今日は、Team NACOS の、新しい演奏レパートリーを増やしました。
大好きな Billy Joel の ”Honesty” を、少しワイルドに弾いてみました。
ヴァイオリン編曲の「夜明けのスキャット」もピアノと合わせてみました。

10年程前から、毎年、ハワイのナコスに英語研修にいらした博子さん。
今回は湘南に降り立って、一緒に坂の街を散歩しました。

素敵な一日となりました～～どうもありがとう！

The Cherry Blossom Festival here in Washington D.C. has begun. The date for them to be in full bloom is on Saturday. I really enjoy viewing the cherry blossoms because not only are they pretty, but I know spring is upon us too. This year, however, spring has come late. The calendar says it’s April and the cherry blossoms are out but you wouldn’t know that by the way the it feels outside. I had to wear a jacket yesterday because it was so cold. I like the cold season but right about now, I’m ready for spring.

きのうは雨。きょうは晴れ。
わいわい市場へ生みたて卵を買いに行きました。

あしたは曇りのち晴れ。あさっては曇り時々雨。
しあさっては曇り時々晴れ。よかった！
しあさっては横浜方面へヴァイオリンを担いで練習に行きます。
雨の日と、雪の日と、夏の暑い日に、
ヴァイオリンを持って歩くのは大嫌いだからです！

My dog koko was sadly put to sleep today(4/7), at the age of 13yrs old. For the past 7yrs, I had good times with him. He would always sleep with me on the futon. Almost every night after coming home from work, I would take him walking to use the restroom. Same can be said after I wake-up in the morning. Once in a while, I would play hide-and-go-seek with him. Being that his level of sight is low, due to his height, he wouldn’t see me on higher grounds, which I thought was funny. I would often tickle him in his ticklish areas. He always had to be near someone. If I was sitting on the couch, he would make crying sounds to let me know he wants to sit on the couch, too. He was able to sense anger when I was mad, losing at video games. Also, he knew when he was going to get scolding, after peeing or pooping on the floor and not on the training pads. And I find it funny that, he would hide when he knew it was time to bathe. I miss him a lot!!!He was a smart dog even though he was not trained. I’m sure he’s playing with my other dog Nalu who passed away in 2012. He is not alone.
