Taken in December 2007.

Does anyone else notice that it looks like Kim Jong Il was just cut and pasted into this new picture?  Further leads me to believe that he did not survive his stroke or is in much worse condition than the North is willing to admit.

Rupert lives in a posh studio apartment.  It smells like Kimchee and Old Spice, the Old Spice was my touch.  He appreciated it.  Even though he’s Korean he’s one of the few who knows Kimchee is icky.

He’s not like his American, Mexican or Japanese cousins – his serial number is a mystery.

Rupert and I love to hang out and sing songs, in this picture I was teaching him the solo to “Let it Be” – we laughed a lot when we realized I only remembered the first half off the top of my head.
