08:10 Tsutsumi-sensei has left the tea ceremony set on my desk: a chasen, a tea scoop, and a tea caddy.
08:30 Hand back tests and show American commercials to san-nen-sei English course. Rachel sits in on the class.
11:30 Rachel and I escape from school.
11:50 Go to Toyomi's to buy lunch including some umeshu which I let Rachel try while we finish watching the Lost Boys.
15:30 ESS club watches The Yellow Submarine. I miss Nakatomi-kun. Only Sato Hiroko comes from ichi-nen-sei. Nakayama Etsuko remarks on the noise of the cicadas.
17:30 Wash dishes and do laundry while the sun shines. Work up nerve to call Maki-sensei to confirm that class is on for tonight.
19:06 Take train from Kamegawa to Beppu. Meet Maki-sensei at Beppu Station.
21:00 Watch the Wednesday night movie: Kramer vs. Kramer. It is the first time I've seen it all the way through. I saw the last ten minutes or so on TV in Austin. The subject of custody is still too painful. I cry and cry. But I will see my own little boy in two and a half weeks. Just a few days more really.
