Golf Practice

Hi, everyone, it’s Ken23e. I’m supposed to go golfing on the 20th of this month. So, I went to a golf practice range (driving range) with my colleague this evening. I had jammed my thumb a little, and <strike>that is why</strike> so I couldn’t get <strike>along well with my</strike> any good practice in (I mean, I hope it’s the <strike>true</strike> real reason). Anyway, I have to practice more before the 20th!! BTW, my kids have their school music recital tomorrow (actually it’s today because it’s already 4am). Well, I have to go to bed ASAP, good night.^^

Do you enjoy golfing? I can't really get into the sport myself. Talk to you soon Ken!

Good Day^^

Hi, everyone, it’s Ken23e. Today marks three years since the day that my mother passed away. <strike>Since then it has been exactly 3 years</strike>. This morning, my family and I visited the cemetery where she rests peacefully. First, we cleaned up around her grave, next we placed flowers on it, and lastly we talked to her within our own hearts. Afterwards, we headed to my father’s house. There, I found a letter written by him for my mother, on the family altar. I read it, since he told me that he never minds if I do. The letter was full of his love. I hope that my wife and I will spend our life like them. Anyway, I’m so happy to be able to have such a really good holiday!!

Ken, sorry I do not get to correct every one of your entries, it has been a very busy week, I do read them all though! Keep up the writing! I wish you and your family all the best.

Today's Happy Occasion

Hi, everyone, it’s Ken23e. Today, to my delight, my son’s artwork was elected (picked) to represent his class for the kid’s art show <strike>of</strike> in the city. The show is supposed to take place for 3 days, from the 6th to the 8th of this month. He was proud of himself <strike>with</strike> for having achieved consecutive elections for the past 4 years, even though he is only in the 4th grade. I heard that he made a print art, but I don’t know<strike>n</strike> what kind of print he drew on it yet.^^; Anyway, we are really looking forward to visiting the show hall and <strike>watching</strike> seeing/ viewing his work.^^

おめでとうございます！

Lazy Man

Hi, everyone, it’s Ken23e. My friends and I <strike>had</strike> played mahjong <strike>all through</strike> the entire night from 10pm to 7am, so I’ve been tired <strike>yet</strike> despite having a few hours rest. We usually bet money while playing mahjong, but the pots are always quite low. Therefore, there’s no worry but a lot of smiling and laughing.^^ Actually, I only won 160 Japanese Yen in total. We rested for an hour after the last game was over, and then we headed <strike>off to</strike> home. My wife looked more or less frustrated because of my laziness all the day. Of course I know that’s natural^^;

Sounds just like an american poker night to me!

Today's Activity

Hi, everyone, it’s Ken23e. Today, my colleagues and I visited one of our company’s R&D centers in Aichi prefecture by car. We would attend a meeting and participate in a workshop there. The meeting took place from 1pm to 3:30pm, and the workshop, from 4pm to 6pm. After work, we stopped by <strike>at</strike> a restaurant that serves beef bowls to fill our appetites. The beef bowl <strike>which</strike> I ordered was full of grated radish and had ponzu sauce on it. It smelt so good that I inhaled it for a few minutes. That’s what eating the beef bowl is all about, I think.^^ Well, good night everyone.^^

Ken, I split up the first sentence because it was kind of long. Other than that there were just a couple things :)

A Doting Father?!

Hi, everyone, it’s Ken23e. Today, my older daughter showed me some photos of her time at summer camp this year, right after I had come home. There were a lot of pictures of her activities such as lunch time, cooking, canoeing, campfire, wood craft, climbing, sleeping room and so on. Her smile<strike>s</strike> in the photos were really nice / spectacular / beautiful, and they made me happy.^^ BTW, in her class, there is a kid actress who acted as the heroine’s friend in the “Ike-chan to Boku” movie. The girl and my daughter were on the same team, so they <strike>were</strike> took many photos together. The girl is very cute, but of course my daughter is much cuter!! Well, good night.^^


Great entry Ken, you are always talking about your children. You must love them very much as any father would! How old are they?
