Saturday, March 28, 2026 Since we didn’t use our breakfast coupons yesterday, we took Mike and Kristine to breakfast in the hotel today. Mike used his dictionary and was able to get the eggs for Kris and I cooked through. Delicious. He and Keith enjoyed using the rice machine – you set a bowl under […]

Friday, March 27, 2026 We all went to 7-11 for breakfast. It was a definite upgrade from eating in the hotel restaurant. We shared a chicken cutlet sandwich, grapes, and each had our new favorite, a souffle with whipped cream and custard (think a really good homemade twinkie). All of yesterday’s perseverance in getting working
Thursday, March 26, 2026 Getting our seven-day rail pass was not easy. Well, it was for me because I just stood away and let everyone else work on it. They did a terrific job. It took a metro ride to a train station, then a train ride to a different train station, waiting in one,
Wednesday, March 25, 2026 Barbara uploaded some pictures from our day in Osaka, then promptly fell asleep. So, I’ll put all of the pictures here with a brief caption under each to let you know what it is. These may or may not be in any order that makes sense. I’m tired too, so I’m
Tuesday, March 24, 2026 It must be Tuesday because I just did Tuesday’s Wordle. I am pretty confused about when it is, to be honest. The flight to Tokyo was good . We were in premium select, so we had nice leg room, a little foot rest, and comfy pillows. I slept 40 minutes. I

Monday, March 23, 2026 We are about to get on the plane, and it will be tomorrow when we get off, so I better post now. Visiting Japan is a top of the bucket list thing for me. I’ve always thought if I got a terminal diagnosis I’d get on a plane to Japan first,
Sunday, March 22. 2026 I forgot Carla’s birthday. Friday night I wrote March 20 and thought, “Keith’s mom’s birthday is tomorrow.” Then my brain made some lumpy sounds. It banged around a little bit, not accepting the thoughts that were swirling. Mmm. LaVon on March 21. Carla on March 19. No, Carla can’t be March

Friday, March 20, 2026 We went to Open Window’s production of The Giver tonight. The book is a middle school staple. The play very closely follows the book. It had some really excellent set pieces that allowed for shadows to appear as ideas are talked about by the characters. The utilitarian set had projections…um…projected to
Thursday, March 19. 2026 There was a place in the Maplewood Mall called Da Bin (Daa Bin?) It was closed on Wednesday for restocking, then everything was $10 on Thursday with pricing dropping to $1 on Tuesday. On a Tuesday before Christmas, Alexander went and got us each a ridiculous item. I totally surprised him
