It was a cloudy day, rain blanketing the region in patches, I left just after 0700 to meet my lovely friend Shannon in an attempt for a hike, we didn’t go but ended up spending the day catching up.

This man lives and breaths the call of the wild, after sending him a message over the internet he was kind enough to respond and meet up.

The man, the myth, Kenji.  I am very excited about this climbing partnership and can’t wait for the adventures that await.

Omakase sashimi at my favorite place Yanagi Sushi, they almost know my name there.  I can still taste the buttery salmon and maguro.
