The kids are having a good time but of course so have I. Keiko and I have been shopping every day. She is such a serious shopper, it's like she is Berni's retail biological sister and I'm the odd one out. I did buy out Gymboree and Children's Place on their summer sales. (At least everything that Keiko didn't buy.)
Was invited to poker night at the Baron's. Played tournament style for the first time to my dislike. The boys like heads up play and all that testoterone driven betting. The food was worth more than the $20 I lost. Des made pulled pork sandwiches, a salad with hot mushrooms and a baked vegetable dish with chipotle sauce. I think she's amazing but all her friends are great home entertainers as well. My crowd in Tokyo don't do much fancy home dinners. Kyoko G makes a great pasta dish and peanut butter cookies. Hiroshi and I made three different curries for a party which was a great hit and the party was great fun.
But the biggest highlight was playing tennis for the first time in ten years!! Keiko was an intermediate player in her twenties and we are exactly the same level! We played to a 5-5 tie and didn't have the stamina to play a tie-breaker. I'd love to play again next week but we'll have the girls with us.
Otherwise, I'm watching a little tv, reading books. I'll post photos for this next week. Keiko and I sweating it out at the courts.
