2018 New Balance

248

yesterday, we paddled out at dark and was the first ones in the ocean. the 5 of us pretty much caught every single wave that came through. it was like a dream morning session with the ocean to ourselves. came in at 8:15, dropped off the Okinawa girls and boys, then went home to grab my backpack.

then at 10:30am, i was on an international flight. don’t ask me how i made it, but somehow i managed to. sat back, watched a movie, and enjoyed my dessert.

arrived in Japan at 4pm, and couldn’t believe the sun was setting already? really?

there’s a deadly flu going around so i have to protect myself. this is the best way.

arrived in Tokyo at 5:30pm. Inaida-san was finishing up his massage, then Katsura-san went to work on my tired body. in just 5 minutes, i was feeling 10 years younger. oh, it hurts so good!

at 6pm, we were sitting front row at the best sushi bar in the world.

the o-toro or fatty tuna is my favorite. when i put this in my mouth, it made my long journey worth every minute.

and always having lots of laughs with Inaida-san and Yuki-san. it’s amazing how we have to much to talk about. there’s never a dull moment…

came back home and started the fire.

sipped on fine whisky, had a fine talk, and ended a fine day. thank you Inaida-san for the fine Memories!

as for the start of 2018, it’s going right on track. work hard, and play harder is still my motto. life is short so may as well enjoy it while i can. the rest of this year will be kind of like this, making more Memories. anyway, i woke up at 2:30am but so what? i’m enjoying this jet lag to the fullest…
