Monday morning.  It was a lovely weekend puttering around the house and getting a few clean-up chores accomplished.  I love that feeling!  Saturday morning was yoga as usual, followed by a 3 mile walk--then a client came for a session.  Later, Robert and I went shopping and we grilled some chicken for dinner.  We watched a video of Anthony Hopkins in The World's Fastest Indian--a very heart-warming story of a a man dedicated to working on his motorcycle to make it go faster.  In his seventies, Burt Munro, established world records.  The very spirit of passion and intention and follow-through.

I also weeded through all my accumulated photographs of family, friends, and travel and through out non-superior pictures.  I had enough good pictures to fill ten more small plastic photograph booklets.  Now...what to do with ALL the booklets I have in the garage.  I think I need to order them chronologically and number them sequentially--will this give me the feeling of being in control that I seem to lust after?

I watched Augie for two hours this morning while Eliza went out.  He turns 2 on Wednesday, so I'll have a little family dinner before I go down to Studio City to spend 3 days with Sigrid, Trevor, and Coco.  Then a birthday party here for Augie's friends on Sunday afternoon!

Fumiko just returned from Mt. Shasta yesterday--and we have lots to talk about with the new book galley coming, and the business matters for October's visit to Tokyo. 

After dinner last night, Robert, Fumiko, and I watched one of our recorded Globe Trekker shows--on Japan!  It was a great show--and it was fun to see the Tsukiji Fish Market--which was the first sight that Robert found to take us to on our first visit to Japan in 2003.  That morning, we were so awake at 5 am due to jet lag, that we whipped over to the fish market--and ended up having sushi for breakfast!  Robert is exceptionally good at reading maps in any foreign country.
