About
I happen to be a fan of the Chicago Cubs baseball team. And this year, we have a player on the team from Nagoya, Japan. He played with the Chunichi Dragons. So… hey! Please wait a few minites! (that last sentence is a direct quote from Hiro) I have a great friend who lives in Nagoya! So, I called in a favor. It went like this:
Me: I am writing to tell you Kosuke Fukudome from Nagoya, Japan is the number 1 baseball hitter on the Cubs! He is a very good and great baseball player. He is doing very well in Chicago! He is on base almost every time and is very good in the field catching the baseball. OH!!! And he has all his hair!!! Not like you! May I ask you a great favor? Is there any way you could find a Chunichi Dragon baseball hat for me? I know they play in Nagoya and Fukudome played with that team. I will send you the money for the hat and for shipping. I have tried to find a Dragon hat here but they are very very very very hard to find.
Hiro: Please wait a few minites. Right now, I am looking for a cap the Chunichi Dragons wore in their camp in the Spring of 2008. I will send you that if I get find that.
(A few days later Hiro wrote)
Hey! Rise and shine! Dense and thick head... Are you the LAZIEST BALD BAKA in the world? Yes? Oh... crazy.. Listen to me turning out your dirty TIN EARS. Right now, I get a hat the Chunichi Dragons presented to their fans at camp of Okinawa in 2008. A hat maker is Mizuno which produces many clothes for Olympics. Mizuno produces many wear for golf also. It is very famous company. I cannot take you it by car. So in a few days, I will send you it by mail. Wait cleaning a BALD PATE! KeKeKeKeKeKeKeeeeeeeeeeeee

And when the package arrived… I had food, and a badge… and boodle!!! From Japan… and a hat from the Japanese baseball team the new Chicago Cub player used to play for. It was marvelous. I happened to be wearing that hat today as I stumbled across some kind’a contraption that is a cross between a motorcycle/car/camper(caravan). The fella was kind enough to allow me to do a hat shot with his ride.
And yes… I sent Hiro a ton of American boodle in return. I love that man.
In all the whisping, wafting, wandering ways of the internet... Hiro and I have connected... Yeah, it is quite the story... and a lot more. I do believe that if I were stranded in Japan, Anywhere, Japan: Hiro would drive/fly to any place I was and help me out. Did I mention that I love that man?
