"The atmosphere in Japan is just different from America," Morii said. "There are Japanese restaurants over there so I'd go to those, but what I missed most was the environment where I grew up. I left Japan so suddenly, so I got homesick for things like Japanese trains, the scenery, convenience stores, that whole atmosphere. What I liked about America was that everywhere you go, there's music playing at massive volume."

A screencap of the intro for today's The Morning newsletter, the phrase "laying pipe" is used. Text is as follows: Making a home By Lisa Miller I ate homemade zucchini bread at The Bird’s Nest. When I drove through the electric gate and into The Bird’s Nest, a retirement community in East Texas, I felt as if I had entered a fairy village. One of the tiny homes was pink with white polka dots. Another was surrounded by towering sunflowers. Nine dogs roamed freely. Eleven women, most of them single, live there. They tend the grounds themselves, planting gardens and laying pipe. They’re trying to create what so many people seem to want in their later years: privacy and autonomy, caring and mutual support, friendship and laughs.

Passage from Jan. 27 The Windup newsletter as follows: Naturally, though, Skenes is thinking about how to get better. On Saturday night, I asked him on "Foul Territory’s” broadcast from the New York Baseball Writers’ Dinner the No. 1 thing he wanted to improve. Skenes said he wanted to attack the zone more, citing the respective Cy Young Award winners, Tarik Skubal and Chris Sale. “I think there were a lot of times last year where I just put myself in bad positions a little bit,” Skenes said. “After the season was over, I had one of the analysts at LSU run some numbers for me on Skubal, Sale and then me. They pretty much led in just about every category, which shows that is how you pitch at a very high level. That’s how you win those awards, winning the first two out of three pitches, strike percentage, first-pitch strike percentage, stuff like that. Those are the process-oriented goals I’m focusing on this year a little bit more.”
