Choo Choo here comes the sushi train!

Today's Doug's birthday. It's a no fun time of year to have a birthday, this. For years, it would either blizzard on his birthday or it would be flu season at our house. I recall one year, maybe right after Geoff was born, him spending the entire birthday on the floor in the bathroom, hugging the toilet. 

It happens, January. 

Doug picked a sushi restaurant in Rockville where they have a continuous conveyor belt of food coming your way, and you can order menu items that come to you on a little train car. There is a robot that brings other food from the kitchen. It got mad because the chair next to me was not in the right spot and it detected it, and couldn't get through.

It was kind of funny. 

Our waiter was from Columbia, he's been in the US for 4 years, lived in Miami, met a girl, she needed to move to DC so he came with. He was darling. I asked him if he had to learn any Japanese to work at the restaurant and he said yes, to work with the chefs. But he is enjoying it, and has been here for two months.

We apologized for the weather. 

All told it was a great fun night. Blood sugar is a little high because I should have taken my pills with me, but, all told with the rice and the ice cream blobs, I'm not surprised. It'll come down overnight. Thanks, medicine.

Digits below. I didn't take a photo of the choo choo train but caught a little video. I'll try to figure out how to embed it, but, here's a link. I hope it works for folks I'm not friends with? Leave a comment if it does or does not! 

I'm super obsessed with the chopstick rests.
