I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of the weather here in New York. A week ago we had a searing hot spell. Before that, it was rain, rain, and still more rain. As I write this it has rained two out of every three days for a month. But sometimes rain is a [...]

Flying into Osaka twice, once from Tokyo, then again after a nice sojourn to Bangkok, Thailand, reminded me of the movie Black Rain which starred Michael Douglas as New York Police Detective Nick Conklin. Black Rain appeared in the theaters way back in 1989, and has been replayed many times in my own home. Douglas [...]
