I had a pretty nice weekend. \u00a0Friday night I cleaned house (!) and then went over to Red Spanky for the first time in a long time to have some pizza (shrimp, mayo and tomato) and cocktails until Kuniko got home. \u00a0It was good to see the place, but I was still on the early side of their schedule, and there were just a couple of other customers.<\/p>\n
Saturday the Fukumis came over for dinner. \u00a0I made up carne asada street tacos with little 4 inch tortillas that my folks had brought when they came to Japan. \u00a0Over dinner we looked at the pictures from their recent trips (Singapore and New Zealand) and talked about Mr. Fukumi’s upcoming change of scene. \u00a0He’ll be working (and living) in Tokyo during the week, and then coming back here on the weekends to be with his wife. \u00a0It sounds like a hard schedule, but actually, it probably doesn’t change their situation that much. \u00a0Already he works so hard that they don’t have much time to spend together during the week.<\/p>\n
Finally, yesterday Kuniko had to work during the late morning and afternoon, but I spent the day reading on the sofa with the windows open and a nice breeze running through the house. \u00a0I can’t remember the last time that I spent just relaxing and reading. \u00a0Thanks to Sunday’s day of relaxation, I think this week should be a pretty good one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
