My Nana used to tell me that when I was 3, I called her four or five times, just to tell her it was my "birfday." I hope it was all that and then some. Hooray!
Well a very sincere congratulations (I will go and say so myself) to your wife. That is a pretty amazing accomplishment.
I'm a little hazy on the details, but you are going too, no? You could be the Bill Murray from L.I.Translation. Japan really can be a lot of fun. I look forward to going back, and hope that the weekend treats you kids right
