It's a Red Letter Day

Okay, I don't really know what that expression means, but in my mind it carries the excitement I feel is due to today's event (trumpets blare):

the ukoke laid their first egg today!

(here I am pausing to let the applause die down)

These are very fancy eggs from very fancy chickens...evidently we know someone who sells them for 500 yen each. Perhaps tomorrow we will have the gumption to eat our new fancy egg.
