a brief acknowledgement

If you've been reading this thing for any length of time, you know that Mimi's family is in Tokyo. We are thrilled to report that everybody is safe and sound. A good shake, a few broken things here and there, it's possible one of our nieces had to spend the night at school, but that's really as bad as it got for our immediate family. And while we are taking stock of our good fortune, we wanted to acknowledge the terrible pain and loss being felt elsewhere in Japan. Our hearts go out to everyone who was affected by the astonishing events of the past day. We wish you peace.

Mimi, I'm glad to hear that. I was wondering if you had any extended family or friends in the affected areas. It's just horrific.

panicky interlude

This is not the promised "Magical Ponies" post. Apologies. Instead, this is the "You Negligent Monster" post. Because Kiddo is in a Japanese daycare, parents are asked to remove their shoes before coming in. No problem. I have a pair of loafers that I hate that I wear on pickup days so I can get in and out more quickly. Most days while I'm putting my shoes on, Yuki will run away from me and I will make noisy protestations and she will giggle and come back. Today, however, there was the running and the noisy protestations and the giggling and a splat. I guess she tripped ("running away" involves going around a corner where I can't see her) because she was crying and pulling herself up off the floor when I got to her. "No big deal" as she likes to say (she does, really, it's friggin' adorable). She had a little red line across the bridge of her nose but there was no blood. She asked for a Band Aid and I told her we'd get her one...
