Whew









From the east, news that Prince Akishino and Princess Kiko have a baby son.
Very important to have an heir to the throne ...

"Following the Feb. 7 announcement that Princess Kiko was pregnant, Prince Akishino and his family had experienced both joyous and anxious days, sources said.

Many magazines published speculative and unsupported articles--on an almost daily basis--regarding the baby's gender, and some reported rumors about arguments within the Imperial household over the issue of Imperial succession."


Almost Gilbert and Sulllivan ...

But now all is peaceful for another generation.
Like I was holding my breath.
