The Christening

In anticipation of Greg's arrival, Alpha's office finally gets cleaned (hee, hee). And the sofa gets made into a bed. And Mom's quilt comes out. And then you get me looking absolutely adorable! Check out those folded ear tips. No hanky panky here -- I did this myself, after thoroughly snortling on the bed. Here let me show you:


First you gots to check out the comfy bed.


Then you gots to do a froggy leg rotate (always to the right) on the bed.


And finally, a vigorous snortle and roll. That's how you get flipped ear tips.

OK Greg, bed is now ready for you (hee, hee).

Greg's Arrival

Woah. Stop the presses again!

Greg has arrived! And just barely -- it took him almost 24 hours of travel, just coming from New England. First he was delayed by the volcanic ash cloud, and because of the delays, he missed his connection, but finally he's here! Woo hoo!

I got two separate trips to the airport, and got to stay up late to greet him. I was very excited.

Welcome home Bro' ('cause home is where the heart is ;-)

Well, will you look who arrived?

After 36 hours in transit! Fortunately, she made it out of Atlanta before the nor'easter hit.

And let me tell you, am I the best welcoming party or what?


Yeah, I had to tell Alli a secret when we got home. I had to tell her how much I missed her.

After all, she's my girl!

Last Dance

Well, well, it certainly has been a long time.

Since we last spoke, both Greg and Alli have visited me in Germany -- woo hoo! In fact, Alli just left after spending about 6 weeks here while on break from Chaminade. That's the reason for the blog title. This photo was my "last dance" with Alli before she left on her 25-hour trip back to Honolulu.

And not only that, it was the last photo before Alpha's nice Nikon camera bit the big one. Here's what a photo later that day looked like. Oops.



We stopped into a camera store in Stuttgart and learned that the camera's sensor is "kaput". It will cost as much to fix it as to replace the camera. So that will have to be a task for the future.

But fear not! Alpha took so many pictures during my absence from Frito-a-Day, that we'll just make him work backwards to show you some of the cool things I've been up to.
