Mark rode 4km from the 古民家公園 to our house yesterday to meet Lin and see Marble Track 3 in person. He had some great ideas for MT3:

• Encourage teambuilding among youth by giving them a certain set of

track pieces, tools, and time limit to make a track that fits a certain set of requirements.

• Set my camera so the whole set is in focus.
• Add narration or speech bubbles to explain the story in more detail.

There is a morning exercise routine used by Japan to help build community and health and prepare everyone for the day. Even though it has been used in Japan for a minute, it has not spread outside Japan.

Today after SOGO, Menya and Risa led us through the first stages of changing all that. They had multiple cameras and awesome music. Video is coming Wednesday.

woke up late this morning

I usuually set my alarm for 5am on Mondays and Wednesdays so I can leave the house at 5:45am. This morning I turned off my 5am alarm and planned to snooze until my second alarm, but the phone was in silent mode so that alarm did not sound. Fortunately, Lin had set an alarm for 5:35. I had already packed my computer so I got out early enough to catch my preferred train, featuring enough seats that I can sit and write, or snooze, which I plan to do now.
