During a Skype video chat with Jenny's class in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago, they caught me eating a small bag or Oreos. They said they *had* to send me something better. So let the world know: I'll work for buscuits :-) Never had these before, but I think they are actually popular among many Japanese as well. Will try them tonight! Thanks, guys, for the cookies (buscuits).

The Naked Presenter arrived today here in Japan

Received a box of Naked books today -- The first time I actually held the book in my hand here in Japan. Took this snap moments ago in my office in Osaka.

Nancy (the publisher) and Karyn (the senior editor) pose with the book back in Berkeley, California at Peach Pit Press a few days ago.

The book (by design) is a bit narrower than the first two books. It's really a good size for the coffee shop or airplane, etc. At 208 pages you could probably read the whole thing flying from New york to LA, and certainly from LA to Tokyo. It will be in stores in a few weeks or so, but is available Dec 3 on Amazon. German and Japanese versions (and others) are in the process of completion and will be out early in 2011.

We just put a few strings out in our yard but it creates a nice atmosphere -- now if we can just get some snow...
