daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
こんばんは。 How’s it going?
Today’s photo is of a fresh apple sitting in our kitchen. 🍎 I thought the color looked really nice, especially seeing it next to the wooden breadbox.
It seems that I don’t eat much fruit these days, but actually, I will have a banana, kiwi fruit, or tangerine while in the office. It’s so nice that my workplace provides fresh fruit for us! I really should take advantage of it more often. But pizza…

こんばんは。Today I was downtown attending a conference and when I was walking to the parking garage, I took the photo above. One neat thing about the city is that there is cool stuff if you look up!
I hope you had a good day.

So the other day I was looking at some reviews of the Seiko SNK809 and one of them featured a watch with a leather band and I thought it looked pretty good. I did a little online shopping for one but then thought that I might take the 20mm band that is on my Timex Weekender and put it on the Seiko. The problem is that the Seiko takes an 18mm band, but just to see what the watch face might look like with leather, I squeezed the 20mm band onto the smaller watch. And it turns out that it not only looks good (in my opinion), but the 20mm width matches the watch better than the skinnier 18mm. As an added bonus, the leather band is much more comfortable than the nylon Zulu strap.
So, I am going to wear the smaller SNK809 at home and then wear the SKX007 when I am at work. I guess sometimes I’ll wear the smaller watch outside too. 😝 I suppose it’s an effort to keep both watches wound, and I’ll try to keep the dates accurate too! I’m curious to see how it works out. But the “new” leather band on the Seiko SNK809 gives it a totally different look. It’s almost like having a brand new watch. 😀
I hope you had a nice day!

Tonight’s dinner at Ho Ho Chinese BBQ:
こんばんは。
Tonight Koa and I bought burritos from our favorite burrito shops: Freebirds World Burrito. Based in Austin, we find it superior to Chipotle, which was where we often went to get our carnitas burritos. Freebirds has more options for salsas and veggies, the portions are larger, and the vibe is local and more fun.
Value-wise, I think it’s a better deal as well. Mariko and I will buy a $9 Monster-size burrito and share it, which is plenty for us, while the kids will each get their own $7 Freebird. And sometimes Bay will eat half for dinner and save half for the next day’s breakfast. 😛
What I especially like about Freebirds is that they have several different salsas to try, ranging from habañero and “Death” on the hot side, all the way down to roasted corn and lime juice on the mild side. In addition to the pico, I’ll get extra cilantro, chopped jalapeño, sour cream, and onion. And that’s in addition to the meat (chicken AND carnitas tonight), beans, rice, and cheese. I’m always amazed that everything fits in the tortilla!
In the photo, you can see how big it is compared to a can of beer. It’s so much food, and so, so yummy.
I hope you had a nice Friday!
