SITREP 2008-02-06 (another movie)

Forward Operating Base - Dublin
February 6, 2008, Ryan is 3 months old today.

Riko spent more time at the Japanese embassy. We're doing what we can to get Ryan triple citizenship. The Japanese component is proving a little tricky because we didn't amend the Koseki.

A Koseki is a sort of official family tree document, near as I can figure, and it's best to have that squared away at marriage. We didn't. Who knew?

He's got Irish citizenship already and so should have the right to work and own property anywhere in the EU. We'll be setting him up with US citizenship and a passport pretty soon.

The goal of getting him Japanese citizenship is simply to give him every possible option. Who knows? Forty years ago they thought nuclear power was the future. Thirty years ago we were facing devastating global cooling. Twenty years ago the Japanese were going to own America. Ten years ago they thought... well who cares what they thought?

In 2008 nuclear power is back. Therefore 2028 is the year of the Japanese.

Anyway, I've added a new, brief video to the previously posted album. Just click below and look for the new thing.

This guy is starting to look like a little boy and not a baby anymore. College fund ready yet? He looks like Harvard material to me.
