I got the name from the album by Phil Collins (1982 - whew, I'm old!), which basically summarizes our contemporary life: busy, busy, no time to share anything meaningful.
The blog, of course, is a way to fight against that sad state of affairs -- but only if you readers participate in the give-and-take!
Please post comments, ideas and questions!

Photos of minor quake damage in Yokohama
Here are some photos from the Yokohama station area, showing some minor damage. The earthquake (8.8 or 8.9 at source) was measured at 5 in our area, which is not very bad, and damage appears limited.
Glad you guys are OK. Thanks for posting these photos. It's hard to tell from TV what the extent of the damage is since they keep showing the same images (nuclear plant, airport under water). How are the markets and what not? I've heard reports that they're basically cleared out.
Well, here in the Tokyo/Yokohama area, some stores have been closed (mostly because of transportation difficulties), so the open ones have sold out of some things. Not too bad, though.
