日本＊ピング＊ (kono risuto ni hairitai ka detai wo shirasete kudasai : let me know if you want on or off this list)
I was just outside gazing at snow white Mount Waita over Oita way , and thinking to myself ...That CT Yankee I , 67 years after PH , am now teaching in Japan ; am married to a Japanese woman ; and own a house here . If I’d been 20 years old in 1944-45 and peacefully walked around this tiny hamlet in the Kumamoto hinterland I would not have lasted long . Some old lady with a pointed stick would have jabbed me through the heart with it .
