December 21, 2017: Montreal-bound!

Ta-da!  Just in time for Christmas.  The perfect stocking stuffer!  Who could resister their very own Bathing Suji t-shirt?  The first in what I suspect will be a long line of Suji-related merchandise – including the pins and lapels Akemi has designed and special-ordered for an early January delivery.  Yep, as I’ve said before, if all goes as planned, I’ll start production on a new series later in 2018, run the show for five seasons, and then retire and live off Suji’s various modeling gigs and paid spokespug appearances.

Well just in time for Christmas – a new refrigerator for mom.  I believe the last one came with the house (purchased, if I remember correctly, in 1974) so it was high time to say goodbye to ole unreliable.  Despite my insistence on wrapping it placing it under the tree for as a Christmas morning surprise, my sister overruled and had them simply deliver it straight into the kitchen.

Yes, Akemi, Lulu, Suji and I will be spending the next couple of weeks in my hometown of Montreal where we’ll be eating, spending time with family (and their innumerable dogs), and drawing ever closer to buying a condo.  There’s a place we have our eye on that we’ll be paying a return visit to next week.  Akemi likes it because it’s an open new construction with plenty of natural light located in a nice neighborhood not too far from downtown.  I like it because it’s two blocks away from this little french bakery that serves up a brioche slathered with nutella topped with whole hazelnuts.  That’s a win win!
