Wow. Thank you so much for re-remembering me vis a vis the morning lolcat post! I didn’t consider myself as having significant enough gravitas to bring it up, since I’ve been scarce on the UT lately, but those cute critters really do brighten my day, and I look forward to them, and that you would take time out to not only send me the daily Kitteh once again but to send a separate note along is yet another textbook example of why FReepers rock.

Drove the family and some friends to Chinatown in Yokohama today. We didn’t know until we got there that the area was celebrating the Chinese New Year, and by the time we had completed our shopping, the block where I had parked my car was next on the route for the dragon dance pageantry, and we nearly got trapped by crowd control officials.

Our friends were actually visiting from North Carolina, and I pointed out to them the supreme irony of their having flown all the way to Japan only to end up in Chinatown in Yokohama.

We finished the day with some ribeyes, garlic shrimp and salmon fillets done on the grill. There are worse fates, truly. :)

Thanks again for the Ping and the note.

You’re welcome! Thanks for the report about Chinese New Year in Japan. As you might have guessed from recent posts, North Carolina is having some scenic snow. The catz did not care for it.
