    • Thanks very much for your concern.

      We are okay here, though the earthquake was very spooky. Are you okay?

      I suspect Japan is being targeted, too.

      Happy New Year to you. Let’s make the world a better place in 2024!

      • Thank you for your reply.
        I am glad you and your family are safe.
        I live in Kansai and was scared by the long unnatural shaking in the afternoon on the first day of the new year.
        Thank you for your concern.
        I am sorry for the delay in greeting you, but I wish you a happy new year.
        I will not yield to any authority if I am not convinced.
        Sometimes I am too busy with personal matters to read your blog, but I try to read as much as I can when it is updated because it gives me insights that I tend to overlook on my own in many ways.
        Salinger is my favourite author too.
        I identify very much with Holden Caulfield and I see a lot of similarities with him.
        But my favourite was “Franny and Zooey”, and I still cherish that emotion.
        When I was younger, I was just like Franny.
        I was fastidious, clumsy, I couldn’t tolerate the hypocrisy around me and I was lost, not knowing how to live.
        Not much has changed even now.
        Maybe I haven’t grown up lol.
        Anyway, I still feel as if the lovable characters Salinger portrayed still exist in my mind.
        See you later!
        ps. Please forgive me if my English is imperfect.
