It was a rainy day, but the sun shined partially too.

To my lucky I did not have to use un umbrella.

At night I saw the beautiful half moon.

On my way back I dropped at Yokosuka chuo to go to banks and other places which is my payday's ritual.

I read an obituary of Mr. Maki Kaji (鍛治真起) who is a leader of the boom of Sudoku (数独). He died of bile duct cancer at the age of 69.

My first host mother in Florida loves Sudoku. Sudoku literally means number single. It is abbreviation of "Suji ha dokushin ni kagiru(数字は独身に限る)" which means "Numbers are limited to singles."

And she is also single.

It was a cold rainy day.

I took my father to hospital to check the condition of the surgery.  It was fine.

The best thing to do while waiting is to solve sudoku for me because the usage of cellphones is prohibited in the hospital.  The other day I did not bring it but a thin book and finished reading soon.  Since we had to wait for a long time, I felt wasting time without doing anything but falling asleep.  So yesterday I brought the sudoku magazine which I bought when I went to Hawaii and Thailand & Cambodia around this time last year.  During the trip I could not finish the book.  So I still use it.  My American Host Mother also loves sudoku and every night she tried to solve them before going to bed.  I think it is good for the brain too.

We went out for lunch and shopping later.
