I couldn't make this up.

For two mornings in a row I found a voice message on my work phone from a very polite realtor looking for Mr. Yu. The realtor had an English accent and was calling from Hong Kong. His second message had a sense of urgency, so, using the clues he left I tracked him down on Internet and emailed him to try another number.

The name of his firm? Ka Man Properties. I'm not kidding.

I related this to a couple OlyBlog docents and they pointed out "I" was missing from the blank space in Ka Man, and, the realtor was looking for Yu. Gulp!

As an aside, "caiman" in German is "kaimane." Considering the history of caimans and OlyBlog, I highly doubt this whole episode is "coincidence."
