My mom is Japanese, born and raised in Hawaii.  The name Sora is Japanese.   So now you know.

2/11/2013 1:13:50 PM: Fascinating Fact de jour:  Sora is my real name.  And it's not that unusual a name in some places in the world.

11/27/2012 12:01:06 PM: With all due respect (really) to those who have written to tell me that age is just a number, I have to disagree.  Age is much more than just a number.  It has a great deal of meaning and significance.  Other numbers also mean things.   If I were 3 feet tall and weighed 400 pounds would you say that height and weight are just numbers?   When you get pulled over by the police for speeding, do you tell them that speed is just a number?  How does that work out for you?   Or, when you get arrested for having sex with a 15 year old girl you can just tell the judge...  well, you know.   Good luck with that.
