It is that time of year when the weather really starts to turn the corner and it gets positively cool outside. I’m happy about that because it means that I can sleep through the night without using an air conditioner. It means that I’m starting to wear long sleeve dress shirts and neckties again. And it also means that it is typhoon season again.
Last weekend we had a middle sized typhoon come through, but as it happened it turned a little to the south of us and kind of petered out. The next typhoon is due at the end of this weekend. It is supposed to be bigger than the last one, so I’ll spend some time tomorrow tying some things down to make sure they don’t fly away.
Since it is my birthday tomorrow Kuniko is taking me out to dinner in Osaka. We’re trying an Italian restaurant recommended by one of Kuniko’s foodie friends, and I’m hoping to eat lots of Napoli style pizza. Hopefully they’ll have a good wine list as well. I’m not sure what else we’ll be doing in Osaka, since we were just in town last weekend enjoying the usual amusements. It’ll be fun to explore, though.
