Christmas decorating is becoming simpler by the year but I bought a new tin Christmas train and was given a handmade “pine cone” Christmas Tree.
歳を取って行くとクリスマスデコレシオンはだんだんとシンプルになって行ってます。でも今年は新しいクリスマス機関車を買いました。そして、手作りの松ぼっくりのクリスマスツリーをもらいました。

NASA is returning to the moon for the first time in 50 years with Artemis

(Artemis is NASA’s renewed mission to the moon and maybe even further. Launch Date is August 29 2022)

NASA’s Artemis 1 Launch Director is female and will be assisted by 30 other female engineers working in the control room with her.

We’ve come a long way since the first moon landing back in 1969 which was completely dominated by men.

================

Charlie Blackwell-Thompson: First Female Launch Director appointed by NASA for the Artemis 1 Mission scheduled on August 29 2022.

(Why is it called the Palmetto State? …South Carolina is called “The Palmetto State” because of its large population of Sabal Palmetto trees, however, the state’s tree is the cabbage palmetto and the state’s flower is the yellow jasmine. The palmetto tree is seen on our state flag.)

Happy New Year 2022

Dear Students and Friends,

Happy New Year!!
Wishing you all the best in 2022!!
May it be a better year for all of us.

昨年も気軽に外出ができない日々が続いておりましたがお陰様で、健康に過ごさせていただきました。

最初は、試行錯誤のオンラインレッスンも 今では順調に数が増え、また、以前のように帝塚山校でのプライベートレッスンも受講くださり、生徒様皆様には、心より感謝申し上げます。

皆様のおかげで、今年もなんとか新年を迎えることが出来ましたこと大変嬉しく思っております。

皆さまにとって心穏やかに、実りある1年になりますよう、心よりお祈り申し上げます。

本年もどうぞよろしくお願い致します。

英語のオヤジギャグ …

TImage result for wordsmithhis is quite clever and fun if you enjoy “wordsmithing” (言葉の遊び). 
I wonder who thinks of all this stuff.
Smith…はよくある英語の名前。IronSmith 又はBlackSmith(鍛冶屋さん), GoldSmith(金細工氏), SilverSmith (銀細工氏), などから来てる。
だから…WordSmith は言葉を上手に操る人です(ジョーク!)。
“Searching for a Job”
(あるシニアの方が新しい仕事を試したところ…)
1.  My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory, but I got canned .  Couldn’t concentrate.
2.  Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack, but just couldn’t hack it, so they gave me the axe .
3.  After that, I tried being a Tailor, but wasn’t suited for it, mainly because it was a sew-sew job.
4.  Next, I tried working in a Muffler Factory, but that was too exhausting.
5.  Then, tried being a Chef – figured it would add a little spice to my life, but just didn’t have the thyme.
6.  Next, I attempted being a Deli Worker, but any way I sliced it…. I couldn’t cut the mustard.
7.  My best job was as a Musician, but eventually found  I wasn’t noteworthy.
8.  I studied a long time to become a Doctor,  but didn’t have any patience
9.  Next, was a job in a Shoe Factory.  Tried hard but just didn’t fit in.
10.  I became a Professional Fisherman, but discovered I couldn’t live on my net income.
11.  Managed to get a good job working for a Pool Maintenance Company, but the work was just too draining.
12. So then I got a job in a Workout Center, but they said I wasn’t fit for the job.
13.  After many years of trying to find steady work , I finally got a job as a Historian – until I realized there was no future in it.
14.  My last job was working in Starbucks,  but had to quit because it was always the same old grind.
15 .  SO, I TRIED
RETIREMENT
AND I FOUND I’M
PERFECT FOR THE JOB!
