I've got to make it to write just my feelings about what has been going on each day!! "Private Diary": I do not know why, but I feel a little uneasy about until when it will last.  Riko Higashio

We had a rain in San Diego the other day. I can not remember when was the last time we had rain. I just can not remember. I tried to remember by going back, May? April? March? I was not here in April so I am not sure but I can only remember that it was March when we had the last rain. That means we did not have rain for 6 months. We are so used to not having rain so I never plan for it. I just forgot to think "What to do if we get rain?"

If you hear we did not have rainfall for such a long time, you might think its so dry. They say San Diego offers the best weather in the States. We have the pacific ocean right next to us so it keeps the air nice. That reminds me that we don't have mosquitos either. I believe it has something to do with humidity?

Back to my golf. At last, they cleared me to hit the ball. They told me not to hit too many balls nor hit balls from the ground. So, I went to the course with a club made specially for me by Taylormade and a putter.

If you practice at the driving range, the interval between the shots becomes too short, so I was using 8 iron and hit it from the fairway using tee. If it ended up in the bunker, I picked it up with my hand. Finishing the hole using a putter, I managed to play 9 holes like that. It was nice to be back on the golf course. I just have to be careful not to do too much. I am happy now!
