In honor of her 29th birthday, I dedicate today's posting to my most loyal reader...Lori Davis. I can't believe it's been 8 years since I was able to witness her 21st birthday as her roommate at Ole Miss. Lori has been the provider of many laughs and shenanigans and as such, she did not falter while I was visiting in Japan. This is my favorite picture of her taken while I was there. Through her guidance and wisdom, we ventured into a Maid Cafe where I experienced first hand modern Japanese culture...kitty ears and all!

She has always been an advocate of foolishness and as my tour guide, she never disappointed in finding the most random and interesting people and things to encounter during my stay. My trip would not have been as entertaining if she had not been there. So even though I'm not there to witness yet another birthday (or hold the puke bucket), I know she will have the happiest of days!! Kampai Haro Kitty!
