Today (Dec.23) is Emperor Akihito's Birthday! So it is a day off for everyone in the Ogino household. I think we might hit the driving range (next door) and get some exercise today.

It's kinda weird having a holiday so close to Christmas, when Christmas isn't a holiday (at least it is on Saturday this year so most of the family has the day off).

Japanese Emperor Akihito is 71 years old today
