Tonight we celebrated Koa’s birthday by taking him out to a Brazilian steakhouse. We haven’t been to one in a few years, so we were really looking forward to it. It was delicious, of course, but we all ate a bit too much.
Apologies to any vegetarians who had to view these photos. Sorry!
I hope you had a nice day!

The title of this post could be used to describe a person, but in this case, I am describing the Suntory beer can that I use to hold pens. I think I bought this just out of college, which would mean it’s been in service holding pens and pencils for 28 years! It’s rested on many desks since then, but it’s always come with me whenever I moved. Just looking at the can, I can imagine it in all those different places, quietly doing its job.
It’s strange that I’ve used such a simple, throwaway item (it’s actually trash), for all these years. But I love it. I guess it’s both useful and sparks joy, which is the sweet spot as far as possessions go. And add the BIFL (buy-it-for-life) aspect on top of that, and this Suntory beer can pen holder is just perfect.
I hope you had a nice day!

Tonight’s dinner that my wife made for us was delicious as usual, but what is interesting is that the main dish is a backup. Mariko started to prepare a fish dish, but the frozen whitefish fell apart in the pan and didn’t taste right. So she threw it out and prepared the dish you see in the photo above seemingly out of thin air. I don’t know how she does it. To me, it’s such an amazing skill to be able to look at what we have in our fridge, then find a recipe in a minute or two, and finally possessing the skill to actually put it all together.
I don’t like to brag, but hey, I’m going to have to brag today! 😆 I have the best wife if the world.
I hope you had a nice Friday!

Today is Opening Day of the 2019 major-league baseball season here in the States, and to celebrate, I had a hot dog for lunch. In true melting-pot of America style, I got the Vietnamese-styled hot dog, which according to the Mission Dogs website, has cucumber-carrot-jalapeño-cilantro slaw, garlic-chili sauce, and Sriracha mayo. These toppings sit on top of a bacon-wrapped hot dog. This dog is DELICIOUS!
Anyway, I streamed a game at work in the afternoon (sorry for being a bandwidth hog) on mlb.tv (free once again for T-Mobile customers!), and then at home Bay and I watched the Dodger game. What made this particular game awesome was that the Dodgers hit 8 home runs, which is an MLB opening day record!
I’m looking forward to another world series run for my favorite team, and hopefully, we can win one before I get too old. 😄
