18
 to visit relatives north of Tokyo. His route was a busy three –
lane expressway he's never driven before. Alas, it dawned on

amusing. I was getting a tad bored with the predictable arch of
conversation. This is, in a way, my revenge on the world. I've
always felt didn't understand me, that I was the one getting the
