Friday night Dad and Marsha came over for a Dominican Republic style chicken dish we made. They brought Mickey so Sango was happy - and sad when they left. The food turned out well, and it was pretty healthy I assured them. Dad has lost 30 lbs!

Saturday we gorged ourselves at Saburo suishi and went to Portland Taiko's fall show with Akiko and her boyfriend Jordan. Jordan seems very nice, easy-going and has a good sense of humor. The performance was fabulous, but a lot more movement and dancing now that the ensemble is under new directorship.
