Anniversary

Lunched alone on my wedding anniversary - Vivian was in Yokohama.

It's a small Italian restaurant at Fortress Hill. Vivian and I used to come very often. The risotto and pasta are second to nowhere, and the place is often half empty during weekend.

For some time we worried whether this little shop could survive - the chef seemed to be satisfied with the current status and the boss had no intention to expand. By some coincidence I found that it runs a horrifying business on weekday - full of office ladies hurrying for lunch. That's why the boss - and chef - could afford doing whatever they enjoy the rest of the time.

Yes, it needs usually more courage to focus on the present and do away with the temptation of conquering more.

At least it is a cut higher than Sisyphus.
