    Spent the evening of the 7th day of December in Tokyo with Sugata Sanshiro (the JF one), NBK and the lovely, erudite Mrs. NBK.

    That it was the "day that shall live in infamy" was lost on my dinner companions I could tell, but the subject did come up indirectly.

    That it is now easy to forget in the midst of a gathering of Japanese and Americans is not entirely a bad thing.

    While forgetting the past entirely is certainly a mistake, living in someone else's past without ever letting go is a worse one. My father died having finally faced his demons (thanks is part to Louis Zamperini years ago), though I cannot say he entirely exorcised them. In any case, he clearly never intended them to be mine.
