2008 So far Well, it's only March, and already everything has changed since the beginning of the year. My company, Normal, evolved from a yugengaisha (Company Limited) to a Kabushikigaisha (Corporation). I finally earned my Japanese permanent residence status, and of course, Nico arrived. ![]() Nico came home from the hospital this week, perfectly timed with Madoka's 40th birthday. ![]() So far it's been a good year |
