Christmas in February

Today John found a Christmas present that had somehow been overlooked a couple months back.  It was stashed in a drawer in the living room.  We opened it up and found three kid’s DVDs – a Dreamworks animated movie called Shark Tales, a Barney DVD, and a Bob the Builder Christmas DVD.  John’s watching the Bob the Builder disc now.  It’s just right for another rainy day – can’t really go out and do much.  As for me, I’m trying to finish cleaning out my e-mail inbox (I think I will finally get to all of them today!), and then finish reading Malcolm Gladwell’s latest book, What the Dog Saw.  Barb is taking a nap.

Recovering

 John's last nebulizer treatment

John is doing a lot better today.  The prayers must have helped.  :-)  He was discharged from the hospital at about noon and we have been taking it easy at the hotel since then.  He took a long nap this afternoon and we have been watching the Disney movie "Bolt" tonight.

Passed out at the hotel

Tomorrow morning he has a follow-up appointment at the hospital and hopefully he will be feeling well enough that we can do a little sightseeing tomorrow afternoon.

More to come.

In-flight entertainment

Aside from looking after The Small Mailman on the flight (it's a
nickname I sometimes use for John, borrowed from the new Pixar film
"Up"), I also started reading my new book, "The Good Soldiers" by
David Finkel and watched the Michael Jackson film "This Is It." I had
been wanting to watch this movie but was waiting for an opportunity to
do so without having to pay. It was a strange thing to watch,
knowing that Jackson would live only a few more months after the time
it was filmed. It was also pretty amazing to see Jackson run circles
around the young dancers in his show - he was such a natural talent.
Arrived in Tokyo at about 1:30 PM local.
