Heeeeellooooooo, this is Froggie, or Kodaiko, 2 years and 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 2 days old. You know, I’m getting older and older. But Grandpah and Grandmah say I’ve got naughtier and naughtier recently. I don’t know! Keekeekee.

Anyways, San Francisco trip. Although Grandmah’s conference at SF Marriott started from Thursday the 6th, we decided to attend from Friday the 7th. Grandmah had to join a presentation by her Tokyo Univ team. Yes, Gagabee’s mom and Ishigami-sensei also came from Tokyo! It was truly nice to see those familiar faces. Although Grandmah had a lunch and meeting with them, I walked around the conference with Naomi and Mei-yu separately. I was looking for a session about fruits, but I couldn’t. Bummer. In the future, I should apply for the presentation to talk about fruits. This conference is for Asian studies, so our panel will deal with Asian fruits. I will be a chairman, and a presenter. I want to talk about my dissertation topic (Babylonian fruits). I will ask Gagabee to talk about Thai fruits, and my advisor Naomi to present Hawaiian fruits. Grandmah will be a discussant. We will show many fruits pictures on PowerPoint. I have to ask Grandpah to create a punk slides. Hmmm, I can’t wait! Excitement for study, passion for fruits. FG’s Fruits.

Fruitfully,
