“Pancake Cat” Cedar Park, 2021
Anko is a chubby cat, but it’s amazing how flat she can get sometimes. 😂

こんばんは。How’s it going?
Today we went for an early dinner at Loro. The restaurant is very popular, so we went early to beat the crowds and grab a table outside. Loro’s menu is kind of a mix of Asian and Texas BBQ, and everything we had was deeeelicious! Highly recommended if you are in Austin!
FYI, we’re still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, with cases rising here in Texas, so we thought hard about going out to eat. But because we went early and Loro has plenty of outdoor seating, we though it was safe. Indeed, all staff was masked up (as we were, when not stuffing our faces) and they were cleaning tables regularly.
I hope you had a great day! またね~
My nice, new, and clean running shoes are now muddy and properly broken in because today’s run took me on the local school’s cross-country track. It’s a fun route, and one I’ve run before, but there’s a shortcut that I didn’t take before which would take me to the adjacent neighborhood. This little part of the city has a small airfield, plenty of deer, and relaxed country lanes. What a relaxing place to run and bicycle.
Here are a few more photos from today, and also the Strava route:
Today I watched a bunch of Olympics on my laptop as I worked. First up was a replay of the karate kata event which was super cool! I love it! Next up was the women’s skateboard park event which was awesome. The finals were so exciting, with Japan taking gold and silver.
Finally, I watched the women’s marathon while making (and eating dinner). Long distance runners are incredible. It was really cool to watch the American runner win the bronze medal. USA!
The Olympics are so inspiring. Of course I love the long running races, but the skateboarding makes me want to hop on my board and hit the skatepark!
Our friend bought this bottle of Carolina Reaper hot sauce at Buc-ee’s for us and I am excited to try it! I hope I don’t suffer too much. 🥵
