今回の選挙において
賛同できるマニフェストは皆無であった。
自民・民主による二大政党制への移行などと
したり顔で語られていたことに
いらだちを覚えた。
政党間で政策に本質的な違いはなく
バラマキの名称と金額のみが違うだけだ。
二大政党制と呼べる政情ではない。
また「みんなの党」にはがっかりだ。
誰も彼らに現実的で最大公約数的な公約を求めてはいない。
全政党が保守的側面を強化するなかで
改革の旗手として
理想的な公約を明示することが
彼らに最も期待されていたことであろう。

文句ばかりでは前進しないので
「おいらの党」党首として
そのマニフェストの骨格を記することとする。

あなたの清き一票を
「おいらの党」へ!!
Yesterday morning, I received the present from my wife.

It is for my 40th birthday.

To tell the truth, I am still 39 years old.

So I need to wait next June to got it.

But my wife gave it in advance.

Because I am much eager to read some catalogues every night for this few month.

What is the gift?

It is the new road-bike, Time VXRS Ulteam with Campagnolo Record.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

I can not find words to express wonderfulness of it.

This evening, my wife and I went to cycling.

Though there is a lot of differences between new Time with a carbon frame and old Bianchi with a steel frame, the most critical one is acceleration.

I am loving Time.

Thank you very very very much, Ponyo.

I want to cycle to various places with you for our whole life.
My wife and I will go to Awaji Island by bicycle with our friends.
Round-trip from Kobe to Awaji Island may be more than 80km long.
I will have a lot of first experiences, for example, going there by bicycle, cycling with friends, staying overnight for it.

When I was a pupil, I liked cycling.
To be accurate, I loved to plan the travel by bicycle.
I had a best friend, Yuichiro Uchida, who I have no contact with now.
We discussed a lot of plans and executed two plans, one is going up Kanda River and another is going down the same river.
Especially former one is not able to be forgotten.

He had a nice bicycle with retractable lights, which was the fashion at that time.
After I entered at junior high school, I got my first road-bike with silver color.
I went to juku school by it at all season.
It took only 10 minutes to ride for about 3km.

Now I am riding on the rode-bike with celeste blue.
How long will it take tomorrow?
I have an English lesson every Thursday morning.
It is a 2 hours private lesson, which my company provides.

Recently I am feeling two things through above and Rarejob’s lessons.

One is that I am accustomed to listening and speaking English more than I was before.

Another is that I am wondering how I can improve my English more.
I certainly understand that I need to develop vocabulary and listening skill.
However I can’t find the way to do it with my pleasure.
Because I am lazy, I do nothing dull.

It remains only 7 months until I’ll go to the foreign education program.

I hope that Ponyo invents the method for me.
What is the benefit of roadbiking, riding a road-bike?

As you know, roadbiking through town and field with high speed makes us energize our mind and body.

But I need to emphasize that roadbiking is beyond exercise.
It is culture.
If you enjoy roadbiking, you should also enjoy road-bike's culture.
It is so huge of it to include equipment, manufacture, craftsman, rider, race, travelling and so on.

And your road-bike is the symbol of your road-bike's culture.
When roadbikers look your road-bike, they can easily understand your road-bike's culture and even you, because a road-bike has rich context.

What road-bike should you choose?

Someone may tell you to pick some bicycle which matches your objective, which may be race, transportation or leisure.

It is too stupid.

I will say it again.
Road-bike is not a machine. It is myths of road-bikers.

So I tell you to take over myths of some road-biker who you love and get on his/her symbol.
You are enough eligible to succeed to your loving road-biker, if you want to do it.
Your hero will lead you to the wonderful road-bike’s world.

By the way, you may face financial problems to get a road-bike which is surely much expensive.

I will give you advice.

Buy your favorite one just now, even if you borrow money.

Because time when you can enjoy your roadbiking is so limited than you expect.
If you need to spend your time with your family more, if you need to relocate, if you need to change your job, if you need to do something new, you will have less time to enjoy roadbiking.

And even if you need to stop roadbiking once, you can start it again anytime.
Product life of the road-bike with myths is not short but so long.

Lastly, I want to say again.
The road-bike is just you.
I will describe the recent matters.

1) Cherry blossom flowers


My wife and I went to Yoshino and Kobe university last weekend.
It was a little late to visit Yoshino, because it had already been falling.
But we enjoyed Kuzu, traditional sweets made in Yoshino.
On the other hand, Kobe university's was much excellent.
It is our memorial one, because we took the first picture together under it
5 years ago.
We enjoy to see it every spring.

2) Herbs


We bought 4 kinds of herbs last sunday evening.
They are basil, parsley, Italian parseley and fennel.
And I planted them into the pod at the balcony.
We will be able to eat them in near future.

3) Ar-san


I found two problems on it.
(1) Impossibility of listening to ipod
(2) Loose handling
We took it to the car dealer last sunday.
The former one could be solved easily.
But the later one should be observed until 1,000km drive, which will make
tyres grip more strongly.

4) Blu-ray

We bought the Blu-ray HDD recorder.
I set it up, and reserved the TV programs, which are documentaries, English
lessons and golf games.

I would like to describe the GW trip plan (GTP) in the next article.
Audi A3, our new car, had been arrived last Sunday.

Before we got it, we enjoyed the last drive with Roddy in seeing the cherry blossom flower.

We thanked for Roody and welcomed Ar-san, which is the nickname of our Audi A3.

Ar-san with grass blue, a specialliy ordered color, has fine engine, transmission and handling.

We hope that we can enjoy driving it.

春桜 チーコと共に また来たる

また
いつか
会いましょう
待っています
ありがとう

I have stopped writing blogs recently, because I am lazy.

Topics are;

1) A new car, Audi A3 1.8T, with bianchi blue will come soon.

I would not get it at the beginning, because I prefer a FR or AWC car, whoes hudling is better than FF's.
When I had ridden it on trial, I found that its handling, engine and transmission are fine.
Audi A3, which is stable, controllable and fun to drive, is the car which I want.
And its color makes my wife and me excited.
However it is certainly so sad to say good-bye to Roddy, Mazda Roadster, next Sunday.

2) The English lesson will start soon.

To quicken the development of English, I am planning to have the English lesson from next month.
I will have a trial lesson at next Thursday night.
If it looks effective, I will have lessons twice a week.

3) Running is just started.

I started running from yesterday.
It is 1.5 km length around the neighbor park.
Though I run only one round per day now, I will extend round step by step.



By the way, I will have 3th wedding anniversary tommorow.
We have a excellent plan, which is going to the ramen restaurant...
I had mistaken to burn Zo-ni yesterday.

Zo-ni is the Japanese traditional meal, which includes rice cake, chicken and vegetables.

After I warmed up it for dinner, I had forgotten stopping the fire until next morning.

I will take care of it from now on.
