Man, did we have fun yesterday. Earlier in the week while having lunch at the Sherlock Holmes Pub in Hachioji, Jody and I had met a British English professor, Marc Sebastian-Jones, who has been in Japan for over 20 years. We had a great time conversing over pints of Guiness and planned to get back together. Yesterday, we met Marc again at the Pub at 1:30 pm. Later, his Japanese wife, Yoshimi, joined us, as did another British professor friend, Jim. I must have had at least 5 pints of Guiness. We left the Pub around 7:00 pm and made our way to Marc's and Yoshimi's home where we dined on pizza delivery from Dominoes and drank red wine. We got home around 10:45 pm and crashed. Man, that was real TGIF. What's great is that Marc is both an English Major and a film buff, like me. He's also wildly irreverant and we're all on the same political page. It's so nice for Jody and me to finally have some friends here as it's been just the two of us since we arrived at Soka U. on April 3. From L to R - Dick, Jim, Jody, Marc, and Yoshimi.
Had a chance to seea copy of Marc's latest editorial work with the professional journal, MARVELS & TALES.
