Drummin'

Yesturday was insanely hot again and I went out shopping so along my walk I found the Japanese Drum Museum. It was air conditioned so I stopped in. It turned out to be very cool. You get to play the drums and my favorite is the one in the middle ground here, just below the big swirl. I know I promised to be more vigilant with the blog but it has been too stinky hot to hang out on the balcony. The peanut, computer and I were melting. The last two nights I have been hanging out with friends of Bill's. It's been fun and refreshing. I have to admit it's nice to have the kids out of town. I get to do what I want which is a little different than what the 20 year old peeps want. Today I spent some time at the National Museum which was pretty awesome but mostly my day has involved sleeping in, a late breakfast, some laundry and minimal siteseeing. Just chillin' My bones are starting to ache a little and walking around just isn't an activity I can do a lot of or at least not for extended periods of time. As of today I have two more weeks here and then it is home sweet home. I have already informed Aaron what I want for dinner when I get back. Some BBQ or fried chix, cole slaw, root beer, and most important a fruit cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Oh and peanut wants a big glass of milk. Dairy is not a big part of the Japanese diet so it's a struggle to get even one serving a day. I found this little traditional Japanese outfit for young boys yesturday and I couldn't resist. Peanut keeps making me buy him souvenirs, after all he is just as much on this journey as I am. I think I may have to send a package home via mail as my purchases may not fit in my luggage on the way back. oops!! Aaron has informed me I really need to stop spending money so he can pay the bills. He's so unreasonable!! :) Anyway I think I have taken care of everyone on the list - no I'm not telling, you'll just have to wait. I miss you all and want to know why you've stopped the commentary. Is it because it's the weekend so you aren't procrastinating at work?? Or does the blame fall on me for not posting everyday. I'm in search of fireworks tonite there is supposed to be a big show in Yokohama but it depends which web site you look at as to whether it is this Sun or next. I think tonight since tomorrow is the holiday but who knows, that's a little too much logic for Tokyo. See all of ya soon, e-
