It is officially cold outside. We’re holding off as long as we can with the heated floors and electric blankets at home, but it is definitely hands-in-your-pockets cold outside while we go to and come back from work. I’m guessing it won’t be long until we have to bust out the cold weather gear. Luckily at work I have a big office with three big heaters/air conditioners and full control over the thermostats. My students sometimes complain because they work in a big shared office and can’t control the temperature. Sorry guys, life is good over here.

Last night Kuniko got home earlier than I did, so she cooked up one of my favorite dishes, an Italian chicken and vegetable saute that goes great with a bottle of wine. She also brought some goodies back from Kyoto – yesterday she had to take care of some errands after work, and her errands including buying some unusual Kyoto snacks for us to enjoy. Yum.

After work today I’ll go out to tachinomi with some friends, and then wander on home afterwards. But I’ve also got some errands to run…
