澄み渡った空に、
雪化粧をした富士山が立っていました。

今日は今にも雪模様になりそうな冷えた空気です。
そんな中、海さんと彩さんが遊びにやってきました。

暖かい部屋の中で、外の寒さも忘れて、
ナコスで進めているウェブを、将来に向けて広げていく為の試みをしたりして、
おしゃべりをしました。

二人は豆粒のような画面を見ながら、器用にリサーチしています。
私にとって新しいことも少しずつ前進していきます。
最後にはスカイプで、九州の幸代さんにも小さな一歩を報告しました。

みんな楽しい人達ばかりで、大笑いをしすぎて、室内で運動をしたような一日でした。
どうもありがとう！

先日、横浜にあるおでん屋さんに行ってきました。このおでんの汁の仕込みには、なんと1ヶ月はかかるそうです。様々な具の味が深みのある味を出し、時間をかけてしっかりと具に染み込んでいます。特に大根は絶品です。毎冬の楽しみです。

余談ですが、おでんにも地域差があるようです。私の住んでいる神奈川県では、コンビニでおでんを買うとカラシがついてきますが、北海道では味噌がついてくるそうです。それからもう一つ。私のお気に入りのちくわぶは元々関東地区の具でほかの地区のひとには馴染みがないそうです。

Perhaps you have had the unfortunate experience of being on a boat and getting sea sick. I always joke with my customers when I tell them I have never met anybody weaker on the water than me! I used to get very seasick. I would often be sick before the boat even left the harbor! I know that some of it was mental but fortunately for me, being on boats in rough seas finally got me to the point where it does not bother me anymore. Not only does it not bother me but I can not understand why it did in the first place! I have had a few times where I actually had the opposite happen to me. When I worked on the tug boats I would often be on the boat for 2 weeks or more at a time in very rough seas. I got so used to walking on the boat when it was rough that when the boat would pull into port and I could get out I actually got land sick! When I took a step I was used to the deck of the boat meeting my foot before I put it down but for the first 10 minutes or so I looked like I was drunk! That part would usually pass fairly quickly but it took me a while to get used to being on solid ground again and I would actually get a “queasy” feeling because there was no movement. I still have that sometimes if the seas are rough when I work on the submarines because I am usually on the water for about 10 hours. I don’t know what would happen to me if I was on the water for a month or so at a time!

Some say laughter is good medicine. Some say certain pills are good medicine. Some say ice cream, I guess because it tastes good, is good medicine.

There is a man that spent his life working hard, doing all he could do to get the job done. One day he got a headache. So he took some medicine to relieve the pain. Some days later, working hard, this young man got another headache. This time it was more severe. He soon began getting migraines and decided to see a doctor. So, the doctor gave him some medicine for the migraines that went away. But something else began to happen. He began to lose blood. This young man went to the doctors again where he passed out in the ER.

The doctor found that the young man had a bleeding ulcer that had ruptured an artery. Losing a large amount of blood, the young man almost lost his life. Fortunately he recovered. He realized that he had put so much stress on his body by working that his body gave up.

Stress kills. a good medicine against stress is to just relax. Take it easy. Take some time to enjoy life. Have a good laugh. Don’t work your body to death. You only have one.

What do you consider good medicine?
