Tony received an email greeting card from his friends Nori-chan, Tori-chan and Niji-chan back in Japan. today is his birthday. according to his "tag" he was "born" on 1/21/96 which makes him 13 years old. actually it is Tori-chan and Niji-chan's birthday also. (and all the other "Nuts" out there)
this is how Tony looked when he arrived
and this is Tony a few days ago with my Mother's dog Buster
and here he is with the dog that followed me back to my Mother's home.
Tony and his shadow on The River Walk
i think you can see from these photos and past photos that . . . Tony leads an exciting life. if you remember there was a time when he had his own website. and then we were told by the company "hosting" the website that he was ... underage. i did not have the heart to tell them that, well, Tony is...not real...ly... as young as he looks. tonikaku, Happy Birthday to Tony and to all who share his birthday.
