My monologue
January 20.
Recently I have been scanning my old books, personal documents, etc. using a Canon personal scanner, P-150. The format is PDF. One thing I always wanted to do was to scan a haiku appreciation book (風はどこから）written by my good friend, Professor Shimizu. The text is in Japanese. Here is another link to the English translation of the above work. I also received his permission to upload his unpublished works: Sannobi- Monogatari (三濃尾物語）and Tsuki no Sanpo Michi （月の散歩道）

The year 2010 was a good year for me. I have found out that even though I am at the last stage of my life, my brain stayed alert or even improved by my sheer effort. This is the year I started to write my life history and kept on learning French every day. I cannot speak the language, but I now understand most of written sentences. This is also was the year I traveled to Japan.

This year I turned 70. With age, everything is slowing down: my memory is going downhill fast. Naturally I am afraid of what comes next. For this reason, I am doing this website. I also play a word game, jigsaw puzzles every day on this computer. If I improve my scores, I am happy. Here are two of my favorite sites. The important thing is to play the games everyday.
