Family visit

The horse races was a lot of fun even though I lost every race. I’ve never seen anything like it, all the people would yell and scream when the horses were near the finish line. I rooted for my horses but it didn’t help them, two of them were last.

We went to a Japanese Yakiniku restaurant for dinner. We both had beef Yakiniku, fired rice and salad. They had hibachi’s on the table and I cooked the meat, showing off my skill with chop sticks. He asked me if I was going to eat that fried rice with chop sticks, I asked the waiter for a spoon. Spoons are much better for fried rice.

We’re going to visit his sister in San Clemente tomorrow. His brother will be there and they are having a barbecue. Jimmy told me to wear jeans and to be on my best behavior and not act like a smitten teenager. I told him I was a smitten teenager and he would just have to get used to it. He was joking, I think, but he obviously wants me to make a good impression on his sister.
