Timing

It figures I would be out of town when Princess Kiko finally decided to give birth to a baby boy, the first male heir to be born in the Imperial family in 41 years. I'm in Amsterdam on business, otherwise I'd be out there on the streets of Tokyo with everyone else, smashing store windows and overturning cars in celebration. Banzai!

Update:
It has come to my attention that my reports of rioting in the streets of Tokyo may have been greatly exaggerated. I regret the error.
