こんばんは!How’s it going?
Today I was looking around the home office for some printer ink, and I came across an old box that had a pair of sunglasses in it. I had totally forgotten about this pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers since I haven’t seen them in years! This is the pair that I wore during high school in the mid-’80s.
I had two pairs of wayfarers – classic black, and a limited editions black and pearl pair. I actually took the earpieces from the pearl pair and put them on the black fronts, so this pair is unique (and I don’t know where its counterpart might live anymore).
For 30+ year old glasses, these are in pretty good shape, with only a few scratches on the lenses but the frames are showing some age. I offered them to my 15-year old, but he declined. He said they were too heavy! I said that’s because they are real Ray-Bans. He wasn’t impressed until I told him that they cost $115 when I was his age and now they sell them for $150.
Anyways, maybe someday I will get them adjusted since they are a little crooked. But that’s the way they were back in the ’80s so maybe I will keep them like that. 😎
This post got me wanting to hear some music we listened to back in the ’80s so I might as well share, right? Enjoy!
I hope you had a great day!
おやすみなさい!

Today’s dinner is my favorite food, which I’ve posted about a few times in the past. It’s Oyakodon! 😄 Chicken and egg over rice. A simple but tasty meal, which I could eat every day. Well, maybe not every day, but I wouldn’t mind seeing how many days in a row I could go. I love it so much.
At work, I had a really good day, getting a ton of work done. Since we’ll be on vacation for a couple weeks I wanted to finish up projects for the year as much as possible. I realize that I will have to check in during my vacation in case something urgent comes up, but hopefully nothing will take up too much of my time. I mean, I have some serious Mahjong to play with my family! 😠
Anyways, it’s usually pretty light during the holidays since everyone else wants to take it easy too. 🎄
I hope you also had a good, productive day!
おやすみなさい!

Today our son’s band had their final concert before they head off to Chicago to perform at the Midwest Clinic. They sounded great! I am so proud of him.

Have a good evening!
おやすみなさい!
