Ok, let me pull away from my fixation to Ciffy's Transvestite friends for a moment, and offer a few rushed, poorly thought-out words for the holidays.
If there has been any year where I could definitively say that I learned anything, 2005 would come very close to almost nearly cracking the top 10. More than any other year, my family and I have had more than enough reasons laugh, cry, celebrate, mourn and appreciate the ones we are close to. Grandma and Auntie Nora have been missed as much as they are loved, and while their passing has cast a grey shadow over the holidays this year, we all know that the best way they would have us remember them would be to imagine how thrilled they would be at the changes our family has seen and looks forward to.
Changes, you say? Oh this year has seen a couple. Kotomi and my wedding this August was long and hard in the planning and prep, but we pulled it off to the delight of our guests. It was everything we hoped it would be -and more - and we have you all to thank for your support and warm wishes. Arigato.
Next, the autumn of 2005 was a dark, cold, pukey one, but we kept a flicker of excitement burning for the day when Kotomi's morning sickness would finally pass and we could both look forward to the birth of our son/daughter next May. Hama-chan, as we affectionately call him/her, has filled us with giddy joy, and we know that nothing would make us happier than to have a safe, simple birthday next Spring. Please stay tuned to this Blog for all of Hama-chan's latest news and updates.
Lastly, I know it has been another year of NOT seeing most of our viewing audience in person, but as you can plainly see, the new version of the Pike family is comfortable and extremely happy. My only non-family-centered wish for next year would be the chance to meet you all at least once again, and with the kind help of Canada Customs and Immigration, we just might get that chance. A very peaceful and prosperous New Year to you all!!
Love,
Scott, Kotomi and Hama

I have nothing so interesting as a blog to offer, but I can give the Pikes and the seed of Pike the most sincere and heartfelt "HAPPY NEW YEAR" known to the blogosphere. Peace, Love, and Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt. Arigato.
