A Very Special Lady

we went to 53 By The Sea last night to celebrate Atsuko-san’s special birthday. Atsuko-san has been a huge part of my life ever since the day i went to wakayama years and years ago. she’s always given me good advise, always cooked me good food, and always treated me like family. her and Kimura-san take care of me, are kind to me, and support me 100% in anything i do. it’s because of people like this i’m living the wonderful life i do. so i was super happy to have celebrated Atsuko-san’s special day last night. congratulations and wish you a wonderful year ahead!

yes, Kimura-san and Atsuko-san have been feeding me for years. in japan, and even in hawaii. look what they brought for me!!! LUCKY ME!

and some sweet sake to go down with all the seafood. kanpai!
winds should be backing off this week so expect some epic north shore surf. my body is finally feeling better from my crash down 2 days ago. i think once i enter a big tube, i’ll be back to my normal 100% genki power. see you in the water.
