HI, ladies!!
How are you??
It is Wednesday, September 17, 2008, today.
Yesterday, I was surprised by a big securities company’s bankruptcy in the USA, and the following stock prices’ falling around the world. Before hearing the news on TV, my father living in Osaka called me early morning. He’s got involved in the stock market for a couple of years, and had advised me to try some good stocks. But I hadn’t got yet. When I picked up the phone, he shouted to me on it, “Have you got the stock?!” “Not yet.” I replied, and heard a sigh of relief. “OK, it’s good. Now a stock market crash!!” then, suddenly the phone went dead, which is typical of him. After I found out the situation, I felt thankful for him with a smile.
Well, what may happen next, nobody can tell…I hope everything is going well. See you next, Bye!

Hi, ladies!!!
Thank you for letting us know the phone conversation between your father and you, Cherry. Your father worried about you because of his own advice that you should buy some good stocks. Having been relieved to hear that you had not got any, he hung up the phone abruptly. Yes, there are people like him around us (my husband’s father was that type), and so I just laughed to myself.
Tomorrow I am going to leave for Kumamoto, stay there for two nights and be back in Nagoya late at night on Saturday. I am going to stay at the hotel where Sunflower, Cosmos and I stayed two and a half years ago, when we visited the city for our researches.
Of course, I get very nervous when I think of talking before my audience. Sixty something members of the Japan Christianity History Association will attend the two-day conference, and there will be two sessions held at the same time. Mine is the only lecture meeting opened to the public and I don’t know how many people are coming to listen to my speech. The conference will be held at the school from I graduated, and perhaps the head of the school would like to take this opportunity to get back to the school as many graduates as possible. (A large number of private schools are suffering from management and financial difficulties, aren’t they? BIG SIGH…)
I just worry about Typhoon Number 13, which is forecast to approach the Kyushu Island this evening or early in the morning, and I hope my flight will not be cancelled tomorrow morning.
I hope all of you are having a delightful afternoon. Now, I will get back to work, my precious friends. Have a fascinating evening and sleep well… Goodnight.
Hi, everybody!
The weather forecast says it will rain for few days from tomorrow in Tokai area because of the coming typhoon. I hope your trip to Kumamoto will be safe without flight’s trouble, Plum. I believe your lecture will surely attract big audience.
I have recalled the trip with Plum and Sunflower, too.
Please have nice days in your hometown. I wish your success, Plum.
My precious friends, good night!
Hello, Cherry and my dear friends.
Rose, thank you for your interesting and fantastic story about Anne of Green Gables. It’s amazing Yuko Matsumoto has translated a new version of Anne of Green Gable and still been working to complete her translation of the whole stories.
Moreover, I’m happy to know that the NHK TV program for Anne of Green Gables will be rebroadcast from the coming October. I could hardly wait for watching that fabulous program. I wonder if the historical background of Anne is the Victorian era.
Do you think the Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is strong and powerful enough to take the place of the president of the United States in cases President John McCain should resign because of his death of illness, asassination or resignation
It is very important to scrutinize the quality of a vice president candidate Sarah if she becomes a president.
The American history saw that there were some cases that vice presidents became Presidents.
Then is Sarah qualified to work as President?
Sarah is about to become a vice president candidate, which is the hot-button issue in Presidential election in the U.S..
I assure that Sarah Palin is well qualified as a vice-president. However, I’m afraid she is not qualified to be a president, who holds the nation’s highest political office. There are several reasons why I have less credibility in Palin as a future president (if she assumes presidency immediately after the president’s death from illness, assassination or resignation.)
First, the president of the United States had a great affect toward the world. The person who will become a president is destined to shoulder enormous responsibilities, taking a leadership in the financial, political and diplomatic fields as well as military affairs under a high level of stress.
Sarah Palin may be a shrewd and tactful politician who fought her way upstream through her cutthroat politics, but she is also a mother of a baby who is less than a year. She also has an enormous responsibility to care for him. I wonder how she will keep balance between the heavy duties of president and motherhood. Both works are important but if Sarah assumes presidency, she should put the highest priority on the nation over her children. I wonder if she will be able do it.
Secondly, I know Sarah was and is a good operator of politics. But I’d like to say that the duty of president will be quite different from the ones of local governor. It will too hard for an average hockey mom who was involved in PTA activism.
Sarah is pro-life. She has respected tiny lives of children. That’s why she gave a birth to her fifth baby with hereditary disease and allowed her unmarried daughter to have a baby.
But who will take care of the baby of her teen-age daughter who is still a student. Sarah will have to pay attention to two little babies.
The conclusion is that it is important to think about the quality of the candidate of vice president Sarha, considering the case if she becomes president. She is qualified to a vice-president but there left a lot of questions about her president.
Plum, have a nice trip to Kumamoto.
I wish your lecture meeting will be successful.
Good-night, my precious friends.
