    • ๐ŸŽ‰ Happy New Year! 2025 is off to one heck of a start. I'll be fastening my seat belt and try to keep my attention on things that I can actually do something about. And for everything else I'll wait for all this to blow over (๐ŸงŸ).
    • ๐ŸŽฅ On Leo's last day of winter break, I took him to see Sonic 3 in Minatomirai. On the way there I was walking and talking with Leo and we realized we haven't seen a movie, just the two of us, since the Mario movie came out a couple of years ago. The movie itself was quite enjoyable. Jim Carry is ace. After the movie was over, I learned that my co-worker's kid was in the same screening with their friends! Small world!
    • โ˜•๏ธ On the way back to the station Leo was hungry so we dropped by Starbucks for (it turns out) his dinner and a cup of coffee. After a rough couple of days with Leo, to have him re-centered and properly communicating was such a breath of fresh air. It reminded me that being a Dad is pretty great.
      Rainy view from Starbucks
    • ๐Ÿ’ช I closed all of my rings this week. Deciding to do some other form of exercise at home (yoga or kettle bell) on the days I don't run has been key as I'm done in 15 minutes and that's usually just enough to close the remaining rings if they aren't already closed.
    • ๐ŸŽง In my headphones this week is New Jeans, a Korean pop band. I haven't listened to K-Pop (BoA, S.E.S. etc...) since the early 2000's when I almost exclusively listened to Japanese and Korean music. Waking up in the middle of the night I have their song ETA (Apple music, YouTube) running through my head. I should learn to read Hangul.
