Raider Nation Japan

Decided! We are going to the KC game in November 🙂 With Russel kicked and Cambell as the QB this is going to be an exciting season. Though it it 4 months and some away.

Anyway, Raider Nation Japan met at Chie’s today. To discuss the upcoming season and to decide what game to watch live this season.

The first people arrived early today as we had a visitor from San Francisco, Shimura-san. And he had to leave already at 3 pm.

We talked. Ate a lot of Japanese food that mostly Chie had prepared, though I did help out a some. And discussed Russel, Cambell, Raiders and nuclear power plants.



And there is no RNJ party without someone falling asleep. Today it was Moonlight-san again. But it’s OK, then he is fresh and happy when he get back home to his wife 😉 While Moonlight-san was sleeping the rest of us was watching football. Last season’s games. One against Cincinnati. A win :-P. And one against KC. A loss 🙁



Shimura-san’s wife was with us almost all the time as well. Via Skype from San Francisco. She could enjoy and join in on our talk. Unfortunately Skype has not invented a way to share food via the Internet… Yet 😉 So Kikue-san had to be satisfied with talking and watching us eat.



Preparing for RNJ

Stayed home from the office today. Didn’t feel 100%.

In the evening I met Chie at the grocery store in Naka-Meguro. Buying groceries for Raider Nation Japan (RNJ). Party tomorrow. To discuss what game to go to in the upcoming season. Just 4 months or so away.

Sankyu Day

OK, this is going to be difficult to explain. Today was the anniversary of a bento (lunch box) shop close to Chie’s office. So what do you do on your shop’s anniversary?

Well, you make all the bentos 390 yen. Because 3 = san and 9 = kyu. Put together that is sankyu, which is about the same as when Japanese people say “thank you”.

Alice & Khyber

Another day with Club Leo. We met at Seibu to watch Alice in Wonderland. A quite nice movie with Johnny Depp and directed by Tim Burton.

After the movie we took a long walk to Show-dori. Then continued the long walk along Showa-dori to Khyber. An Indian restaurant, where we had… Guess what? Indian food. And talked. And laughed. The food was nice and the company good.

29 Phews and More

Phew, phew, phew… 29 degrees and some more. First really hot day of the year. But I should not complain, it’s better than rain and cold.
