I've noticed that solicitousness in my son, and it's sort of endearing. Glad you were able to share a nice evening out together.

Forget that they were responsible for the recovery after the war ... that they worked and scratched, having little, to rebuild the country.<br />"senior seats" on the train go to the pushiest and fastest. Thursday when I rode, three of those seats were taken up by a young guy sprawled across them asleep. An article in the newspaper ... front page ... was about a plan to move all those old people outside the city because they were taking up space where young folks could be living.<br />The "senior driving test"is a humiliation ... we are dangerous because we are old ... forget about those 20-something kids who ran into my stopped car because they were texting instead of watching where they were going. Maybe it is just Japan though. Sounds like some in the states have learned manners.Julie Fukudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704374750710761269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-29817735807381999412015-12-13T20:08:49.957-06:002015-12-13T20:08:49.957-06:00LOL.
