Happy Sunday!

First off congrats to Kamala the new president of the USA...... I mean Biden 😆. I really liked his speech, it shows he’s a man of faith. Haven’t watched Kamala’s yet.

DashOut

Last Friday I was up and about taking care of some business but got back just in time to have lunch with wifey. I wanted to go somewhere new, but she said hmmmmm. So we ended up going to the オシャレ restaurant around the way.
_{オシャレ　means fancy, pronounced “oshalle”.}

Of all the fanciness on the menu I go for grilled chicken... but this one was with some special citrus 🍊 sauce. When it arrived they actually forgot the sauce I was told. It was supposed to be beside the white looking gravy in the mini bowl. My image was the chicken was grilled with the citrus sauce, but I guess not. All in all it was a bland dish but good vibes to chat and plan.

One thing I like about a lot of the restaurants here is they have touch screen menus. But it also got me worried a little once the pandemic started as I know they don’t wipe them down after each rotation of guests. But here is the best thing about restaurants in Japan, the culture is to give you a wet napkin/sanitizer as you are seated. Some places give a hot towel, but this has been the culture since forever.

Kinda MIA

I’ve been spending a lot of time these last couple days sorting out my website and getting the translations separated. Well the little time I did have between work and family. Friends came over on Saturday and were like, “where is Dean?” I wanted to say “working bitch!” But I paid them no mind till I solved the puzzle of the moment then went and had a toast and chatted a bit before diving back to solve another puzzle. I’ve mostly figured things out but there is a lot of work to do like translate some fine details, all the products and the automatic emails and payment options. I’m basically preparing and having faith by doing the the things I’ve always wanted to do with the site, while things are down.

Everyone’s loving the chips

These chips are my main product at the moment as everything else is basically sold out and hard to procure at good prices because of the pandemic. But I really like the time that has given me to revamp and think about the website.

The lovely part about these chips is they are made right here in Japan by a Jamaican and I actually never have to package and send off a box. They go straight from the chef to the customer. I just serve as the sales /marketing with a wide range of payment options to choose from and the convenience of a website.

On a sad note

Today marks 7 years since my sister in law passed away. So we went to the grave and lit some incense and said a prayer. I don’t have a sister but she really showed me what it would be like. We were really tight and did a lot of things together. Many considered her my second wife.

I really do feel it it for my wife as she only had one sibling. It’s hard to think about at times. The good thing is, she has many true friends.... can’t say the same about myself 😆 😞.

After paying our respect ✊🏿 it was time for lunch. A lunch so big there would be no need for dinner. This is just my main below, but there was so much stuff we ended up taking some home.

Interestingly I went to the park today ( as usual) and took my shoes off to get the vibes of the earth ( the in tune know what I’m talking about), this also just inspired ( literally as I typed this) to select the TOK song Footprints to bring an end to this post and to bring a sense of peace to anyone missing a loved one that has gone to the other side.
