluent in English
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE The idea seems wonderful, although I have no experience.
Music, Movies, and Books
I'm reading Anthony Powell. I subscribe to The New Yorker, Spectator, NYTimes, stuff like that
One Amazing Thing I've Done
The whole family raced bicycles at one time. I find Vermeer impressive. I used to speak Dutch but it has slipped away.
My Interests
Bach, Puccini (give me a good sporano anytime), the coming of Spring, my sweet lady Mikie
