Two days ago it was warm enough that I was sweating when walking to work in my coat, and my students and I wondered about climate change during our classes. Last night a cold blustery wind came through, roaring outside all night, and when I walked to work this morning I was pretty cold. Today was the first day to wear long underwear – so now we’re dealing with winter.<\/p>\n
Three weeks ago I was sick and couldn’t go hiking with Yoshi, but we are on for tomorrow. I’m not sure yet where we will hike, but we’ll spend the morning on a mountain somewhere. It seems like I haven’t been hiking in ages – maybe all this exercise bike riding has cut my hunger for climbing mountains a bit.<\/p>\n
Saturday after the hike I’ll go home, clean up, and then meet Kuniko in Kobe for dinner at a restaurant that she would like to try. She had planned to go there with a friend and made reservations for two, but her friend had to cancel, and I am the pinch hitter. <\/p>\n
Sunday we may go out and do a little Christmas shopping, but nothing else special is planned. It’ll be a cold weekend, but we’ve got to start getting used to this weather – it’ll be like this for the next four months!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
