本日は、故地探訪シリーズはいったん休止。ブログ本来の日々の日記風に。写真は「目を休める」ような印象をいつも感じる北海道美唄の山並み「墨絵」的な風景。ひと休み。
　関連会社の位置付けの本体事業社の新年会ということで久しぶりのススキノ。わたしとしては、事業をしっかり継続してくれている状況を見、スタッフとも交歓できて安堵の気分であります。会話の中では今後の企画内容の一部について意見交換も。
　さらに最近の事業を支えてくれている「外部スタッフ」のみなさんとも情報交換できて有意義。
　なかでも多くのカメラマンや執筆ライターさんとの交流はその仕事ぶり・立ち向かい方など、いま現在のわたしのこのブログ執筆にとっても大いに参考になりました。
　久しぶりに出版事業のリアルタイム感を更新することが出来た次第。
　で、本日は家族一同が集まって、なぜか焼き肉パーティであります（笑）。まぁ先日の新年会第２弾。その準備で夫婦で買い物行脚。都合３軒のお店を回っていたのですが、さすがにあちこち移動ですこしヘトヘトになってしまい、最後の店ではカミさんと別行動でクルマで小休止。
　それも含めて昨日の歩数は以下のよう。

　ほとんどが「ツルツル」路面の冬の札幌で、ちょっと歩きすぎかも知れません。
　ただ、ススキノまでの地下鉄往復は、入手している札幌市の「敬老優待乗車券」を利用できる貴重な移動機会ということで、元気に往復しておりました。
　こういう移動過多ぶりも、日頃の健康維持作戦の成果を確認できる貴重な機会。
　22時前に帰宅できたのですが、おかげさまで稀有な「バタンキュー」機会で即ベッドで爆睡。
　本日パーティではわたしは「アラ汁」担当。元気に調理に向かいたいと思います。やるぞ！

【New Year’s Party in Susukino Yesterday & BBQ Party Today】
Walking all over Sapporo on slippery roads. Unusually high step count. Carefully avoiding falls, striding confidently. But occasionally taking a tumble (lol)…

　Today, the “Hometown Exploration” series takes a break. Back to the blog’s original daily diary style. The photo shows the mountain ranges of Bibai, Hokkaido—a landscape reminiscent of ink wash painting that always gives me a sense of “resting my eyes.” Time for a breather.
It was my first time back in Susukino in a while for the New Year’s party of the main company, which is positioned as an affiliate. For me, seeing the business running steadily and mingling with the staff brought a sense of relief. During conversations, we also exchanged opinions on some future project plans.
　It was also valuable to exchange information with the “external staff” who have been supporting our recent projects.
Interacting with many photographers and writers, especially, provided great insights into their work ethic and approach – highly relevant to my own blog writing right now.
It felt like reconnecting with the real-time pulse of publishing after so long.
　And today, the whole family gathered for some reason for a yakiniku party (lol). Well, it’s sort of the second installment of our New Year’s gathering. My wife and I went shopping to prepare for it. We ended up visiting three different stores, and honestly, moving around so much left us pretty exhausted. At the last store, I took a short break in the car while my wife continued shopping.
Including that, yesterday’s step count was as follows.

　In Sapporo’s winter, where most roads are slippery, I might have walked a bit too much.
Still, the subway trip to and from Susukino was a precious chance to use my Sapporo City Senior Citizen Discount Pass, so I energetically made the round trip.
This kind of excessive movement is also a valuable opportunity to confirm the results of my daily health maintenance strategy.
　I made it home before 10 PM, and thanks to that, I had a rare chance to crash instantly and fall into a deep sleep.
At today’s party, I’m in charge of the “ara soup.” I plan to head to the kitchen full of energy. Let’s do this!
