Today I learned that my home state, Colorado, has the only open air pyre for cremation in all of the U.S. and I'm jealous that only community members (for understandable reasons) get to partake in it, because the more I learn about it, the more I want it for myself. I guess I know my retirement plan?

Finishing this chapter with a compare/contrast of Japanese views of death and the dead body vs. the American views struck home for me. More when I review the whole book either tonight or tomorrow. I really appreciate also Caitlin's sensitivity to and knowledge of the Japanese culture, and her pronunciation of the Japanese words and names. They weren't all perfect, but better than most English-speakers' attempts!
