It’s Tuesday morning, the temperature outside a lovely 19.5°C. And I’m inside staring at the calendar in a mild state of shock and awkward panic: only 53 days in 2010. Oh. My. Godzilla.

I’m not sure about you, but that doesn’t seem enough time to get done all things upcoming (and still haven’t done) I so desperately need to do. So I’m making a list and checking it twice – nay, thrice – in a shaky attempt to feel productive.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, the 10th: Dentist! 2/6 visit. Also, order some lager yeast and a new bottling wand. Don’t forget to visit the bank, post office, and Tokyu Hands, too.

Sunday, the 14th: Bottle 20L of my Nut Brown Ale v2.5, then off to Nakameguro Taproom’s “Falling for Brew” event. Afterward, dinner with the wife in Chinatown, Yokohama.

Wednesday, the 17th: Brew 20L of Export Pilsner. Decide whether or not I can attend the Japan Beer Times “Dachambeer” event. Dinner with Family, Inc.

Sunday, the 21st: Personal deadline for 年賀状 (Nengajō, Japanese New Years cards). Must. Get. Them. Finished! Ack! Wife’s birthday in less than two weeks! Have to buy tickets for the Ghibli Museum ! (She’d better not be reading this!)

One-month countdown to Switzerland: So much shopping for Winter wear yet undone, as well as double-checking lists of magic shops and breweries I plan to visit. Am I forgetting something? Probably. What!?

Birthdays, check. Medical insurance premiums, check. What is it I’m forgetting?

Only a week left in November; hulloa boys, hulloa boys, better remember!
