【読んだ理由】
最近南綾子さんに嵌っておりまする。
【印象に残った一行】
婚活をしていると、この言葉が常につきまとう。みじめな人間同士が集まって、まったくみじめでないふりをしながら、ていうかむしろ「自分は全然出会いに困っていないんですけどね?たまたま今日は暇だったからここにいるだけですけどね?」みたいな顔をして、しかし腹の中で相手を値踏みし、「あー、こんなつまんない男とカップルになるぐらいなら一生一人のほうがマシ」とか「こんな年増女、ヤルだけならいいけど結婚はムリ」とか思いながら、最終的には誰ともくっつくこともなくその日を終えてまたみじめの沼に沈んでいく。
【コメント】
怪談噺にして恋愛?噺。絶倒はしないけど捧腹、そして悲しい。
今後の著者の目標は、「カップ焼きそばの頻度を月三以下に抑えること」おもろいですな。
そのカップ焼きそばとは「ゴキブリ混入事件」ペヤング。はるか昔の独身時代によく食べていた。久しぶりに食べてみたい。
落語家桂小益(現9代目桂文楽)のCMも懐かしい。
婚活中の人にも、婚活にとんとご縁のない人にもお奨め?です。

Officials from the United States and Cuba have reached another historic milestone. They've officially restored diplomatic relations for the first time in over 50 years.
On Monday, the Cuban Interests Section in Washington became the Cuban Embassy. People broke into song as the flag went up over the building. On the same day, the U.S. Interests Section in Havana became the American Embassy.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez met his U.S. counterpart John Kerry at the State Department. The two held a news conference.
(John Kerry / U.S. Secretary of State)
"... the Cold War ended long ago, and that the interests of both countries are better served by engagement than by estrangement, and that we have begun a process of full normalization that is sure to take time but will also benefit the people in both Cuba and the United States."
(Bruno Rodriguez / Cuban Foreign Minister)
"We both ratified our interest in normalizing bilateral relations, knowing that this will be a long and complex process which will require the willingness of both countries."

『論語』とは
読んで字の如く「論じ語る」、孔子と弟子達や要人達との間に交された対話録。
『論語』は私たちの生き方の原点を見つめた思索の宝庫であり、人間性を磨く叡智が凝縮した永遠の古典。
読めば読むほど胸に深く沁み込む簡潔な言葉の数々。
『孟子』『大学』『中庸』と併せて儒教における「四書」の一つに数えられる。
全20編(学而第一~堯曰第二十) 構成され、編の名称は各編の最初の二文字を採ったものであり内容上の意味はない。
したがって、学而第一から順に読む必要はなくどこから読んでもかまわない。
