A couple of years ago, my dad took up feather lei making as a hobby. He’s very enthusiastic about it, and he works on them every night. He usually gives the leis away as gifts, but about a year ago, he actually sold one! My parents were at a store getting some of my dad’s leis framed in a shadowbox, and the salesperson really liked them. She asked my mom where leis were from, and when she found out, she asked if my dad would sell any to her. He did, and I think the salesperson paid a little over $100 for one, which is actually a pretty good deal for a feather lei.

Violin弾きのお美っちゃん～３０

青いパパイヤは……

　４月になりハワイはだんだん暑くなってきた。そして、これからもっともっとハワイらしい色調が濃くなっていく。空と海の「青」も、雲や船の「白」も鮮やかさを増す。街路樹の、黄、橙、桃色の花々は風に揺れて青空に遊んでいる。平和……だ。

　３月に、アメリカの軍関係に勤務する知り合いがイラクへ行った。「いつハワイに戻れるかわからない」と彼は緊張気味に微笑んで、その夜ハワイを発った。その時私は「戦争」という湿気を含んだような重苦しさを身近に感じた。 Continue reading →

北海道にいってから2kgほど太ってしまったので、
debleの体重90kgを切ろうの会が再び発足されました。

その初日として実に半年ぶりに近くの市営の温水プールへ。
ウォーキング、バタ足、など久しぶりに水と戯れるdeble。

最後に400mノンストップで泳いだだけなのにゼイゼイ。
再び1km以上泳げる日まで、そして90kgを切る日まで、
週1、2くらいで継続していきます。

えぐっち、今さんた、またいきやしょう!

最果ての地でのハプニング

Posted on April 9, 2003 by TatsuruArimura

When I was a university student of 21 years old at my previous university, I traveled all the way to Hokkaido by train. I went to Wakkanai city, which is the northernmost city in Hokkaido and also in all of Japan. One morning, while staying at an inn in front of the station, I walked for about 10 minutes to the convenience store to buy breakfast. There I bought some food and went back to the station the same way that I came, but when I tried to take out the ticket to ride the train from my coat, I could not find it anywhere.

This ticket was one that could be used to ride the railroad free all over Hokkaido, and it was also my ticket home which was 1500 km from Hokkaido. So, if I lose this ticket, I can’t go home!!

I hurriedly looked for the ticket in my clothes, my bag, and my hotel, but it was in vain. I thought that I might have dropped it on my way to the convenience store, so I went to the convenience store while gazing at the road, but there was nothing there, either! As a last resort, I asked the salesclerk of the convenience store, but I still couldn’t find it. Continue reading →
