New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[Steve williams]

The hotel we are in is huge. I counted 36 restaurants in it

The New Otani

 

[JackD201]

Be naughty and try the eclairs at Satsuki Stevie

 

[JackD201]

New Otani is where foreign dignitaries are often billeted as you are close to the Diet. You must stroll the garden. Still, the eclairs..... !!!!!!!

 

[Steve williams]

We strolled the garden. Gorgeous

we saw people at Satsuki eating the eclairs . We drove by Diet . What is it

Is it the Parliament building. It was well guarded as we passed

 

[JackD201]

Hi Stevie, Yes the Diet is the Parliament Building for both Houses

Are the blossoms out?

 

[Steve williams]

Yes. All in full bloom. That’s why we came at this time of year

miss you Jack. Regards to your family. Say hi to Jim for us.

 

[Steve williams]

We look out on the garden

 

[Steve williams]

What stadium is this

 

[JackD201]

Miss you too Buddy and I will surely pass your warm greetings on. So near and yet so far! I have a funny story that happened in the "cabin" in the garden. I'll tell it to you when we talk next LOL. It's rated G, I promise

Maybe Steve will see a giant poster of Hachimura along the freeway.

OTOH it is good to see the Sixers winning again and rumor has it Embiid will be back on the court this weekend. That could shake things up in the East

I would love to see Embiid back.
That would also reward the excellent achievement of the rest of the team while Embiid was gone

 

[Steve williams]

Well not only did Embiid return yesterday but he helped the Sixers to a win. He’s in good shape and looks like he’s lost at least 20 pounds. His return suddenly shakes things up in the EC. The playoffs this year should really be excellent

 

[Steve williams]

Wouldn’t it be something to see Embiid and the Sixers eliminate the Bucks this year. That would be hubris

 

[jadis]

Steve,. Any chance your hotel TV has ESPN ? Or NBA ?
.

 

[Steve williams]

Sadly it seems all they have is CNN

 

[jadis]

Sadly it seems all they have is CNN

That's usually the case. In other cities mostly it was all Japanese stations.

 

[jadis]

Are you going to be with a guided tour all the way, with a tour guide and tourist bus?

 

[DLS]

I'm afraid my Knicks, without their full front court, just don't have enough. They will be done early without OG, and done late without Randle. That said, with them both, they can make the finals IMHO. Guess I have to wait another year... But I'm running out of time.
