“Shokupan” Cedar Park, 2024
I can’t to wait to enjoy the fresh shokupan that Mariko made for her class today. I’m so spoiled!!

I enjoyed a delightful ride to the park today. With no one else around, I had the chance to snap a photo at the skatepark. I used to come here with my boys and skate. It was always lots of fun, even for beginners!

I went to the library today with Kiki to pick up a book. Honestly, I have too many books in my “To Read” list and Kindle library. I blame BookBub! They have so many interesting books for only a couple of bucks each. I’m set for months, if not years.

Is it my birthday or something? Oyakodon is often my go-to birthday dinner. But no, it’s not my birthday. Still, the oyakodon was just as delicious. Definitely one of my favorite meals!

Today, my workplace hosted an afternoon barbecue in the office building’s courtyard. It was a lot of fun, with hamburgers, hot dogs, brats, and beer. I went with a salmon burger and potato salad which were delicious. We also enjoyed games like cornhole and axe-throwing! If only it weren’t 96°F outside, but despite the heat, everyone had a great time.

I’ve been reading Threads a lot lately, which I have curated to be mostly motorcycle-related. One of the threads asked for helmet selfies, so I took this photo. But when I went back to threads in my desktop browser, I couldn’t locate the original thread. Oh well.
