The Week #257

by
  • 🪐 Leo had a field trip to the Shonandai Culture Center, which he's been going to since he was one. Sometimes it's nice when field trips take you some place new, but this time it was an old favorite. Though it was his first time going with his friends, so I suppose that's new.

    He had such a good time that he came back and said "Dad, I want to go to the culture center with you on the weekend!". And so we did. We also saw a show at the planetarium, always fun (and a good place to almost catch a nap 😉).
  • 🍝 After the culture center and an hour at the park, Leo and I had a guys night out and ate dinner at Pepita Lion.  I had fresh pasta with nama-ham and greens. Leo had the tomato omelette rice and we split an order of fries. The food was excellent as always. Although it was too late for coffee, their coffee is really good as well. They were roasting coffee out front as they usually do, which is not something you usually see and equally excited both Leo and myself.

    How nice is it to go to a favorite place again instead of the usual chain family restaurants? So so nice. And it's supporting a local business that's been in the neighborhood for longer than I've been alive. If you're in the neighborhood, I highly recommend a visit. Much easier to just drop in now that they take credit cards/touch payment.
  • 💪 I switched from a short program to a medium program in alpha progression (weight training app) and it (predictably) is making a difference. Seeing the number of reps and or weight go up each week is motivating. I'm not sure how accurate my scale is in terms of body fat / muscle mass (as there's nothing to hold on to to get electric impedance testing from my upper body), but clothes are fitting different so that's all the matters.
