We're getting to spend some time today with friends who have been living overseas for a couple of years now during their once-a-year foray back to the States from Japan. We're all set with some goodies for the grill, and in a nice stroke of luck, are enjoying what is supposed to be the normal weather for this time of year, with temps in the low 80s for what seems like the first time all summer.
