Around ten years ago a major method to inform 7th graduates of reunion was a post card. Answer rate, especially of male members, was low. Then the voice from the Heaven sounded, "Yaro wa zubora (busy) . Onnanoko ga denwa shite."

I somehow hesitated to call them, though , I respected the voice and followed. Those things happened repeatedly and sometimes other angel joined to help me. I now try to think that it was delightful to hear the voices of reunion members and their family's voices over the phone.

Reunion after reunion was held. Our relation got more friendly and communication became easier.

Now the age of I.T. and globalization has arrived. E-mail has been considered as the only method to inform by us. I feel some uneasiness with this voiceless, toneless, scentless, and warmless method. But on the other hand I've realized several good points in e-mailing.

I can send a message at the past midnight not to bother a person.
spread a message to several people at the same time.
keep in touch with a person who is not so close as to make a call.
tell a story which is not so important as to make a call.

Again the voice sounded from the Heaven, " E-mail should be done in English." God blesses me! I've never used Japanese in e-mailing since I began it two years ago. And over 90% of responses were mailed to me in English.

I thank God that He knows the time. The best point about e-mail is to blush up our English.
God bless you!

If you are interested in Shakespeare, I recommend the movie, "Titus", which are now released in the theaters. It is a breath-taking movie based on Shakespeare's tragedy.

Revenge bears revenge.
Cruelty fosters cruelty.
Blood washes blood.

I turned away my eyes for a change from the screen where Shakespeare's majestic world had been developed. When the movie was over, I got exhausted with the gravity of the movie. However I appreciate the movie as the best one among the movies I saw this year.
