Well I haven't been able to get through to wish my nephew happy birthday, and his birthday, even in this time zone, is about to be over. Bummer. Having Skype set up is well and good but if the other end doesn't go online you're right where you started. Disappointed Miru-kun (above), my official birthday wisher (in years past I always sent a picture with him as a greeting), is all dressed up with nowhere to go! We'll keep trying... If only laptops were flying carpets!
