My next post

Hi Takaran

I walked today for 70 minutes in Kawagoe to attend my contract bridge club. It was warm and fine day today. In USA, they say that it is like Indian summer,don't it?

I walked slightly slowly. Then my pedometer showed only 1,400 steps. It's difficult for me to walk 20 thousand steps in a day.

I have to go out tomorrow and the day after tom mow. I'll write to you next Tuesday.
Good night!

My self introduction

Takaram

I think that I had introduced myself already. However I couldn't remember when and where. I had read your introduction before. I'm not sure whether it was written for our class mates.

I use Google to communicate with Vanessa. As I was inactive on blogging-English for long time, I think that you are able to see almost no MSG between Vanessa and me on it.

Today, I linked your blog to mine on Google Reader. I hope this works well.

Porte-cochere

I read your post. I now understand that your blog and mine are linked together. At first, I'm very pleased to start PLN with you. Thank you for your acceptance.

By the way, you use three kind of name on your blog. I called you Takaram on my last MSG, but you signed Takeshi on your MSG. If you don't mind, would you please use only one name on your blog.
