Thanks to everyone. Special thanks to UZ, Huma and TLK for this opportunity. There are times when I am going to suffer from foot in mouth disease. So gustakhi maaf everybody. There - I have softened the impact of the inevitable missteps.
The challenge is going to be to have at least one reply per post - that would be one more than my business forum thread. Thankfully, I am off to a rousing start, with 2 replies in the 1st thread started. To the usual suspects - and you know who you are - the check is in the mail. So you got to take turns padding up the reply stats.
Did you know there is a cafe called Redvelvet cafe in Washington DC? From the Smithsonian, when you walk towards China Town, the Redvelvet Cafe appears on right side. Of course, I dont recall the road. When I walked past that cafe about 6 months ago, I thought of you. Hope you check it out when you are in the area.
since your last name is kamikaze (Japanese origion) I added San which is a respectful way to address in Japanese. At least that is what Hattori-san tells me.
