I read this to my wife just now. I can see that we're in for a real treat when our little girl grows up enough to start talking. (She's a month or so from being born right now.) And I agree with mmk: Your answers are pretty darned clever! Anthony is a lucky boy. Wow. I read this to my wife just now.

You have a wonderful idea for the details that make Japan so special; reading your blog reminds me of everything I love (and hate (accommodating smokers!)) about the country. I also really enjoy your postings about Anthony. It's clear that he is a great kid and you adore him. I lived in Japan (Kumamoto) in the early 90s and have returned several times since, for both work and pleasure, most recently last October with my husband, almost 2-year-old daughter, and my parents. Niether my husband nor my daughter (Christina) had been in Japan before and so it was a very special trip to Tokyo, Kumamoto, Osaka and Kyoto. Have you taken Anthony to the Osaka Aquarium yet? Christina loved it. Thanks for providing some natsukashii moments for me.

I'm thinking I might have to wait until next month. <span class='jfriedl'>There's something that I've not been very clear on. I know that there are an infinite number of fractional numbers between each integer. If you sum up those infinities (for each of the infinite integers), is <i>that</i> infinity more than the irrational-number infinity? Also, when you take either of these super-infinities and divide them by zero, what do you get? I'll ask Genbo next time I see him... —Jeffrey</span> I can’t wait until Genbo is able to comprehend the fact that even though there are an infinite amount of counting numbers, there are even infinitely more irrational numbers.

Children are an amazing gift for all of us who were children once (that is, all of us). We are truly lucky to be entrusted with their lives for as long as they will let us. “Wow” is right.
