Yes, I did

I went out for dinner with about 20 of the Abbott people. We went to a traditional Japanese restaurant, where we took off our shoes as I sat on this little bitty pillow on a hard bench with my legs down in this very shallow hole (my legs fell asleep) and sat for two hours eating some of the most creative "food" I have ever experienced. Some of it was good; like the fried squid, some was tolerable; like the whole fish (tasted like a whole perch,) some was OK; like the raw fish, horse, shrimp and scallops, and some was horrible, like the raw fish guts. I'll spare you any more details. I just had a couple of Tums and am looking forward to getting some sleep.

I learned the following:

ITADKEMASU means "Let's eat !"
and
HENKO KANRI means "Operating change".

I am open to change, but somewhere there has to be a limit!

Sounds like you've found your threshold. "creative food" - ha! I love it. you've never been a sit-on-the-floor game-player, movie-watcher... I can't imagine you're a sit-on-the-floor raw fish guts-eater, either. The ultimate tums efficacy test. yikes.
