At work I had a regular schedule, and I spent my planning time working on basic mid-term plans for all my students.  Before I knew it it was time to go home, and I hustled out the door and caught a train back.  On the way home I finished reading a great book, called &#8220;The Lies of Locke Lamorra&#8221; by Scott Lynch.  Great fantasy fiction&#8230; I can&#8217;t wait to try the next book in the series.<\/p>\n<p>We were looking for a restaurant to hit this Friday, since we both have two days off this weekend, and it is going to be a pretty busy week.  By chance I stumbled on a news article in the US saying that Tony Roma&#8217;s is opening a new restaurant in Japan, and it was without much hope that I clicked on the link to see where the restaurant was opening.  I was shocked to find out that it opened in Kobe four days ago.  I got right on the phone and booked a table for us on Friday.  <\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t actually been to a Tony Roma&#8217;s in any country, but I know they do ribs, and it is pretty hard to get my hands on good ribs here in Japan.  Friday will be an interesting experience.  <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve also got plans to hit Costco tomorrow, since we partied pretty hard and ran out of supplies.  Food in, money out!<\/p>\n<p>The last project that we&#8217;re working on this week is getting a handle on where to go this Christmas.  It&#8217;ll be somewhere warm, but so far that&#8217;s all we got.  Right now the top 3 ideas are the Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam &#8211; some stretch of white sand is waiting for us somewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday was a pretty smooth day, at work and at home.
