CONGRATULATIONS! YES!

Posted by Betty on Monday, August 2, 2021, In : Betty's Blogs 
I'm pleased to announce that my book, IN SEARCH OF SOMATIC THERAPY (Savant 2017) by Setsuko Tsuchiya recently received an honorable mention in the 2021 New York Book Festival! Thank you, New York for your kind support. I am now busy writing THE POWER OF DANCE which focuses on one part, dance, in IN SEARCH OF SOMATIC THERAPY. 



My publisher says I am now "an award-winning author" and my book is an official "award-winning book!"

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

Posted by Betty on Tuesday, January 19, 2021, In : Betty's Blogs 
Happy New Year! It is already the middle of January. Even though I stay home every day, time flies.

My husband and I have been searching for a TV program that we both enjoy to watch in the evenings. Like going to a movie theater for a date. In this case, a COVID "home" date together. 

The Amazon Prime movie we selected is called, "ATLANTIS." 

When we started to watch, a character announced that his name was Pythagoras. His friend was Hercules, and the main character was Jason. This episode was a...

A QUIET MOMENT (静かな瞬間)

Posted by Dan on Saturday, January 2, 2021, In : Dan's Blogs 

I’M thinking it’s time to make a quiet moment amidst the chaos of a year gone amok. A quiet moment to reflect on some of the good that is always there, if we but choose to not just see, but, as Sherlock Holme’s would advise, observe: A delightful planet, perhaps unique in the multiverse. A sun to warm us and inspire the plants upon which we so wholly depend to flourish. A moon to light the night. Life. Consciousness. Rationality. Spirituality. Empathy. The gift of procreation. Flowers. ...

AN HEA (HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER) STORY

Posted by Dan Janik (aka Raymond Gaynor) on Thursday, July 16, 2020, In : Dan's Blogs 
Yesterday, having returned from food shopping, while taking off my mask, my Apple AirPods got caught in the elastic bands and flew off. One arced across the room and fell loudly on my (thankfully) wooden floor. Stunned, I picked it up, and, after a quick inspection, popped it back in my ear, pleased to hear it’s happy gong. The other one, however, was nowhere to be found. After a thorough but fruitless search, I reinserted my one AirPod to my ear (one never knows when an important call migh...

OMG IT'S HAPPENING! びっくりした!

Posted by Dan on Wednesday, May 13, 2020, In : Dan's Blogs 
Yesterday, I posted about Loihi, our future eighth Hawaii island (actually there are about 130-plus "islands" in the Hawaiian Archipelago) anticipated to break above the waves in roughly 10,000-plus years. 

To my complete surprise, Loihi was mentioned on today's news. Apparently swarms of earthquakes began occurring within the Loihi Seamount yesterday! That probably means that it is growing, or at least groaning. Who knows?

I just think it is really weird that this would occur the day after I p...

FINALLY!!!!

Posted by Betty on Friday, May 1, 2020, In : Betty's Blogs 

Finally!! 遂に!


Finally, I claimed my unemployment! Happy…and exhausted!


I was furloughed from my Time-Share Company due to COVID-19 at end of the first of week in April. I immediately registered for unemployment just like my company said. At that time, unemployment on Oahu Island (the main island of the seven Hawaiian Islands, together the 50th state of the USA) was already more than forty thousand! It was impossible to access the Hawaii Office of Unemployment or its website to registe...

THE LONG CON - A CALL TO INTELLECTUAL ARMS!

Posted by Betty's Blog on Thursday, June 6, 2019, In : Dan's Blogs 
I don't like to write about politics, but feel compelled to take up a topic that's close to my academic heart: Truth. In academia, we say undergraduate degrees are all about acquiring the skill of critical thinking: critical reading and writing; critical listening and speaking, and the thought processes involved in determining if what's being said is true. If not, one must ethically discard the information and not propagate it. If true, one can refer to and propagate the information, but only...

I HAVE TWO HUSBANDS!

Posted by Betty on Monday, June 3, 2019, In : Betty's Blogs 
Today, I have two husbands. Dan just finished writing a new book entitled "The Edge of Madness." The story is like future science fiction, and he wrote it under one of his author pseudonyms, Raymond Gaynor. He uses this name for thrillers and has published two already: TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) with William Maltese, and QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2017) with A. G. Hayes. His new story begins where TOTAL MELTDOWN ends; namely the downsizing of the USA to form a much smaller NewAmerica, mu...

THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH

Posted by Dan on Monday, March 11, 2019, In : Dan's Blogs 
Over the decades, I've had the opportunity to watch American society change. That it inexorably does change is close to a truism. Each generation that's born into the work begins assuming what they experience is "normal" and becomes a baseline for trying to ferret out what "true" and what's, well, untrue. That task has become a lot harder this decade. What with coercive advertising, spun facts, "fake news," "social reality" (largely via the internet), superheroes everywhere and a level of pro...

A ZIG-ZAGGY FISHTAIL

Posted by Betty on Monday, March 11, 2019, In : Betty's Blogs 
Nope. Not a new fossil from China. Not a deformed fillet either. We're working on a new and unique figure for our Quickstep; namely a Zig-Zag, followed by a Cross Swivel amalgamated with a Fishtail. Neither is new, of course; in fact, they've been around so long few competitors are dancing them in Quickstep, focusing instead on a variety of novel runs. Amalgamated, however, these three classic figures create a unique break to the rhythm and flow of Quickstep. 

Looking over the over 30+ revisio...

RENEWING THIS BLOG. AGAIN.

Posted by Betty on Saturday, October 28, 2017, In : Betty's Blogs 
Aloha. Recently, I have been thinking of renewing my life and this blog. When I read my last blog entry, I was so busy finishing my master's degree in somatic therapy and publishing my book, IN SEARCH OF SOMATIC THERAPY (Savant 2017), I couldn't find time to continue blogging, and I was afraid I'd have to end Futari Blog. Gladly, I have now finished my master's degree (yay!) and had my book published (double yay!), and now have time and interest. In fact, I've entirely changed my thinking abo...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Posted by Betty on Wednesday, January 14, 2015, In : Betty's Blogs 
Happy New Year!!

It has been so busy a new year.  I went to work on New Year's Day.  After working, Dan and I attended my editor's wedding in the evening on January second (my editor, David, is editing my upcoming book, IN SEARCH OF SOMATIC THERAPY).  The weather was heavy with rain but the wedding had so many people and was a very relaxed ceremony.

It has been three years since Dan injured his knee and his doctor said to forget about dancing. He recommended surgery and said he had a 75% chance...

Is it Really a New Year?

Posted by Dan and Betty on Wednesday, January 1, 2014, In : Dan's Blogs 
It's December 31st. No question. But I wonder if, at one minute after midnight the old year will end and a new one begin. Not that the calendar won't change from 2013 to 2014. No, that will definitely happen. Not that the big ball in New York City won't fall. That, too, will definitely happen. Not that the world's leaders won't give a New Year's address. God forbid! Not that we won't have fireworks in Honolulu. Well, maybe there it starts to gray. 

Actually, looking out our large window at Wai...

Christmas Time is Here

Posted by Dan and Betty on Saturday, December 28, 2013, In : Dan's Blogs 
Call me old-fashioned, but Christmas, especially here in Hawaii, is one of my number-one, ichiban, best-ever holiday. While in much of the world, it's only one day, in Hawaii, it lasts a month or more to the New Year. 

Christmas begins around Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving holiday in Hawaii being more of a thanks giving for the Christmas holidays. Next comes Christmas shopping. Welcoming the humpback whales back to Hawaii. Volunteering with your favorite charity. Watching Santa come to Hawaii on a...

Wadjda

Posted by Betty and Dan on Monday, October 28, 2013, In : Dan's Blogs 
This weekend, Betty and I fled from the October heat and humidity by going to a "refrigerated" movie house. To both our surprise, the move we chose to cool ourselves in turned out to be one of the best we've seen in ages. "Wadjda" is the story of a 10-year-old Saudi girl's mental coming-of-age in a Salafi Sunni Muslim environment. Filmed by a Saudi director in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, with Saudi actors and actresses, the movie is a "must see" for non-Muslims attempting to puzzle through today's d...

The Legend of Studio 54

Posted by Betty and Dan on Thursday, July 11, 2013, In : Dan's Blogs 
Our last time in Las Vegas (yeh, everyone who's anyone goes to Las Vegas at least once from Honolulu), we made it a priority to stop and go dancing at the MGM Grand's albeit watered down version of the famous Studio 54. I must admit right at the beginning that neither of us ever had the opportunity of going to the original in the Big Apple. So, instead we danced our hearts out all evening to Disco '70 music and partied until the wee hours just as if we'd been at the "real" Studio 54 in the 70...

Proof

Posted by Betty and Dan on Saturday, May 11, 2013, In : Dan's Blogs 
As an undergraduate liberal arts professor, I'm often asked how one knows what's really true. After all, isn't that what undergraduate college is all about -- critical thinking -- knowing what's true without needing the help of a professor? The answer is a simple, "Yes." Four years of undergraduate study (1/25th of one's life) and about $120,000 (the price of a starter house) buys an American college student one thing: critical thinking (critical reading, listening, writing and speaking). But...
