Super Rashi! In Japanese means Wicked Good-(Thursday)

I spent the day doing work from room and nursing my vaguely irritated sinuses. I went to sushi-go-round at the Daiei station with Chaplain Ross and we had a great time eating lots of different kinds of sushi and chatting about life, religion, calling etc.

This evening, Ben, Ashley, Rachel and Gus Bennet from the USS McCain (Ben's Ship) and I all went out to the "great Thai restaurant." Everyone raves about it and for good reason. It's the one across the street from TGIFridays (always a good reference point) and around the corner from the Yakotori stand where you can fresh off the grill chicken innards (mmmmm).

It was, as always, a magnificent adventure. Just watch the video...


For dessert we had pink and green. They tasted like pink and green...these are liquid cups with little seeds (something like black sesame seeds suspended in jelly) and tiny ice cubes.

Several times over dinner someone exclaimed, "What am I eating?" Mostly it was me.



After, we went to the Chu Hai stand for some Chu Hai which is a drink made from sho chu (a rice liquor) with ice and flavored with one of 31 syrups. We had coconut, pulum (plum) Culumberry (Cranberry) and blueberry (blueberry) :) They were yummy. It seems like a very Japanese scene. You stand at the stand because you cannot walk around with drinks, hang out and have your chu hai.

And now, here I am, back in the Q




Tomorrow is the big day-Erev yom kippur.
was feeling complacentI think I am ready to conclude the interim days of the High Holy Days. I about where I am in my life and then one good conversation with Andrew later and I feel effectively (as in the conversation had a big effect), powerfully, profoundly and thankfully turned upside down and more aware than ever of the work I need to do to move my self ahead towards being a better human being. Thanks, Honey, as always!
