Another night of imperfect sleep. I didn't get quite enough and it just wasn't
quite solid enough... shucks. Eriko and I were both dragging this morning, but
we made it to work on time. I was real productive in the morning (before anyone
else arrived) and did pretty good until lunch. Eriko joined me as I went out
for lunch with my old boss, Bill, and co-worker David. It was nice. Eriko
didn't participate that much in the conversation, but neither did David for
that matter. Bill and I talked tech for quite a bit. ;) I had a few meetings
and then went off for my first private Japanese lesson. Hideki met me at
Starbucks at 4 o'clock and the session lasted an hour. Next week it will be
two hours. Humorously, this is the same Starbucks where I met Yuki twice a
week. We reviewed the first eight chapters of the book. He said my grammar
was good, but I attribute that to the reviewing I did. It was a good session
and I look forward to it occuring regularly. I had hoped to just sneak into
work and check email, but I got caught up in a conversation that caused me to
be about 20 minutes late for dinner. I sent Eriko a note to let her know.
After dinner we relaxed, watched Seinfeld, and then went to Kinko's to check
out our proof. It wasn't to our liking, so we asked for some modifications and
will return tomorrow. Back at home, Eriko asked me to make some changes to
her website, which took a fair bit of time. Then, I wrote some diary entries,
showered, watched Seinfeld, and will soon be snoozzing.
