Fault?

During a league match a few weeks ago I was watching one player who kept foot faulting. I guess everyone is guilty of foot faulting on occasion, some more than others; but I don't want to mention any names (Joe). The main purpose of tennis is to have fun, meet new people and maintain good health.

天空から地上へ

テニスコート向かい側公園Banyan Treeから新しい芽がドンドン伸びだし地上に向って手を伸ばしているように競っています。蜘蛛の糸のような又、天空から地上に降りるロープのような不思議な光景です。こうやって毎日毎日地上を目指し伸びて行き地上に到達するとそこから水分を取り込み太い幹になるよう育って行きます。逞しい植物ですね。こうやって400年,500年と生きて行っているのです。究極のアンチエイジングです。

我が家の月下美人!


Only one night flowers came out!
数年前こんな小さな木で
一夜に15個咲いた時は見事で
部屋中甘い匂いが漂っていました。
滞在中はお世話になりました。
又クリスマス前~皆さんにお会いするのを楽しみにしています。

金網越しの会話

Keiko and Keone, Kei and Charles が金網越しに会話をしています。どちらがよいカップルでどちらが悪いカップルか判りませんが金網越しに会話が弾み久し振りに情報収集といった感じで会話が弾んでいました。金網越しの会話となると直ぐ接見場を思い浮かべてしまいますが映画の見過ぎですかね。

Japanese cell phone 7years ago

Mobile in Japan 7years ago.

If you have a wireless computer, or any Japanese cell phone, you can get online any where-from remote islands and mountain village to the bullet trains speeding through the countryside, which speed is 150mph. I was suprised the fact that japan, not to mention most of the rest of the world, has so much better wireless connectivity than US. It was 7 years ago, so now is more than that.

By "Digital," I mean that thanks to the PC-Windows-Web-Google-work flow rvolutions, all analg content and process- every thing from photos toentertainment to communication to word processing to architectural design to the management of your home lawn sprinkler system - are being disitized and therefore can be shped, manipulated, exploit, and transmitted over PCs, the internet, satellites, or fiberoptic cable.

IP telphone sinks roots.

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) allows you to make phone cells over the internet by turning voices into data pakets that are sent down internet networks and converted back into voices on the other end.

VoIP allows anyone to recive unlimited local and long distance calls, via the internet, over your PC, laptop,- with just a small microphone attachment.

It makes every phone call to anywhere in the world as cheap as a local call- i.e., almost free.

Consider this item from the November 1, 2004, 5years ago, Business Week, about the pioneering VoIP company Skype:skype.com

VoIP is going to revolutionize the telcommunications industry, which, since its inception, has been based on the simple notion that companies charge you for how long you talk and over what distance. As consumers get more VoIP choices, the competition will be such that telecom companies won't be able to charge for time and distance much longer.Voice will become free.

Nick Burniske (70) Successful Aging (7)

He is a very good 5 or 5.5 tennis player even if he is 70 years old. Also he is very energetic and healthy. He told me 4 secrets for his health:
  1. Drink water a lot
  2. Eat fresh foods
  3. Excise (tennis, walking and so on )
  4. Sleep well

Pauline and Ann: You know him very well. So could you tell him more in the comment below?

Sunset in Beautiful Waikiki

Ermile ウクレレの先生

5年位前まで朝7時過ぎラケットとウクレレを抱えてテニスコートに来ていた Ermile が毎週火曜日,金曜日10時から1時間ロイヤルハワイアンSC2Fのフードコートでウクレレ・レッスンをしています。ウクレレを貸し出してくれハワイの歌をコードレッスンを通じウクレレからメロディーが流れるよう教えてくれます。Ermile は、肘を痛め今はテニスをしていません。リズム感のある鋭いボールを打ち分けていました。Ermile は、カピオラニインフォメーション向かいのスターバックスに10時頃いることが多いです。

散水される早朝のカピオラニパーク

朝6時頃公園芝生一面に散水スプリンクラーから一斉に水が飛び出します。スプリンクラーは、地中に埋められておりタイマーセットで月,水,金曜日6時に地中から飛び出してきて散水しながら時計回りにゆっくり回転します。定期的に公園内隅々まで丁寧に散水されることで公園の緑が一年中保たれています。散水用の水は、コオラウ山脈に蓄えられる地下水を利用し循環する方法が取られています。気持ちよい環境に感謝しています。
