I went to Keiyu Hospital on Thursday. It is always a nice routine. Ride 58 bus from Tofukuin and many Tateno High School students get off, so most of time I can have a seat. It was raining so many people rode the bus instead oof walking. It became very crowded but by Yamashita Cho, Motomachi Chukagai Subway station people got off. I change to a subway at Nihon Ohdori because the escalator is waiting right in front of the bus stop. I get off at MinatoMirai station, only two stops but it is nice to have a place like New York Manhattan style place. I walk one block and impressive hospital building is there. I reserve 9:30 and meet the doctor, actually he is the head or CEO of the hospital and expert in Vascular field.

He said I am all right and can walk and keep the band with the leg. He asked how many kilometers I walk every day. I said about 3,000m. He responded that to improve my leg situation I should walk more every day, about 10,000m.

So,

I can walk now, but I have to walk everyday.

Dear Friends

Squirrels come to our garden to build their den/nest. Last time I saw their house was destroyed by some birds. So, I though they are not around. Today I saw them trying to build their den/house by getting some branches from our garden.

Welcome back and good luck.

I went to the War Cemetery of Hodogaya Commonwealth Nations War Cemetery with Rev. Dick of Yokohama Christ Church. He explained why the name of the British Commonwealth Nations "British" was dropped out. Today the Commonwealth Nations are not only from the nations of the British Empire, but others are participating and it is economic group.

On the way we had a chance of talking about our background and he mentioned in 1984 he came to Japan as an Anglican volunteer to the Asian Rural Society and later got married to a Japanese woman and lived in the Philippines in 1990's and told me there is a Christian Congregation group called the Independent Church of Philippines participating in the Anglican bishops of the Philippines with a Catholic tradition but not part of the Roman Church under the Vatican Pope because of their independent movement in the Spanish colonial days.

All Saints Day

Today is All Saints Day. Yokohama Christ Church members went to the Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery for the prayer at their grave. 

Yokohama Union Church member is collecting donation for a girl in an orphanage for her school "RANDOSERU".  She was adopted to St. Mary's International School graduate whom I thought he was a wealthy and highly educated man married without a child. However, he was not nice as he looks, and she was put into the Japanese government protection and went back to an orphanage. She was a student at Yokohama Christian School when the government protected her. She is now entering an elementary school, so the church members are collecting money to donate her a "RANDOSERU".

Facebook has a meaning.   SJC grad. Endo put on Facebook that the funeral of Ritchie will take place today at 11 in Sacred Heart Cathedral.

I thought it was another Halloween joke. However, John Fanourakis wrote it is too young for Ritchie to die at the age of 66. I look at the Facebook

carefully and saw the sign of the funeral of Ritchie will take place at the Sacred Heart Cathedral from 11 to 12.  It was 10:55. I rushed to a casual suit with a tie and went to the Cathedral and able to attend the Funeral Mass.

With the Great Depression 

America faced unbelievable happening from the loss of wealth, so FDR , the president created two things not to repeat, one was to separate the Security business with banking, the other is oversee the New York Stock Exchange. This was the base of the American economy till Republicans under Ike, Nixon, Reagan and the others changed them.

Why this took place is with Ayn Rand's philosophy of Laises fairs and Federal Reserve head for many years Mr. Greenspan was her disciple appointed by Dick Nixon to lead it. He lowered the interest rate and made the USA great again even though he had been challenged many times but overcame the difficulties.  I t eventually caused the money flow to the real estate and housing with subprime loans. When money overflows, it will eventually go to the investment in land, but this took place later in Greenspan era. It was well managed and people said he was a "maestro", master of money control.

The other was a very successful investor during the booming 1920's and lost everything with the crush. Benjamin Graham later had a chance to teach at Columbia University, Business School.  Mr. Warren Buffett took his course. It was based on the concept of value investing.

Buffett invested with the value investing and became very successful. He shares his knowledge and wealth with other people and people like him very much.

Dear Romans and Friends

Sunday Report

I went to Yokohama Christ Church at 9 and enjoy the sermon. right after the Autumn Bazaar took place, started to rain but stop and restarted to rain in the afternoon. I met Rex and two scholars teaching Keio U. and MD in the advance hospital near Haneda who had a sabbatical in the UK with very intelligent very young daughter and a son as usual kid. I spent 3, 000 yen for the cakes, hot dog and other goodies.  I told the rector that my appointment with him to take the war cemetery will be postponed to next Monday because His Majesty Ambassador is visiting the Yokohama area and I have to escort her. He said he would like to come with me to see the new ambassador, so I accept it, anyway it is his ambassador.

I met Rex, a Canadian gentleman whose wife is a St. Maur International school 3rd grade teacher, and I will continue meeting him to know better about the Canadian international school system to have a Canadian style education in Japan instead of American or British ones coming here in flocks. There are several reasons I think a Canadian system is good for Japan.
