I won't let a bad back rain on this week's parade!!!!

'How'd you pull your back?'

That seems to be the most common question asked as I grimmace my way through the day.

Hell, if I know how I did it I wouldn't have done it!!!

Anyhow, it is 12 degrees in Tokyo and the clouds are likely to disappear later, leaving us with sunny days for the remainder of our stay here.  Last night, at a dinner party of 7 at El Torito, I had the portable router with me and the baseball game,  MLB vs Team Japan played on my new iPhone 6+.  I like the 6+.   True, it is not as big (i.e.  wide) as some on the other new phones on the market but it is wide enough and very definitely long enough to make reading enjoyable - something that my older phone (4S) was not capable of doing.........

And now I've got the NBA on (everyplace but China because those idiots from the Stern gang (as in David, the retiring 'commiss') prematurely sold the NBA rights to Li Ka Shing, someone who I don't particularly like or respect (but he got his come-uppance:  look at his two sons!)) as well as MLB (to watch the Japan games) and a whole list of newspapers......

I love Japan - but not in cold weather.  I love the fact that for the second year in a row, I'm going to baseball games  in November.  Tomorrow night I'll be rooting for Team Japan vs the MLB.  Game 1 went to Japan last night, in what turned out to be a pitcher's battle.   Tomorrow night?   Well, in the warmth of the Tokyo Dome, I don't expect a pitcher's battle but would happily settle for it as then that mind game-aspect of baseball most assuredly shows its strength!!!
