MFHQ MEMO | From Chambana with Love
Without writing a novella about it, we want our dearest readers to understand there is a distinct possibility that C-U Blogfidential summer posting may become a lot more spartan than usual in the coming weeks. Your humble editor’s dear old Ma JaPan has suffered a series of health setbacks since the beginning of February and those resilient Pankokes have a long journey ahead of them to sort through the situation. If we seem to drop off the Confidential cliff for a spell, this is the major reason as to why. We ask you to please have patience with us and keep Ma in your thoughts during this stressful process. Thank you.
