Return of the Wanderer
Well, back from Illinois. Instead of going into the city, Big M and I went to Ryersons Woods, a nature preserve. There was a little farm there, and the sky was beutiful. Got some shots of fall flowers. The nights were fall cool-- apparently in So. Cal it was really hot that weekend so my timing was good. We also when "mall crawling" (Big M's phrase), and stopped in Barnes and Nobles for a Japanese phrase book. He will be going to Japan for business in 2 wks. He also got an electronic translator that shows words printed in Romanji, but also kanji/katakana/hirugane, so he can recognise signs and stuff (real basic) or get help by having someone type in the Japanese word, and get it translated to English. There is a button on it that will pronounce the Japanese word. He asked me to pick an English word-- I chose apple-- the little machine said "ringo"--- so I guess Ringo Starr is "Apple starr". Hmm, I wonder if Starr means something in Japanese?

What do you like to do on weekends? Do you either read or speak Japanese and how did you learn? It looks much more difficult than I thought, but really interesting. I guess right now, I'll just read about Japan in English!

Something different---I hope you like this little poem. I don't remember how I superimposed the text on image, so if someone could give me some tips, I appreciate it.

Oh, no -- Halloween is coming? Any special preparations? Enjoy the day!
