Hi, everyone!
Sunflower, I was sorry to have missed seeing you at the yearend party. I wonder your daughter could get well. From your report she has already been well, hasn’t she?
By the way, it was interesting that you discussed about discrimination at Jonathan’s meeting today. I am impressed with his word that defining discrimination was so difficult. I think everyone can become both offenders and victims in different situations.
So, see you tomorrow, bye!

Hi, everyone,
Yesterday our dog’s (actually he is my parents’ who live next-door) barking was so loud and it didn’t stop more than 10minutes. It was late at night, around 11, so I decided to go and see him. I was afraid that it bothered everyone’s sleep. I walked and fed him. My parents fell tight asleep however loud he barked. The stars were so bright and beautiful. I felt gratitude for our dog for letting me know that. My father usually walks him. Walking is good for his health. The dog ‘Teru’ likes walking so much that he pulls his master, which seems a little dangerous. Plum, I love your cats. Their elegant and gorgeous movements catch my eyes.
Animals surely have a healing power. See you tomorrow. Thank you.
Hello,friends.
I had a hectic day today because I had a job to teach at Toyota in the evening, so I prepared dinner before I left home in the morning for Cosmos's house to attend Jonathan's meeting. I cooked a pot-au-feu and went out.
After talking a lot about discrimination, Jonathan said," Japanese people are law abiding citizens and you know that you can't change law easily and even if you have some complaints against the law, you feel helpless to change it and just overlook it.
On the other hand Americans are litigious and they feel free to opose the law shenever they feel it strange or something wrong.
So I used to complain when I got a ticket for speeding or parking, then sometimes the police listened to me and passed it unmarked. So there can be an opportunity to change it.
There are still many discriminations against women or minorities or the weak, but most of them will do nothing because they think helpless to change discriminations. But you can do it. You are well educated and have good opinions, so you are not powerless."
He encouraged us as usual.
Hello, everyone!!!
Is everything going OK with you?
It is Thursday, December 13, 2007, today, and it seems that it rained on and off this morning, but I am so certain, since I looked out of the window just a few times. Anyway, it is not so cold and there is no wind so far, and so it is good, at least to me.
I woke up quite early this morning, not completely, though. I was drowsing for a while, half asleep and half awake. It was, of course, still dark, without any sunlight. I was thinking dimly what I did yesterday. Yesterday was the last workday for this semester, and I was very happy that I was able to finish all my paid work for this year.
My daughter and I came back home at around 4. (My daughter drove me to and from my work place each week after coming back from Sydney last month, since I was too weak to take the subway or train.) While we were away, my merry maid cleaned up my house. No sooner had we arrived home than my daughter started to get ready for supper, because normally her baby gets grumpy and cries a lot in the evening, which makes her stop cooking, and we end up eating supper quite late.
My husband came home earlier than usual, and at dinner we discussed our yearend and New Year holiday plans. We will be quite busy going to Ohita and Osaka, and perhaps Mie also. There are lots of arrangements to make, but anyway it is just a once-a-year event, and so it’s OK no matter how busy we are. We can manage.
My daughter has gone out to see a friend of hers with Yujin, and now, this quiet early afternoon, I am spending my time, which is very limited, as I like, which is, oh, so wonderful.
I will talk to you again tomorrow. Bye for now, my precious friends.
Dear Peach,
I really enjoyed your story about Teru. I thank you for your mentioning my cats. Actually they are not so graceful, but they are my good friends and I am glad that I have them with me in my house.
My son has two cats with a pedigree, which are quite gorgeous, in his place, and wants me to have them, since he and his wife got a baby girl in June, but his wife said that she just could not give them away. They are her “lovers”.
Anyway, animals are cute whatever they are, aren’t they?
