thank you Ozaki-san for the treats from Osaka! i have lots of time to drink and eat!!! and and was happy to learn about your business “Marukame.” had a great time with your twin sister Hirano-san and Taki-san. hope to surf with you guys again soon! had a great time surfing this last days at Rockpiles when i was injured. never got to stand up, but still got some awesome views… locals surfing here every single day. and locals surfing super good every single day. good to see Tommy out there too. even he saw the Japanese guy out in the ocean struggling to get in. so when he caught his last wave in, he said “Kirby, keep your eye on that guy.” wow, thanks Tommy. i wish you would have gotten him. haha. found this cd in my closet i bought in Japan over 20 years ago. Kalapana singing all the Southern All Stars classics… i use to listen to this cd every single day when i use to travel in Japan.my favorite song was Miss Brand New Day! everyday is a Brand New Day!
