Update ...

Up and at'em earlier today. Several errands, and calls to make. I am better at the former than the later. Three loads of laundry, linens are in now. I drove to Kaiser to get a refill, which wasn't approved so I will wait 12-24 hours. While there I noticed the gorgeous sky and great palm trees to share with you.

 

 

The sky was such a beautiful blue, just some striated wisps of clouds. 71 degrees.

 

 And on the short drive home I saw this shiny new white Ferrari! I actually heard it before I located it. Next stop light I took a hurried shot. You get the idea?

 

 In younger days I would have been drooling, but now I am more sensible and just appreciate the beauty, and I am happy for the owner. Owning such a car, he probably is not overly concerned with the $6+ per gallon gas price?

WonderWoman flew in from her busy day with lunch from

We both had Hakata Ramen and Marinated Pork Fried Rice. Oishi!

 

 

 

Throwback Thursday

 

Demura Sensei & Yuji Okumoto

 

 I have known Yuji for over 35 years. He was kind enough to come to the annual Costa Mesa Dojo 1988 holiday tournament & signed autographs after Karate Kid II.

 

 

Yuji was a guest of honor at Demura Sensei's 25th  Anniversary Banquet,1990, a great black tie event.
 

So it has been wonderful to follow his acting and producing career. A recent interview, here.

 

 A great interview into his career and family. I recently saw Paper Tigers on Netflix and loved not only the action, but especially the humor not often found in martial arts films.

 

 Yuji Okumoto, one of the good guys.

 

 

 

 

A 1-1/2 minute video, Yuji's commercial, here.

 

Just because ...
