What music do you love to listen to in Autumn season ?  It's cloudy and cool here in Tucson today.  Usually I don't feel much Autumn air here because it's a desert place and usually summer continues until November.  But today, I feel like Autumn came up here.  My favorite music for Autumn are Piano music " Energy Flow " by Ryuichi Sakamoto and also " Longing/Love " by George Winston .  I always listen to these music every autumn season.  Very touching.  Ryuichi Sakamoto 's Energy Flow      This is one of my all time favorite music.  Very beautiful and imaginative.  I would love to see a great artistic figure skater skate to this music someday.  Longing / Love by George Winston from the album Autumn   I love all the music which is in the album "Autumn" .   I picture Forrest whenever I listen to this music.  After the boiling hot summer has gone, it tur...

Finally, these items arrived here ! Especially the DVD of the Robbin Williams movie " What dreams may come " ! We've been looking for the DVD of the movie since last month around August 11, after hearing the sad news about Robbin Williams. I remember that there was one DVD of " What dreams may come " was in the Barnes and Noble's book store here when we went there on August 4.  But I was looking for another movie at that time so I didn't get it then , but was planning to get it the following week. Then when we went to the bookstore on August 11, it was already sold out.  so we looked for it many other places, but it was all sold out, so we purchased it in amazon.com and waited for it coming here until this week . So I'm so glad to get it finally. It's so strange when we were not looking for it , we could easily find the item, but when we wanted it and looking for it, it was hard to get it.  Why ?    I've watched t...

Recently, we are into wine and have been enjoying tasting a variety of wines from different countries every weekend. My favorite wine so far is a French wine called " Lacheteau Vouvray " which has a dragon image on the label of the bottle. It has 11% Alcohol, richness with acacia, pear and almond aromas. I drink about two glasses of that wine each night of weekends. My husband loves Italian wine, so both of us drink different one. Until I found this French white wine, my favorite wine was always a German wine called " Katz" which has the image of a black cat . When I was staying in a ski village in Nagano, Japan, there was a boy who was studying to be an Italian foods chef.   I was often joining parties with the hotel workers , and in one of the parties that boy bought several wines which were his recommendations, which were German and Italian wines. and one of them was that Katz, and I really loved that taste at that time. The boy told us ...

I have many memorable music which reminds me of different times of my experience.  Today, I want to talk about memorable music for me when I was around 26 years old in 1989.  When I was 26, I flew to Sydney in Australia and was staying in an Aussie family's house for about 1 month and a half.  It was my first time to live in another country ( outside of Japan ) and it was one of the most unforgettable memories in my life.  Since my childhood, living in other countries was my dream and Australia was one of the countries I was interested in.   I was hearing about an Aussie family I was going to stay with, they were a 62 years old marriage couple , and when I went there, I noticed they are a big family.  Their kids appeared one after another , total of 6 kids who were from 18 to 26 at that time.  Plus 19 years old daughter has her kid who was 3 years old girl.  and 21 years old daughter was living there with her husband (...
