I love your site. I have followed it off and on for a few years now. I too went to Kubasaki in the early 80's. I was in the class of 84. In one of your Bon Journal entries you mentioned just randomly putting in names of people that you knew in High School, that is exactly how I found your site by doing a search for Anne Ku on Yahoo.
18 October 2003Just a quick word- I am totally amazed and overwhelmed by the sheer volume of writing on your site. How do you find such 'abundant supply' of time? May be you could start writing about time management in your next article when you have finished your current web domain project! :) All in all, the concept of your site is truly inspiring. I yearn to be able to utilise time as productive as you do. I am an illustrator by training and am currently studying and working in the information science field. -A suggestion, would it be useful to have a site map on analyticalQ so that everything could be shown at a glance? It would certainly improve navigation.

I think that about 15-20 parents and around 40-50 children will be there for Sunday. So I printed out 30 copies of the article you asked me to do. I would not know if the piano will be tuned because we just rent the Bubage School for Sundays. I assumed that the piano would be tuned regularly. You may come bit earlier to have a look.

Your many and varied accomplishments are truly extraordinary! Perhaps superhuman is a better word to describe your Olympian talents. It seems you have several people in your prodigiously gifted mind at one time! It is difficult for me to conceive of someone who has such intellectual range and artistic talent to the extent that you have exhibited! Your website has served as the impetus for me to embark on my own "portfolio career." I believe many are realizing that having a "multiple career" approach or "composite career," where people earn their money from a variety of sources, is becoming more common and acceptable in our society today and will doubtless become more prevalent in future years--probably the norm in the not too distant future.

I believe it has always been difficult for people with a diversity and multitude of interests of interests and competencies to fit comfortably in the workplace, where they are called upon to execute one basic task, a mind-numbingly boring and repetitive task, the daily execution of which serves to stymie creative personal and professional growth and development, which many times leads to profound frustration, disappointment, and feelings of failure. Work has been for too long defined in this narrow context, and we humans have had to function within this truncated model, a model that has to be redefined and modified if we are to survive in this new age of technological change.

It is so refreshing to know that you are publishing your thoughts gleaned from your years of personal and work-related experience and providing a much-needed forum for those who wish to share their particular experiences and relevant ideas.

In concluding, I would like to extend a special thanks to you for the inspiration you provided me to live my dreams and seek my destiny, emancipating me from the fetters of a much too constricting conception of work and life. I am anxiously awaiting an issue of your publication.

3 June 2003 SingaporeHi Anne! I went into your website trying to find your email address. But instead, I found so much about you which I never knew and congratulations on such a fantastic website which is more a relfection of yourself.
1 June 2003 USAI look forward to continuing to peruse your website, but so far I have concentrated on your diary. Your writing is beautiful and thought-provoking.
31 May 2003I hope your concert went well. Would have been interested in attending, but am on vacation in the States at the moment. I see you are giving a seminar on energy risk at the Oxford Institute.
25 May 2003Oh, thank you for those wonderful words about Mr. Darwin Scales. I knew him in 1962-63 in Okinawa when he arrived there as a young teacher. I never had him in class, but knew him at church. To this day, I can see his face, tears running down his cheeks, as he made that old church piano dance across the floor. I tried to find Darwin on the net a few years ago, but was unable to. I only wish I could have found him in time to tell him how much his love of God and music touched me through my life. Somewhere in Heaven, Darwin is making God's piano dance a new dance and play a new tune.
