あれからもう3年も経ったのだ。でも暖かい友情は変わらず。うれしく楽しい再会だった。夫人の同伴がなかったのがちょっと残念だったが、お話の時間がいっぱいあって良かった。Aokiでパンを買ってきてくれた。お茶とコーヒー、お水だけで盛り上がった楽しい時間。よーく見るとお顔のしわがちょっと見えた(私の顔にはもっと。。。)。

 なぜかハワイに行くようなシャツで来たので笑った。明日ニセコに行くので「これしかシャツがなかった」とか。訪問日までのメールのやり取りも楽しかった。Sloanさんの優しい暖かい気持ちがいっぱいだった、これぞ友達!年齢、どこの国の人か、性別も関係ない。いい人に囲まれている幸せを感じた日だ。

Colombia info. Bogotá, the national capital, is situated on a high plateau in the northern Andes Mountains.

Next to Venezera might be Columbia? I am worring about how Columbian President Gustavo Petro and its people fight for it.

I wonder my friend Felipe can stay in Paris peacefully. (Jan 10, 2026)

Past… and Not
I’m not sure if it was necessary.
I just wanted to say hello and goodbye,
to walk again the streets of yesterday
and the corners of my past.

To revive the ghosts of love,
the laughter of the night,
and the secrets of my mind.

I walked over and over,
up and down, right and left.
I saw the same shades,
the same stones,
the same lines.

I saw sadness and gray.
I saw the rain, the snow, the lake.
I saw youth and aged, life and death.
I saw the past, the present, and tonight.
I saw empathy and emptiness,
compassion and despair.
I saw doubt, fear, and neglect.
I saw myself — and I regained.

I walked. Again and again.
I saw your shadow and your smile.
I saw his fear and his mind.
I saw myself crying again.

I walked and kept walking.
I tried, failed, and tried again.
I was here.
And I am here again

No word to say about his historic performance on the MLB Semi Final on the 18th of Oct. 2025!

Shohei Ohtani paints his two-way masterpiece and sends Dodgers to World Series

By Fabian Ardaya  NYT
Oct. 18, 2025
LOS ANGELES — The legend painted his magnum opus on Friday night, with the Los Angeles Dodgers on the verge of the World Series.
Shohei Ohtani has tested the bounds of human comprehension for what a baseball player can do on a diamond from the moment he forced his way onto the radar. He has changed rules and challenged conventional wisdom and now, on the largest of stages, has his masterpiece.
Ohtani is the unicorn who flips his bat when he launches baseballs out of the stadium, the monster pitcher who grunts and pumps his fist after unleashing devilish splitters. It should not make sense that those two things are possible from one man, nor should it ever appear normal what Ohtani is capable of doing.
There will be 52,883 who will say (and millions more who will claim) they were there the night Ohtani put together perhaps the finest individual postseason performance this game has seen, who witnessed Ohtani launch two balls nearly out of Dodger Stadium and add a third blast for good measure, who watched him mow down a hapless Milwaukee Brewers lineup to send his team back to the World Series.
Those fortunate enough to see it firsthand could still not fathom what they’d just witnessed: The six scoreless innings in which Ohtani, in his 16th start since a second major elbow ligament reconstruction, struck out 10 batters and had perhaps his best splitter of the season. The three home runs, each as impressive as the last, including one that rocketed past the pavilion seats in right field and even stunned some of the most talented players in the world. A 5-1 Dodgers win to clinch the series might as well have been 3-0, Shohei Ohtani over the Brewers.
“It’s the limitations of the human brain,” said Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. “We can’t comprehend just how special this is and how unique. It’s one of one.”
“There’s a reason he’s the greatest player on the planet,” manager Dave Roberts said. “This is a performance that I’ve just never seen. No one’s ever seen something like this.”
The shock and awe did not set in even as the Dodgers accomplished their own history. It is their fifth pennant in the past nine seasons, and the Dodgers joined the 2009 Philadelphia Phillies as the only reigning World Series champions in the last 23 years to return to the Series.
They can thank the greatest performance in the greatest career we might ever see, the night that Ohtani flashed schoolyard-like abilities that had to be witnessed to be believed. The stat line borders on preposterous. The degree of difficulty boggles the mind of those who play a game that is increasingly specialized by the year.

♬🎤BTS World Tour ’26 The Site

( BBC 15, Jan, 2026) K-pop idols BTS have announced a globe-spanning, 79-date world tour, marking their return to the stage after a four-year hiatus. With dates in London, Tokyo, Munich, Sydney and Los Angeles, it’s likely to be one of the biggest tours of the year, especially as the band haven’t played outside the US and South Korea since 2019.

Their previous tour set records for a K-pop act – earning about $246m (£182m) at the global box office. Along the way, BTS became the first Korean act to headline Wembley Stadium.The band’s latest trek around the planet will kick off with three nights in South Korea’s Goyang Stadium on 9 April 2026, before setting off across Asia, Europe and America.

The show will see the band performing on a 360-degree, in-the-round stage, allowing for more seats to be made available at every venue. It will hit London for two nights at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 6 and 7 July. The European leg also includes dates in Paris, Madrid, Brussels and Munich.

A message on the band’s website said further dates would be announced in Japan, the Middle East “and more” for 2027. (See the bottom of this page for a full list of the dates so far.) Tickets will be available to fans from 22 January, and the general public two days later.

9/28 私の今年度最難度のリハチャレンジ「24段の階段昇降」を含むProfessor Ghim邸訪問。天候その他条件がそろい無事実践にこぎつけられ、大成功に終わった。「半年かけた計画が実行できて幸い」と発言したら「いや、1年でしょう?」と訂正が入った。きっとそうだ。「家に来てください」と言ってもらえて幸いだった。お土産は16通の「封筒」!


みんなに「研究」してもらい実験試行もしてもらった階段。幅・表面の滑らかさは問題なかったが角度があった。実際に昇ってみないと気づかないものだ。でもあっという間に18椴ぐらいにいた。「ブーゲンビレア、見た?」と訊かれたが、花を見上げる余裕など全くなかった!

以前はカフェレストランだったらしい邸宅、快適そうだった。でも三崎町は遠いなぁ。道すがら以前テニスで通っていた三崎警察署(のテニスコート)を見て懐かしく思った。畑・草地の続く道、青い空、楽しいドライブだった。

レモンリーフのお茶、フランスパン、桃のコンポートサラダ、ワイン、ブーシェ・ア・ラ・レーヌのムラサキキャベツ添え、オーブンで焼いたフレンチフライ、チキンの照り焼きマッシュルームのクリームソース、2種類のチーズ、リンゴのパイ、コーヒー。どれも本格的で美味だった。家でもお料理はGhim先生の担当でSylviはやらないんだとか。
