My sanity has been retrieved. For a while, I thought I had lost my mind. Then I saw the eight golden retriever puppies, all furry and beautiful like a gift of the morning, like the sons and daughters of summer. My mind has been goldenly retrieved.

The sake and fine Japanese dining helped a lot too. I am truly grateful to know such wonderful people, and although we stayed up very late, it was all worthwhile.

Afternote: Arsenal beat Hull City 3-1 away, so the night ended perfectly well. Haha!
