we won a three-legged-race

My wife and I won a three-legged-race - I think it was the first I'd ever run. This was at the "undokai", the annual gymnastics day of the kids' Japanese school. We, the adults of red team won all three tug-of-wars. Ken's relay team won their match. It was a good day.

Ken had a bit of a sunburn, and I think we all had a bit of fatigue from the wind.

Work is about a daily search for meaning as well as daily bread; for recognition as well as cash; for astonishment rather than torpor; in short for a sort of life, rather than a monday-to-friday sort of dying.
