My new Clark Kent look

Thursday, June 7th, 2012

Glasses as fashion are a fairly new thing, especially for them just being for the sake of fashion and not to help you see better – just look better?
You see NBA stars and others these days sporting big frames with either plain glass lenses or even no lenses at all.
Some of my students wear them, too.
I took a photo of me a while ago wearing some glasses that gave me sort of the Clark Kent look, but I had the chance to try some different ones a couple of days ago.
I’m not sure I’m really the super hero type, but I do believe my ‘secret identity’ self is a good cover 😉

Here’s a photo of me with the glasses:

Heiwa Koen Walking Course Path in Nagoya

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

These days I am trying hard to stay fit, and active, and of course, have fun while I’m doing it.

One of the things we’ve been doing as a family has been going for walks at the park near our home. It’s not all flat walking, but it’s not exactly mountain climbing either since you don’t have to use your hands anywhere along the way, but some of the paths do have their physical challenges, steps, rocks to step over, up, that sort of thing.

We’ve been going a couple of days each week, early in the morning. It’s cold now, but walking early is a great feeling. It’s also nice to see the other people who are out walking and yet not be crowded.

It sure beats walking on a treadmill. That is of course if you have the time to get out of the house or office.

Here are some pictures I took a few days ag0.

New Christmas Lights at our house

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

We got a bit of a late start on this, and we’re still not finished even though Christmas is just around the corner.

Our lights from the last few years have been dropping off one by one, so this year we had to get some new ones. We’ve looked at all the department stores and specialty shops but couldnt’ find anything that really went well for our house, so we ended up having to order some things.

We love the internet 😉

Here are a few pictures. They’re not great, but they give you an idea. We have more lights coming in the next couple of days so I hope to update things then.

UPDATE: added a couple of new strings of lights.
