Kai and Maria in Denver, Mike Rennovating

Kai and Maria spent Thanksgiving in Denver with her folks and her sister Yoko. I was supposed to go too, but I came down with a nasty flu before my flight was scheduled to leave, and I didn’t feel well enough to travel (her dad is ill, so it wouldn’t have been good for me to be around him anyway). They had a really good visit. Kai particulary enjoyed riding James’ mini-bike (James is Yoko’s boyfriend) - see the video below.

I was down and out for about 36 hours, and then I felt unreasonably good. I still had another day and half before Maria and Kai came back, so I got a lot done on our 3rd floor rennovations. I built a closet in the room that will be our new bedroom (this is an old house, and they didn’t build closets in bedrooms in the old days) and ran new electrical lines. I still have to finish tearing out the highly flammable particle board walls. Once that’s done the drywallers can come put up the new walls.
