May I hasten to add to my last blog (bloog!) that last night our hosts treated us to the most amazing sushi you can imagine––including what we could call "Japanese Gumbo" ...mmmmm!––and invited the whole servant team.  I include this because we were so impressed with their eagerness (without having read my blog) to shower these hard-working young people with such love and appreciation––and a very pricey and delectable repass!  Given the previous insight on the economics of many young people today all around the world (certainly in the US) my "daddy" side really rejoiced in seeing them have so much fun and eat so much "Tomago!"

BTW, my nickname, given to me by awesome jazz pianist Takana Miyamoto, is "Ojiichan," meaning Grandpa!  Don't make me include a photo of our handsome grandson Kobe––speaking of Japanese names!
