Lunch with Haruki
I and Ritsuko came to school to eat lunch with Haruki.
Students made some poster and their teacher invite kid's parents.
This was 1st time for us to eat lunch in American elementary school.
Lunch area was in gymnasium, it was small space and short time.
Everyday Minami(Haruki's younger sister) can not finish all.
My wife is school nurse in Japan, so she has small opinion about school provided lunch.She says dietary education is very important for kids to grow up well.
We should teach that do not leave food and have a balance diet.

The Phantom of the Opera
Today I went to Broadway to see opera, "The Phantom of the Opera", which is very traditional and most popular.(Of course after working!)
I was impressed with the song and orchestra music. That was first time for me to see opera. It was very interesting and I want to see more opera!

NY city was very crowded, because it was the first day of the big tree in front of the Rockefeller building was lighted by a lot of illumination.
There were many people and also police men!Every shop was also lighted up and decorated by illumination and Christmas ornament, it was very cute and beautiful.

Business trip to NY!
I came NY for business trip.
I stay for 5 days in NY.
It is 2nd time to visit to NY, but I could not reach NY city at chance of 1st time, and I want to go to Manhattan.
There are 2 hours time difference between Boise and NY. It is small time, but I felt not small and had jet lag.
I drove rental car in downtown NY and went to hotel.
I ate ramen, it was Chinese noodle but modified in Japan.
Almost every Japanese like ramen.
It was hard to drive for me, the road was very complex and sometimes lost though I had car navigation.

Light Up!
Today I tried to light up my house with illumination, snow man and some ornament.
It was very interesting and I want to increase light more and I went to near shop to get more lights. The total amount of light went up to about 800!
Kids were exciting and they want to more ornament. I think so too, it will increase.
I am looking forward to Christmas day!
Black Friday
Black Friday!
I did not know about that word before living U.S.
I thought it was bad word for business scene like recession.
But it means all shop move into black,they achieve a budget surplus.
Our family I and my wife went to shopping by rotation.
At first my wife get up early morning at 4 a.m. o'clock and she went to Boise mall.
After breakfast we family went to furniture shop and Costco.
I bought blueray DVD player. Blueray has same regional code between U.S.A. and Japan, so I can use it in Japan!?

Letter Opener
Today I tyred letter opener.
It was easier than pen turning.
Because turned only one piece.
I made it more simply, but it was difficult for me.
It showed low skill of turning clearly.
So I'm gonna try simple shape next project for skill upgrading training.

Turning pencil
I made 3 pencils today.
The theme was Fall, but it became so cold recently.
In Japan, we ate sweet potato.
My son Haruki choose the color of sweet potato.
My daughter Minami requested several composite trees.
It looks like falling leaf.
I like seeing BSU college foot ball , it is just now on season.
So I took Broncos's color.
Which color do you like?
