It was my oldest sister's birthday yesterday, and we all gathered at her home, after work.
It's been a while since I've seen all my siblings at the same time, and I must say that time passes too quickly.

Hatori's wife looks healthy, and they are already arguing about what to name the child. Kiyoshi brought his boyfriend, and I'm not sure that Chiyo was very happy about that, but at least she did not say anything. It was a good kid. Even Satoshi has a girlfriend now, and he was really happy about it.
Apparently Natsuko is still single, but she's doing very well in school.

Unfortunately Hamori had to leave early, and Hiro only stepped in for coffee.
It's hard to collect the family, and even harder to keep them in one place.
Sometimes I miss the old days, when we all lived together.

Yare, yare... too much family babble.
Today I'm only working to lunch, then I'm leaving to a doctor's appointment... and since they like poking me so much, I believe it will take all afternoon. Damn needles.

Ishida-san, did you get the year-end report I emailed you?
It was acting up a bit, so I'm not sure it was sent.

These rumors are rather worrying. I do not believe them for a second, and it is not right that people are spoken about in this way.

I would request that you please cease to spread these awful rumors, but I also believe in freedom of speech. So I will ask Yamamoto-sama about what is going on.

Perhaps he can shed some light over this mystery, and thus stop the other rumors from going too far.

This weekend, people are coming to install AC in all major offices. Good thing it's on the weekend, so no one is here. Working in construction sounds is not that easy.

On a more personal note; my brother Ha-chan Hatori is having another baby. I swear he is competing with his twin brother 'Mori on who can get the most children. They both have one each, born almost at the same time.
I should send him a card. If they didn't live so far away, I'd visit them.

I also heard Satoshi got a girlfriend now. They all grow up too quickly.
