Another year has come and gone for me. February 2nd marked mine and Tweety Bird's birthdays. My mom reminded me in the card she sent that I used to think Tweety Bird and I shared a birthday. I have no idea if there is documenation to support this theory but when I was little, it was the truth. I do believe Feb. 2nd is Farah Fawcett's birthday for real though.
The Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Honorable BJ Penn, and the Chief Admiral of the Civil Engineer Corps, RADM Greg Shear, attended my birthday party along with other Admirals and various Captains stationed at Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Japan. If you believe this, of course, then I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you for a bargain. Seriously, Josh and I attended a social function in honor of RADM Shear and Honorable Penn's visit to the Far East. I am sure they had no idea it was my 38th birthday.
After the military social, a few of us went out to participate in Japan's favorite social past time (other than baseball)......KARAOKE! It was a lot of fun. The Japanese do Karaoke the right way. You rent a private room sized accordingly with the number of participants. You sit around and sing all your favorites, order food and drink via telephone AND you get free sodas, tea and ice cream. It was great. Until I get their permission, I won't post the photos of those who got super into their songs and sang and danced in front of the room. I want to thank Aaron and Katsura for putting it all together.
Happy birthday to my niece Hayley on the 10th, my brother Rourke on the 11th and my hubby Josh on the 13th. Josh will be in Tokyo this week attending a conference. He is staying at the New Sanno Hotel, which is a nice place to stay if you are employed by the Government. Ronan and I will go up either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning and spend the evening with Josh on his birthday.
Love to all our friends and family stateside and other parts of this world. Cheers---Kristin
