Okay, I’m still kind of sick, but not like the other day. Now I’m at a “May Drink Wine” level of sick, which is good because the weather is complete shite and I’m stuck inside this Saturday afternoon when I should really be out frenetically shopping. For an umbrella, at the very least. Anyway.

We bade farewell to my good friend and confidant Den the other day, as he returns to Australia after many years living and working here in Tokyo. He and his family will relocate from the sprawling craziness of Tokyo to cozy, eclectic Byron Bay. I’m sure its the best thing for Den and his family, but for me I’m left with a rather large hole that for all I know may never be filled. Den, my mentor and friend, you’ll be sorely missed.
