二泊三日での信州旅行でしたが、天気がとてもよく日焼けしてしまいました。
'I want to be a sailor and go to sea,' I told my mother and father. They were very unhappy about this.The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (Oxford Bookworms Library)
'Please don't go,' my father said. 'You won't be happy, you know. Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life.' And because I loved him, and he was unhappy, I tried to forget about the sea.
But I couldn't forget, and about a year later, I saw a friend in town. His father had a ship and my friend said to me, 'We're sailing to London tomorrow. Why don't you come with us?'
And so, on September 1st, 1651, I went to Hull, and the next day we sailed for London.
But a few days later, there was a strong wind. The sea was rough and dangerous, and the ship went up and down, up and down. I was very ill, and very afraid.
ブロガーの方と名刺交換をする際にMooの名刺を渡されることが何回かありました。このサイズや紙の質感がいいなー、と思いつつ自分のは作らずに時間が経ってしまってました。。。Before I begin my story, I would like to tell you a little about myself.The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (Oxford Bookworms Library)
I was born in the year 1632, in the city of York in the north of England. My father was German, but he came to live and work in England. Soon after that, he married my mother, who was English. Her family name was Robinson, so, when I was born, they called me Robinson, after her.
My father did well in his business and I went to a good school. He wanted me to get a good job and live a quiet, comfortable life. But I didn't want that. I wanted adventure and an exciting life.
I find I'm so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head.HOPE is the best thing, I really think so.
I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel.
A free man at the start of a long journey...
...whose conclusion is uncertain.
I hope I can make it across the border.
I hope to see my friend and shake his hand.
I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams.
I hope.
人生に必要なものは「情熱、覚悟、能力」僕にはどれほどの情熱と覚悟があるのか、今一度振り返ってみたいと思います。

But the girl suddenly took his face between her hands, and kissed him on the mouth. 'Drive carefully, Mr Hollywood. Goodbye,' she said, with a big, beautiful smile.Goodbye, Mr. Hollywood. Mit Materialien. (400 headwords. Stage 1). (Lernmaterialien)
Then she turned and walked quickly away.
Nick sat down again watched her. She walked down the road and into a big hotel.
ふぐ料理・はも料理がメインのようですが、ちょっと高いこともあって会席コースを注文しました（笑。
コースメニューはこんな感じ。
・お通し2品
・まぐろ刺身
・季節の焼魚
・てんぷら
・ふくちり
・ふく雑炊
・香の物
・デザート
会席料理という認識だったので、ふぐは食べれないなあと思っていたら、ちゃんと"ふくちり"、"ふく雑炊"が入っていたので、ちょっと得した感じになりました。（まあ、季節はずれのふぐ料理なんですが。。。）
部屋も完全個室で、制限時間もなく、非常に満足なお店でしたね。
個人的に食べるのはちょっと高いので、また今度違うクライアントの接待で行きたいと思います。
今回の音クラスでは、、、
・発音する際のリズムや抑揚を意識する。
・本を読む速度は気にしない。それ以上に本の情景が頭に浮かぶように読む。
・無理はしない。
という点に気をつけて、3ヶ月間頑張りたいと思います。
次回は僕が大好きな映画、"ショーシャンクの空に"を見ながらの学習になります。非常に楽しみです。
学生の頃、ヨーロッパやインド、アラスカ等をバックパッカー旅行してました。往復の航空チケットのみ手配して、ホテルなんかは現地に行ってから探してました。
CrossOver Mac は、Mac OS X 上で Windows専用アプリケーションをネイティブに動作させるための互換レイヤーソフトです。僕は現在Parallels Desktop fof MACを使ってますが、Windows XPを立ち上げるのが少し面倒だなあと思ってました。（それ以外の機能は全然オーケーなんですけど。）
CrossOver Mac は、バーチャルマシン(OS上で動作する仮想的なコンピュータ)と違い、Mac OS X 上で Windows アプリケーションのネイティブな動作が可能です。
さらにアプリケーション互換レイヤーという性質上、Windows OS を必要としません。
An old man lived alone in the country. He wanted to dig his potato garden but it was very hard work as the ground was hard. His only son Fred, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.Fred's idea is very good. I like this funny story.
Dear Fred,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over I know you would dig the plot for me.
Love,
Dad
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Dad,
For heaven's sake, don't dig up that garden! That's where I buried the BODIES!
Love,
Fred
At 4am the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Dad,
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love,
Fred

僕が気に入ったのは、この像の写真ですかね。像の目を見ると本当に気持ち良いのが感じられますね。
今日は大学の友人の結婚式が綱島 三井倶楽部であったので、夕方から参加してきました。
しかし、結婚式は何回参加してもいいものですね。結婚する二人から毎回幸せパワーをもらえる気がします。
