Mariko and I enjoyed our annual cheese fondue dinner to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but this year it was just the two of us. Our oldest son is at university, and our youngest son had dinner with his girlfriend.

So it was a couple’s fondue dinner for the first time in a many years. Kids grow up so fast!

Even without the kids, it was a fun and delicious dinner. I am often just a little bit worried what life will be like as empty-nesters, but on each occasion where we find ourselves in that situation, it has been fine.

Today I received a bicycle bell that I’ve coveted for a while now. It’s a brass Crane Suzu Mini. I really like it! The bell is made in Osaka, Japan, which is cool since that is my wife’s hometown, and the brass color matches Sophie’s gold decals and lug details nicely. Also, the name “Suzu”, which means bell in Japanese, is the same as of my favorite Japanese actresses, 広瀬すず. 😆
