On Saturday night we had Yoshi, Mamiko and Akira over for dinner. It had been a while since we’d gotten together, and in that time I think Akira had grown almost as tall as me. Soon he’ll be taller than both Yoshi and myself – maybe up to 190 cm tall. Akira ate like a champ, too, and we had a good conversation over dinner and wine.<\/p>\n
Sunday Kuniko and I stayed home most of the day, however we did have to drive our car over to the Honda dealership for the bi-annual inspection. The dealer had promised to fix a few small problems that we found. I think the next time the inspection comes up we’ll probably take it to another place – I’m sure we can get a better deal. We left the car there overnight, and Kuniko will pick it up this evening on her way home. <\/p>\n
We finally watched “Guardians of the Galaxy” on Sunday. This was a movie that I had really been looking forward to, but I wasn’t all that impressed at the end. There were some good laughs and nice special effects, but a little bombastic for my tastes. Still, a good movie to watch in the afternoon for a couple hundred yen.<\/p>\n
This week Kuniko and I both have regular schedules, so no big surprises. In the next few weeks we will choose where to spend our summer vacation. We’re not sure if we’ll have one week or two weeks to travel, so we’re considering our options for both situations. It is fun to let your mind wander over the map and consider where we’d like to go. Somewhere cooler would be nice for summer. Hmm…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
