As you will by now be aware, we are honored to be hosting Hanako Murao (Japan Product Manager and Backstreet Boys fan Extroardinaire!) in Kingsburg this weekend.
We are hosting a welcome party/barbeque/Meleena Q&A session from 4pm tomorrow (Saturday) and otherwise showing her what Central Valley life is all about for the remainder of her stay. Importantly, we will also be introducing her to Cornflake and Miko and seeing if she can help with the recent discipline/hunting issues that we have been experiencing.
Sayonara for now!

London Bumpkin
Met up with Mum and Dad for dinner tonight and went to this restaurant for good, rustic English food. Dad and I each had the Chicken Hot Pot and Mum had Lamb - all of which was yummy. Perhaps we'll take future travelling companions there for a meal if we have enough time. www.bumpkinuk.com
I took Mum her not-available-over-the-counter-in-the-UK bottle of Melatonin and Dad got his Japanese birthday-card-that-had-been-sat-in-my-travel-case-for-7-weeks-since-just-before-his-birthday. Better late than never I say.
Before dinner I had spent a long day talking about next week's product launch, headed to Moss Bros. on Regent Street to try on the suite that Neil and Maya want me to wear at their wedding and then crossed over the road to Zizzi's (used to be the Virgin Megastore) on Piccadilly to spend a fortune on only-available-in-the-UK CDs.
Off to bed now as it's an early start for me in the morning.
Btw - I apologize for the extensive use of hyphens as a technique to exaggerate my prose. I can just hear Michelle curse my bad form when she reads this post. I-am-so-very-sorry-can't-seem-to-stop-even-though-I-know-I-should...

Serial Killers
I am sad to say that in the last 24 hours there have been two more avian murders on 12th Avenue. We woke up this morning with the perpetrators snuggling warmly against our legs as usual, only to find a corpse on the carpet by the patio doors. This was in addition to the fresh kill Cornflake proudly brought to my office yesterday afternoon while I was performing a telephone interview with a potential candidate. And in addition to the several hand-sized moths that have been carried in their mouths into the house for playing with in the past week.
We will be sitting them down later today and explaining that such actions are abuses of the cat-door privileges we gave them only last year.
UPDATE: Since my initial post earlier this morning we have made yet another gruesome discovery - a deceased bird is right now laying next to my shoes in our bedroom. That brings the tally in the last 24 hours to 3. And having cleared up the blood from the floor tiles near the kitchen from the first find this morning, we have since realized that there blood splattered up the wall in our family room and on the carpet. Something will have to be done.

Crystal Skull
Here's one of Jim's suggestions for an anniversary gift.
Oh, and in anticipation of the flood of suggestions we may receive from nieces and nephews once they get out of school today I've created a special category on the Flickr site for any suggestions.
The gates are open. Let the flooding begin.

15th Anniversary
As many of you are aware, this week Michelle and I are celebrating our 15th Wedding Anniversary.
According to the research Michelle did the other day, the traditional gift for reaching such a milestone is something made of Crystal. The modern alternative is a watch.
I have to admit to not really knowing what to do with that information. Do you think Michelle was dropping hints about what she might like as a reward, I mean gift?
