You’re Welcome, Kenji

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

I don’t often look at the stats for my blog, but I did today, and I see that Kenji in Toronto is using the photo of my last batch of sushi for his YouTube background image.

The last time I met a person named Kenji, he tossed me around a dojo like I was a rag doll. (No, these two Kenjis aren’t the same person.)

Maybe you don’t know this, Kenji, but every time someone views your YouTube site, you consume bandwidth I paid for, because your background is a link to a picture on my site of the last batch of sushi I made.

You’re welcome to it, and I appreciate the compliment demonstrated by your link.

Kenji, the most important thing you can do in your life is this: relentlessly pursue what makes you happy, with one caveat: don’t interfere with anyone else’s pursuit.

My wife and I made some sushi last week.

Sushi

It’s a hell of a lot of work, but it’s fun and delicious, even if the rolls don’t turn out perfectly round and symmetrical. That’s about 2/3 of what we made that night. We didn’t make anything with raw meat because it won’t keep for more than a day. Making your own has some benefits, though, like varieties you can’t get at any sushi place, such as: bacon & egg, ham & cheese, or beef jerky. (We didn’t really make beef jerky sushi, but I may some day.)
