Thank you! I can see how this concept would be tougher to execute in Japan, because of the culture. I'm considering offering my time and/or odder my assistance more than money. I don't know if that would work in Japan or not.
I haven't heard of Arnold's book but would have to look it up. It's a cool bit of serendipity! I like audiobooks too. It's so much easier to integrate into the "empty hours" of the day like -- walking, commuting, or working out.
I appreciate the comment! Enjoy the weekend!
