When you go to lunch with Chieko Okazaki, expect to be interrupted. She's a colorful Life Saver. People are drawn to her like candy.

To tell the truth, it's why I also enjoy meeting her for lunch. She perks me up.

Let me tell you what I know about her.

First, she is thinking about another book. And she has a big box of talks she's given over the years that would make a good one.

She's traveling almost nonstop — except when she stops to be with her grandkids.
