10:09 Whoa! Just noticed that Shimbashi Station makes an appearance in that Beastie Boys video I just linked. Check out 00:58 and you can see the mural thingie on the wall above the stairway that heads down to the Yokosuka Line tracks/Ginza Line transfer exit.

This reminded Tengo of a certain event, something from the distant past that he would recall now and then. Something he could never forget. But he decided not to mention it. It would have been a long story. And it was the kind of thing that loses the most important nuances when reduced to words. He had never told anyone about it, and he probably never would.

Aomame nodded without changing her expression. She had absolutely no recollection of such an event [massive gun fight between radical group and police], but all she could do now was play along with him.

I just finished reading all three books in Japanese and wanted to see what the differences were between the Japanese and English versions so I googled and found your live blog. Thanks for doing this. I found it interesting. I can answer one of your questions about the translation of stocking feet.

Have you ever given much thought to approaching the New Year as a natural template for re-jigging your personal perspective on the year ahead? Jean Hersey suggests we try and it makes a lot of sense to me.

As she snuggles down in the Simple Abundance you have set apart for her, wrap her in comfort and tuck her in safety. Bless, protect and preserve all she loves, especially those darlings whose safety she worries about and keep watch over her until the darkness dissipates. And when the miracle of morning arrives, awaken her at first Light, with the deep knowledge that all will be well, even if it is different than she expected.


In November 1929, just one month after the famous stock market crash which set in motion the Great Depression, an editorial in The Household Magazine encouraged their readers to take heart and have courage as they faced the unknown.

There would be seven more lean Thanksgivings of economic uncertainty followed by five years of world war. How did our grandmothers and great-grandmothers drag themselves out of bed to make biscuits for breakfast? An image of my Kentucky grandmother rolling out dough in her salmon-pink chenille bathrobe has come to represent grace under pressure in the archives of my heart.

The tragic saga of the Donner Party is the most indelible tale of triumph and despair ever written in the history of the American West. Twenty-five hundred miles away and only two days from safety, 31 men, women and children were stranded for an entire winter in the Sierra Nevada mountains by a succession of the worst blizzards on record. Out of provisions and starving, some members resorted to cannibalism in order to survive.

Thank Heavens, somethings never change, Babe. This Thanksgiving week, just remember we are the Homefront.

Sending you dearest love, a prayer for your peace and plenty and blessings on our courage.

Many writers have been in exile when they wrote of a certain time, a certain place. Nothing soothes the broken heart holding the pen more than ritual, reverence and remembrance. Edith Wharton archly channeled the frantic yearnings of a poor girl dying to be rich on the fringes of New York society while Wharton was in residence on the French Riviera in 1905. James Joyce captured the dank, dreary despair of turn of the century Dublin from Paris in 1914. Ernest Hemingway portrayed the tempestuous bravado of the Spanish Civil War and bull-fighting matadors in a Mojito fueled decade writing five novels, a play and two collections of short stories while in Key West, Florida between 1929 and 1938.

When I invoked my first prayer of thanksgiving, I asked for the blessings of the women of Ireland who had gone before, including my cherished Irish Nana. I prayed for her to be everything I believed I was not: Brave, beautiful, courageous, compassionate, candid, eloquent, generous, full of Grace, healthy, honorable, passionate, protective, strong, soulful, a storyteller, a woman of wit, wisdom and wry. A wordsmith. Poet and artist. But most of all, I prayed for her to be Herself. There is nothing like holding your baby for the first time, unless it is watching them become a person you so admire that you shake your head in wonder, amazement and gratitude that somehow you were blessed to share their lives.

We are not the first people to hold our breaths on the edge of an unknown abyss, knowing that something dark has been unleashed upon the world and neither knowing what it is, how to fight it, survive it or overcome it. In 1919 as the smoke cleared and the catastrophic reality of the first World War was apparent, Yeats wrote one of his most prophetic poems entitled The Second Coming:

So being human, we turn away from not just the thought, but the poem and the prayer. Babe, this is not the day we stop praying. This is the day we increase them. So put your head under the pillow or bake a pumpkin pie, but for the love of all that is holy, please vote this Tuesday, November 8th and give thanks for the honor and great privilege of this blessing.


For over a year, Mikey and I slept in her bed and shared her bathroom; I wrote Peace & Plenty in a corner of her living room; he dozed safe and warm on her sun porch; we feasted at her delicious table and the three of us snuggled safely on her couch watching good triumph over evil in reruns of crime dramas that I missed while living in England.

Still, our great grandmothers were wise enough to realize that meditative hand work enabled them to create and maintain boundaries and were enterprising enough to form Ladies Gift Guilds in which to sell their wares bringing in much needed income when times were very tough and money was tight.

What thrift is: bountiful, generous, compassionate, vigorous, growing, abundant, blooming, copious, healthful, efficient. Thrift is practicing the art of elegant economies, such as gratitude, simplicity, order, harmony, beauty and joy (interestingly, all the six graces of Simple Abundance). Thrift is thriving, increasing, expanding and plentiful.

I was born into an Irish Catholic family which means I was born into a world of black and white and veils of one kind or another. Every Sunday, religiously, as one would say, we went to Mass. However, after the Latin Mass and frankincense were exchanged for American English and folk music in 1965, I felt as if I had been born into the wrong side of the aisle. I found peace in the mystery, wonder, beauty and awe of ritual; reverence in words that I might not understand, but responded to in my heart and soul on the deepest level.

Well, as I stated emphatically to my parents and Mother Superior, my life was going to be on the stage. The way I figured it, the theater was about as far away from God as I could get. Do you want to know how to make the angels laugh? Tell Heaven your plans.

Then I stepped away from the footlights and was blessed with a beautiful baby girl I cherished and I got the role of a lifetime as her mother. When she was about four, since I had never left her overnight, I asked her father if I could have a week-end away to collect my thoughts. I really had visions of a hotel, sleep and room service but then someone told me of an Episcopal convent which conducted weekend silent retreats. Perfect. The moment I drove into the convent grounds it seemed as if a spell came over me; by the time I walked down the hushed stone hallway to enter the chapel, I knew I was home. It was very unsettling.

Virginia Woolf once observed that the challenge of every writer or speaker was not to change the world but merely provide each reader or audience member with one provocative thought to write down, put upon their mantel and mull over. One life-changing thought is quite enough for any of us to take in on any given day.

The most significant thing I accomplished in my two yearsas a press officer of the Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC) was to arrange thefirst North American speaking tour for the great Yiddish poet Abraham (Avrom)Sutzkever in the spring of 1959. I had met him two years earlier during thesummer my husband and I spent in Israel, a meeting I have described in thesepages. When Sutzkever wrote to me, saying that he wanted to come to Canada, Icould not believe our luck.
