It has been almost two years since I saw my parents. I saw my cousin last year when he decided to celebrate New Year's in New York but my actual parents, not since I flew out to San Jose to see them. Otousan was in town for a conference last summer but didn't tell me until he was back home
Well, both my mother and my father will be in town the 26- Jan 2 and they demand family time. I knew this much. I could do that. I was going to make them a meal at least one night. Do the tourist thing. Maybe see a couple of shows. Okaasan said she got tickets to Wicked for the 28th.
Otousan e-mailed me this morning indicating on New Year's Eve he and okaasan will be attending some High Class Benefit Ball. The some of the top CEOs, industrialists, politicians, and philanthropists of the world will be there. The Theme is Technology Will Mold The Future or something trite like that. And my name is now on the guest list. I tend to not particularly like these sorts of things. I've attended many in my childhood. I went through a week of ballroom dancing classes when I was 13 for that reason. I consider that to be a different world from where I ended up.
Life of a G-Man is somehow more satisfying than one of an heir and future joint-CEO. I feel my responsibilities mean something now. And now it feels like I'm going back to that old life, even if it is for just an evening.
Anyways, okaasan JUST e-mailed me the invitation which dress code is to be highly formal. So I may have to go out and buy something new. And then, she told me who would be there and focused heavily on the single women who are my age that I may want to "get to know". I suppose I will go, ask a few of them to dance to get them off my back and then excuse myself and ask the driver to take me home. I can't stay up past midnight anyway.
Katsumi, if you'd like, you can come over to my apartment and view the First Sunrise from my balcony. It has a nice view.

Tech people... it's like since they don't have the social graces to have a significant other or certain "equipment" to brag about, they brag about what they know about security systems instead, even if it is a violation of policy. I don't think he knew I was even purposely using questioning techniques to get him to confess to it.
Anyways, I know how to exploit the security system at the museum.
