Konnichiwa!

Feb

17

Today, as I was walking into Seattle Executives Association meeting, many people were saying "Konnichwa", Japanese "Hello" to me. I was wondering what was happening.

Then it became clear when Mr. David Eames of Pittman Automotive Service took a stand and asking everyone to stand ...

100 people tole me "Hello" in Japanese. I was really surprised. I do not know what to say. Thank you all. ARIGATOU!

Remembering Names

Feb

12

I am alway very bad with remembering names of people. However, now being a president of Seattle Executives Association, it is very important that I remember every member's name.

I used Macintosh and there is a software called iPhoto. It came with facial recognition software that enables me to organize people by faces. I used this software to organize every pictures and add name to everyone. It is like studying for a final exam.

It helped me a lot. But I still some names slip from my memory. I am trying.

I used to be excited about events like Olympics. But it became so much of business rather than true competition, it bores me.

How can I make things different?
What can I do to make things better?
Why is it the way it is?

Almost aways I start with those thoughts.

I went to Seattle Boat Show today. It was really interesting to see large yacht but I notices the most expensive boats are cheaper than last year. This may be due to the economy.

It is just over a month away from the opening of Vancouver Olympic. Someone told me, some people are booking a hotel in Vancouver, Washington thinking it is close or same as Vancouver, British Columbia. Hotel is not going to tell you it is 350 miles away.

Dec

It was kind of interesting flight today. Because of the security, everyone going board were body searched. Then after 8 hours of flight, everyone was asked stay put on their seats for last 1 hour.

In addition, entire entertainment system did not work today on DELTA 296. This picture was taken at Narita Airport as we left to the runway for take off. Nice smile.
