Thoughts and notes of a researcher in plant genetics and nutritional epidemiology in Japan and the U.S. with a wide range of interests - choral activities, photography, nature, travel, and drawing. L'épanouissement personnel means personal development and fulfillment. Still in the middle of it, enjoying the process. 農学部、酒類企業研究員を経て、米国ミシガン州立大学で博士過程を卒業後、植物遺伝学と食物疫学の研究に片足ずつつっこんでいます。趣味の合唱、自然観察、旅行、写真、絵描き、国際交流など、いろんな記録です。L'épanouissement personnelは自己研鑽、実現というような意味です。生涯に渡って一緒に旅する人生のテーマ。

「マドンナ」
奥田英朗さんの小説。ばりっばりの体育会系営業マンたちを主人公にしたオフィスストーリーでとても面白かった。組織の長所、短所とか、旧習に拘束されるのを嫌う一匹狼とか、期待を背負って部長業務をこなす女性とか、オフィスの人間模様が克明に、しかも深刻にならないよう描かれている。

Walking
Jogging is too tiring and needs special shoes, but walking is fun and doesn't require anything.
It's challenging to try as far as I can go in a certain period of time.
OK.. One more day to go. Whew.
Need to study politics.
It's too much a trouble to form a new government and have it take over all the massive tasks relating to the quake relief. It's time for both current government and the opposition parties to be united and tackle the problems. People are waiting!

Lately
We don't have to be energetic all the time but if you are sick, it's really hard to be busy.
I know writing "I'm not motivated" won't help at all, so let's just let it pass through and maybe wait for a weekend..
When you get what you want but not what you need
And if you relinquish your greediness, you'll appreciate what you have.
Oh, knowing is different from doing. It's too much of a stupidity to forget.
