I told myself, “That’s one small step for me, and maybe the beginning of one Frog’s Leap for my micro‑business.”
I feel like uncorking a bottle of white wine.

Connections
Ten old friends gathered at a Japanese restaurant in Kagurazaka.
Although they had worked for different companies, they once spent a short period working together in the same place.
Despite the brief time as coworkers, the experience left such a strong impression that they still hold a reunion every year.
We enjoyed dinner together and shared nostalgic memories from our golden days.

I also enjoyed seeing the well‑known oil painting Van Gogh’s Sunflowers.

A broken‑hearted crow roosts in a tree.
