I get home about ten and Megumi is asleep with a cold. She wakes up to eat but goes right back to bed after finishing the meal. A package there from Jessica. I open it to find some more videos . . . hope I can find time to watch them soon.
There was a new kind of beer in the cooler at the store on the way home. I drink a half-liter of it slowly as I wind down from the day’s work and the teaching and the train rides and the loud music on the iPod. It’s very light in color but it has a nice, creamy flavor. I like it.
I make sure the wife is sleeping and surf the net for a bit. Finish the beer and look at the skis and bindings I just bought last weekend. I want it to snow . . . NOW.
I’m really looking forward to this winter. I could use about three more vacation days a week than I get, but that “four day weekend and Wednesdays off for day trips to Tahoe” was a brief, shining moment in my college career . . . Maybe someday I will figure out how to wrangle fifty ski days a season out of my schedule once again.
