Japanese baseball and karaoke

Published on July 20, 2004 By Jamie Burnside In Misc

Hello friends. I hope that you're having a happy evening!

I have just returned from an evening of karaoke with my mother and father in-law. That was fun. Looking through the karaoke catalog, I was impressed to see how much the selection of songs has increased since I lived in Japan three years ago.

I am looking forward to the next time that I have a chance to sing karaoke.

Before leaving to sing karaoke, I was watching a baseball game on television. The game was between the Tokyo Giants and the Nagoya Dragons. It was a reasonably interesting game with the Giants leading by four.

However, with the Dragons up to bat in the bottom of the eighth inning, the network switched to regular programming. Apparently this is a common praactice! Apparently baseball fans don't have much pull when it comes to network scheduling.

Our friend Kayo gave Kenny a cute baby hat. I think that it looks good on him.

Korean baseball games have the same issue with programming. I was watching their all star game one year and that broke away just after the seventh inning stretch. Very frustrating. But the live games were an absolute blast. It's all about the fans there.

Cute hat! I really like the picture of you and Kenny. I think as he is getting older you are looking more and more alike. It sounds like you are having lots of fun. It must be nice to see friends and family again.
