Tokyo is hotter then July in Hell's kitchen. The humidity is not to be believed, it's not a dry heat as Midwesterners like to point out. Lovin this city though. They sent me here because the level of sarcasm in the Tokyo office needed a boost, and to let them know that Domestic Support in NY rules. It seems there might have been doubt, it's my job to squash all opposition, that done I'm to set up a puppet management team under John Modica's rule.

I would cancel all big events especially if free alcohol is present, unless you want to tempt fate as John did. Look what happened to him, sad really. Accidental you may say. I don't think so! Beware of large parties and gatherings in Essien's absence! Check with your local clergy or Dan Stocker.

Alive and well and living in Tokyo Essien

It's an omen, never have a party with Essien out of town. Some have to learn the hard way. Have to say I told you so.

Essien Alive and well and living in Tokyo.
