Old photo of Bne circa 1983 showing Kings City Car Park. 

Was I actually in the building whilst this photo was taken ? LOL 

Wise words, indeed, methinks ... 

3.11 springs into my mind, here 

Dr. Tomoko sent this to me last weekend; she was attending an FMU Conference

and did a  Where am I ?  quizz. Obviously it's the West Side of F. Station.

It's Fall / Autumn in Fukushima City right now. 

Nothing will make you NOT stress ... ! 

Cheers !

Such is life ... (sigh)

９月11日、家族葬にて学を見送りました。

故人生前中は、皆様方に大変お世話になり、有り難うございました。

学は、8月末より緊急入院し、９月４日に心臓の手術を受けておりましたが、術後４日間、昏睡状態が続きました。

回復の願いも叶わず、９月８日に永眠致しました。享年67歳の生涯でした。

現在は、家族として学の死を受け入れ、気持ちの整理をつけながら前向きに歩みを進めている所です。

沢山のお仲間達に支えられながら、楽しくお仕事が出来ました事を、私達家族からも感謝申し上げます。

供物、香典等はご辞退させて頂きますので、ご了承下さい。

申し訳ありません。

皆様方の益々のご活躍をお祈り致します。

これを持ちまして最後の投稿とさせて頂きます。

有り難うございました。

白石学の家族一同

September 11th, we sent off school at the family funeral.

Thank you very much for all your help during my passing life.

The school was rushed to the hospital at the end of August and underwent heart surgery on September 4th, but for four days after the surgery, she continued to be a coma.

He passed away on September 8th without his wishes for recovery. It was 67 years old.

Right now, as a family, we are accepting the death of education and moving forward while organizing our feelings.

We would like to thank our family for the support of so many of our colleagues and the work was fun.

Please understand that offerings, incense etc. will be declined.

I am sorry.

I wish you all the best.

I'll leave this as my last post.

Thank you very much.

The whole family of cypress 

I am shocked. 

I enjoyed meeting you very much. 

Please rest in God's care.

It's worth checking the small print. Three-quarters of the way down the page you'll find a line that's easy to overlook. It says 'regardless of the agreement you've made, you're free, at any time, to do what you choose'.  This is an escape clause. You don't believe me !  In that case, you need to have another look at the difficult situation you're caught up in, which you feel duty-bound to see through to the bitter end. There is a way to turn it around. The Supermoon encourages you to reassess a factor that looks impossible. It's not ! 

How apropas, Oscar. This is exactly my situation with Rothcote Court. Let's hope that your prediction proves to be accurate !  I need it to be ...
