As if You Need Another Reason

It's funny how one event can change a person's perception. If I were to do a free association of "Japan" just last week, I would have thought of the following: sushi, Shinto Temples, Tea-Ceremony, Ukyo-e Prints. Lots of happy, interesting thoughts.

Now so much has changed.

This disaster isn't just a shift in perception. The whole country moved eight feet. The earth's axis wobbled. The images and numbers are so staggering, it's hard for me to wrap my head around it.

Please consider giving to the Red Cross or Doctors Without Borders.

To sweeten the deal, United will give 500 miles for each donation to the Red Cross. You can even donate unused miles.

This is just too big to ignore.
