Weekend in Hagi

On the weekend, I made the long journey past Hagi to see Starsky’s humble abode in Abu-cho. He and I have been talking about hanging out for many months. It was now or never, so I went. I expected the weather to be poor, but surprisingly, the weather was beautiful near Hagi. Not a drop of rain fell from the sky. This was also the first time I had been to Abu-cho. Starsky’s house was spacious and immaculate. After chatting for a bit, we headed into Hagi and had dinner and donuts with Matt D, Dan, and Rosie.

Cool tofu salad at dinner.

Dan went to watch rugby at a bar and we went to karaoke. Lovely renditions of Hanson, Bonnie Carlisle, Travis, the Fugees, Chicago, etc., were performed.

Wow, we are very red in the face.

Eventually we met up with Dan, Flick, and Jo and her boyfriend, who were also watching rugby. Congratulations to the New Zealand rugby team.

Rosie, thanks for the coffee on Sunday morning. I would not have been a happy camper without it. To Starsky and others, thanks for hanging out; it was a sincere delight.
