Here we are on the cusp of Obon. I thought I'd exhume a piece I wrote about the holiday back in 1998, which netted me first prize in a writing contest. It's a pdf link, so click and scroll down to page 10.

Peggy Suicide! Nice choice!
Excellent piece of writing too! I liked the cheesy photo and I think "forced to shout in bad Japanese" should be the title of your next blog.

I found it all pretty unquel actually...
