I have no idea why these tiny bottles of Tabasco are on my desk… They must have been stocking stuffers at one point? Hmmm…
Holiday Lights
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Thanksgiving is behind us and Christmas is just around the corner. In fact, we already have our tree (fake) decorated and some lights up. We don’t decorate outside anymore, but it’s nice to have some holiday themed items inside the house.
By the way, doesn’t the photo above remind you of Stranger Things? 😆 We just finished season 2, which was great! Except for the one episode where Eleven goes to the city. That was pretty lame. But other than that, it was terrific.
I hope you had a nice day!

Haircuts
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Today I took my younger son to get his haircut. At his age, he’s less concerned about his hair than his older brother. And so, he’s satisfied with getting his haircut at a typical low-cost chain salon. The quality is usually pretty good, and the price is nice too! 👍
My older son prefers to get a more stylized cut, and I take him to a salon that specializes in men’s grooming. They take more time and since they do a lot of buzz-cut styles on the sides, the quality is higher. Of course the price is a lot higher too. 😯 But he’s in high school, so I guess the priorities are different at that age.
As for myself, I get the budget cut. I used to go to the more expensive salons when I was younger, but I guess I am at that age where I just don’t care as much. 😆
I hope you had a nice weekend!

Motoring
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Today I was rearranging things in the garage in order to get the Christmas decorations out and I had my motorcycle “Kiki” parked where we usually have the Prius. It looked so nice and the weather was perfect, so of course, I had to go out for a ride. It felt so great to be out in the warm Texas breeze (it was in the high 70s today) flying along.
These days I enjoy driving the Crosstrek, which is so much more fun than the Odyssey was, but the motorcycle is light years ahead of both. The acceleration, view, contact with the elements, and lean angle are amazing sensations that a car just cannot give. I know there are many cars that are faster than my motorbike (which is not that quick compared to a sport bike), but a quick 0-60 while strapped into a chair that is enclosed in a cage just can’t be the same as sitting on top of a hot engine, zooming in mid-air, while the world leans to the side. For adrenaline and fun, a motorcycle is the way to go. For comfort, convenience, and practicality? A car for sure. I love them both!
