This was a little sweet from one of my coworkers, a lovely example of the Omiyage that often appears on my desk. I don’t know about you, but I spend most of my days dreaming in the Sponge Cake!

So what are your plans for the weekend? The Sakura seem to be hitting peek bloom in our area, so we’re going to a Hanami Party with some friends. I can’t wait!

I might also try to fit in a bike ride by the river, which I’ve been really enjoying lately, making it out almost day after work. If we’re friends on Facebook, you’ve already heard this story, but the other day I happened to ride my bike past my school’s baseball diamond. I wasn’t surprised by the usual chorus of “I love you!” from the team, but I was confused by the one kid that called out “I can play the piano!” At least it was grammatically correct? I love my students! ♥
