I just plugged the camera memory chip into my computer and discovered the Family Fun we’ve had in the last couple of weeks. Kaz brought us these nice crystal glasses from Tokyo for our beverage enjoyment. That might be Sue’s favorite summertime beverage and tonic might be one of the ingredients.
Here’s Kazuho enjoying orange juice from my vintage 1982 Gorman Thomas McDonald’s glass.
On Labor Day Weekend we rented a bike for Kaz and hauled our bikes down to the Mississippi River trail. NiceRide is the equivalent of Milwaukee’s Bubblr Bikes. I hear San Antonio has a bike rental deal, too. Speaking of San Antonio, The Berg’s and our family will be in San Antonio at the same time in October. Get ready for us Steve and Liz!
We had a good time. Today we will drive down to Rochester not to visit the Dali Lama who is getting a checkup at Mayo but instead for Kaz’s first soccer game of the season. Both Makiko and Johanna The First had games at this same school in Rochester. Swoop Falcons!
That’s the high bridge in the background and downtown St. Paul.
Kaz is learning slowly that American kids do homework and the homework is very hard when it is in your second language. Gambatte! (Try Hard!)
We visited some new homes on the Parade of Homes, a tour of expensive houses with way too many bedrooms and bathrooms. On of the houses was so big it took six large steps to walk from the sink to the stove. Cooking would be a lot of exercise.
Off to school!
This is what happens if the bedroom door remains open. . .
Last night was the Homecoming Dance at school.
This picture is for my Mom. Mom, this is how I have my laptop set up on a stand with a mouse attached and also a keyboard and external speakers. I can take it with me if I need to but I mostly use it in my computer room / office. I have the stand on a couple of books to try to improve the ergonomics. I am playing with the trombone quartet later today at the annual Oktoberfest Party over in St. Paul. Have a good weekend everyone!
