twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2011.07.10

We attempted to do as little as possible today. Of course we both wound up working until midnight.

Mari's taking Kenny back to Japan for a three week visit starting tomorrow. I spent much of the day with the boy while Mari ran errands and packed. Then we both set to a list of things that we had to do after Kenny was asleep. In my case this meant printing and organizing a copy of our application for Mari's permanent residence visa, and making some video DVD's for Kenny to watch while he's on the plane. Exhausting, in a way.

I'll miss them terribly.
