eep!

The other day as I was closing the sliding doors on our lanai, I heard a little squeal.

I looked down and this guy was squirming between the doors...

（In Japan, our glass sliding doors both move. Unlike the ones I've seen in Hawaii where one moves and the other does not.）

I freaked out and quickly opened the door and he was dazed.

With a stick, I tried to coax him outside.

It took some time to get him outside, and it seems he was okay...whew!

new "roommate"

We have a new "roommate" of sorts...a gecko. In Japanese they call them "yamori" and in Okinawa are considered "omamori" or good luck charms.

I didn't really mind it--we have lots of them in Hawaii, but this guy was HUGE!

I woke Satoshi up so that he could catch it to put it back outside, the gecko leaped at him, which made Satoshi and I scream...

It is still in the house, I wonder if it will do the dishes?
