Umm, Happy New Year?

Don't you hate it when you turn around and realise you haven't updated your blog for a few months?

And there's no good excuse, either. What have we been doing?

Well let's see:
Halloween came and went,
as did Thanksgiving.
Then I had some out of town guests for a few days,
then my birthday,
then Dad's birthday,
and just before Christmas, Kentaro and I landed a ripper case of food poisoning after dining at a local Japanese restaurant. It knocked us both around for a good week or so and ensured that we weren't able to eat a damn thing on Christmas Day, which was a huge tragedy as my parents whipped up their Christmas extravaganza.
Solon and Jess flew in for the festivities and flew out again on Solon's birthday,
New Year's was a complete non-event as we were still feeling under the weather,
and Solon and Jess were kind enough to fly in again just for Kentaro's birthday on Jan 3rd (a very conveniently timed layover on their trip back to Oz after their head-splitting tour of Japan).
And here we are on the 13th and I'm reckoning it was probably the dullest holiday season of all time, much much worsened by the fact that we both worked every bloody day throughout the whole period.

Here's to 2008!!!
