Hello November

Autumn is almost over. Time travels like a blink of an eye. Halloween and thanksgiving have come and gone. Even though T's 2 hours late for our thanksgiving dinner, I saw no reason to get angry. We were thankful for the grace laid on the table. Cold tainted our spur the moment drive plan and we stayed home to watch Taxi 2 (in French!). My aching orthodontic braces didnt stop us from stopping by our fave Italian restaurant in Nerima. My home network was finally put in place, and what perfect time to buy a new dining table that would also serve as our work table. I've put out my winter clothes and put away my tees. I have also committed to a 3-month serious Core Rhythms workout accompanied with conscious dieting (as advised by my Dietician). Ai is now planning our 1st snowboard tour when ski resorts open in December. And as for this week, I still have a few more reasons to smile!

This Week's Highs

1. Obama's election to the US Presidency. Shows us that dreams do come true. And that we can break barriers.
2. A surprise meeting with HB capped with brightly-lit instant smile.
3. Breakfast with Ben who brought good news.
4. Foursome dinner with Masaya, Yuka, Daisuke.
5. Catch-up dinner with Kazumi
6. Visit to the Ishida home in Saitama. Kazu-kun has grown really big!
