November Second and all's well!!
I met with Mel Bohn yesterday because he has so graciously agreed to write a recommendation letter for me. Incidentally, I guess I hadn't quite caught the significance of the meeting I was allowed to partially attend. So, I was lucky enough to meet members involved with the organization of the Japanese Ambiance festival at the Laurizten Gardens. I pretty much just listened in, but because I was actually at Ambiance, I was able to contribute a little.
I really hope they didn't notice, but since it has been so long since I had agedashi tofu, I almost cried when I ate the first bite.
On a more random note: I've borrowed a mnemonic to help me make more clear everyday decisions. The mnemonic in English has a slightly different purpose but I think the application is more broad.
飢怒孤疲 (could read this Kidokohi)
I even turned it into a four Kanji word. I.e. yojijukugo 四字熟語
Each character represents one of the states that you should not be in when making a decision: Hunger, Anger, Lonely, Tired.
This is kind of a continuation of my thoughts on momentous decisions.
Blaze on!
