Yesterday was the wife's birthday. We spent a fairly quiet day together, then went to a local highish-end sushi place at her request. We had their omakase, which was not cheap but wasn't overpriced for the quality. The restaurant was crowded even on a Sunday; it's been around for 35 years so it's a neighborhood staple. We quite liked everything and made sure the chef-owner knew we appreciated it.

I'd love to be in a financial space where we could be regulars instead of budgeting for a special occasion. But life isn't convenient that way.
