Quote for the Day:
Radio Announcer: FDR is in the White House, an ice cream cone costs a nickel, and a hot new tune by Benny Goodman is hitting the charts. The year is 1939.
Homer: 1939!?! Oh, my God, I've gone back in time! I've got to warn everybody about Hitler -- and get to the ice cream store!
Lenny: Hey, Homer, what's all the hubbub?
Carl: Let me guess. You travel back in time again?
Homer: Shut up! You haven't even been born yet!

The Grand Tour of Kyoto · Tuesday June 13, 2006
Last weekend, Kaori and her cousin Akiko came from Tokushima to visit Kyoto. We did the grand tour, visiting Yasaka Shrine, Maruyama Park, Chion-in, Kenninji, Kiyomizudera and Fushimi-inari. We had dinner at a beer garden on a hotel, and had lunch at a 400 year old noodle restaurant. Overall, quite a good time.
