Day Trip

Today, Em and I went to Columbus to celebrate our 5th anniversary (that happened last week). We went to a bookstore called "The Book Loft". She figured I'd like it since I seem to love a good book. Even though every book I get just sits on the overcrowded book shelf. I have just resigned myself to the fact that I'm building up a collection to read to keep me busy when I retire. Oh how I wish I had the time to read more. Anyway, this place was a book store the size of a Barnes & Noble, but packed into a space the size of an attic. It was a maze (and horrible to think, a firetrap) of rooms upon rooms of books. Pretty charming little place, but I'd hate to be there if it was really busy. There's hardly any room to walk past anybody.

We met up with her brother and his wife at Fujiyama Steak House. It was a nice little Japanese restaurant with the Hibachi right in front of you. This was the first time in the last 3 times I've been to one of these type restaurants that we actually had a Japanese cook. The last 2 times, we went to Benihana in different cities and we had a Middle Eastern fellow and a black guy before that. Nothing wrong with that, mind you, just not expected. The Japanese cook tonight was much more entertaining. Is it weird that I thought my Grandfather and the cook's father may have been trading shots 60 years ago? I don't know why, but thoughts like that go through my head sometimes.
