Yesterday was my 41st birthday, and it wasn’t really a big event. \u00a0Kuniko and I had decided to move the party to tonight so that we could do something fun. \u00a0The plan is to go to Akashi after work and have a nice quiet dinner at Chiro over a bottle of wine. \u00a0I can’t wait.<\/p>\n
Although yesterday was quiet, there were still some birthday events. \u00a0Kuniko bought me a new necktie, which is starting to become a tradition, and a package and birthday card arrived from the USA. \u00a0 The Birches sent the card, which was pretty funny (as usual), and my parents sent along some goodies. \u00a0One of the funniest things they sent was a copy of Cosmopolitan magazine for Kuniko to check out. \u00a0The cover has lots of attention grabbing articles like “How To Have Sex That Will Knock Your Panties Off”, which I think cross some serious cultural lines. \u00a0Should be an entertaining read this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
