What Did I Just Say?

This is the top of the path leading down through the graveyard to Dounji Temple.

I walk through here at least three or four times a week. Today the air was perfect. Hot sun, cool breeze. The cicadas are starting to calm down. A little. Watching the seasons change through the lens of this particular location excites me. I look forward to my visits here. I also regularly come across snakes and get bit by gnats and mosquitos here. Apparently the temple was established in the year 1338. If you come visit me in July I'll take you there in the evening to see fireflies. If you visit at any other time I'll take you just to take you. We can go across the road and have fried chicken.

Eri took the bus and subway downtown this morning because she's enrolling in a web design course. I'm excited for her, but also nervous because the class is every weekday evening for four months. We're gonna have some family adventures for sure.

I showed Kenzo how to use his police pistol to pick off bad guys. We drew bank robber faces on paper cups and placed them around the living room. Then he loaded his suction darts and slowly crept in through the front hall. One by one he failed to shoot any perps.

We laughed and I reminded the boys that pointing guns, even toy guns, at people is a very bad thing to do.

Osamu instantly turned and shot a suction cup dart at me.

Not About Baseball

I stayed up past my bedtime again last night. I almost made it. I watched a couple of episodes of Ted Lasso and came to a good stopping point where I was satisfied with myself for enjoying some quiet TV time with my favorite show and even though it was after midnight, I was confident I could still get a pretty good night's sleep. But no. For some reason I decided it would be a good idea to just lay on the living room carpet and put on a movie. I saw the first seven or eight minutes of Goodfellas and then I woke up when the end credits were rolling with Sid Vicious' is cover of My Way . I brush my teeth and I can see the light of day already shining in through the bathroom window. "It’s almost the longest day of the year," I told myself, to at least rationalize why I'm brushing my teeth and crawling into bed at this hour. I was trying to minimize the mental anguish I regularly put on myself for not just going to bed like I should. I told Eri that I was thinking a...

Overpriced Highball for the Big Guy

I keep falling asleep at my desk and waking up all groggy and surly in the middle of night, stumbling downstairs to brush my teeth without waking anyone, and slinking back up the steps and into bed. So I was the last one up again this morning, but I made up for it by quickly getting ready and taking the boys out on a Sunday morning walk to look for bugs. Kenzo has been particularly keen on capturing another lizard. He doesn't understand that lizard season is ending and those guys are becoming more and more rare. He got his hopes up when we came across a little one walking up some woodsy steps. After that we took a break. Eri's sister and her husband stopped by to grab the car seats that the boys just graduated from. Their little girl Emika is just now big enough to start using one and next spring she's gonna have a brand new baby brother or sister who will also need a car seat, so the timing worked out nice for all of us. Emika apparently loves Thomas the Tank Engine (who d...

Mr. Blue Sky

Man, I conked out so hard on the living room floor tonight. Right after bath time, before story time. I barely remember. Completely exhausted. Big adventure day. Another in a long series I hope the boys will remember when they’re older... our first IMAX movie, a downtown city outing, and some life lessons in the game center. We left the house at 9:15 a.m. and didn’t get back until nearly 6 p.m., totally spent but full of pizza and memories. The Wild Robot in IMAX was totally stunning. The scale, the colors, the sound. We could feel every gust of wind and rustle of leaves. I made sure we had prime seats, row G, right in the center. Two big buckets of popcorn too, which, according to Kenzo and Osamu, I absolutely should not be sharing. “You should get your own!” they kept saying. I think a little bit of popcorn thievery is well within my rights as the papa. After the movie, we headed through the cold and wind across to the game center on the other side of Sendai Station. Being...
