> It's been a good few days. I had a calm, low-key birthday, just as desired. I spent this AM at Jikoji and enjoyed it as usual, and setup some plans to move further on the lingering checkout and reservation changes. Mark and Wendy came over for dinner. Tommy and Olivia joined us. It was such a nice experience to share a meal and reflect on the dozen+ years leading up to this. Life is good. Friends are good. We are so fortunate, it's sort of stunning when I stop and take it in.
