...children's-book author, David Kirk has a gilt-edged resume: son of puppeteers from Ohio; onetime toymaker; lives in a home in the woods full of small model robots and often works from his two-story Victorian-style tree house; has two daughters, Violet and Primrose, and another, Wisteria...
From Tsukiji it's an easy 20-minute walk or a short cab ride southwest to Hamarikyu Garden, one of the prettiest in the city. Stroll over wisteria-covered bridges and past 300-year-old pines toward the Sumidagawa River and hop a $6 ferry to Asakusa, one of the few historic areas left in this overdeveloped metropolis.

Follow the crowds to the site of the 7th century Sensoji temple, where you can check your odds of landing the big business deal...

Under the influence of his strong strumming hand and carefully written lyrics, he evoked images ranging from a traffic jam on the Pennsylvania Turnpike to a young Confederate soldier running scared. The audience received new songs like "Wisteria" with less enthusiasm. Perhaps such mini-flops could be attributed to the decidedly unattractive set. There was no chance for stage-rushing, since the Boston P.D. fences kept Shindell far from the calm crowd. Shindell creates passion in more intimate venues, where the audience can see the sweat...
