[sumo] A Happy Hatsubasho! to you all.

[Earle Jones]

Abe-san:

Greetings!

I wondered what had happened to you.  I am very happy to hear that you  
are still among the living.  Omedeto Gozaimasu!

During the past few years, several people have asked about you.  Since  
I live nearby, I thought I should dig into the situation and report  
back.

How about we meet for a nice lunch next week and replay some old times.

You must remember the old Toshi-ya restaurant in Menlo Park.  The  
owner has a new place called Kaygetsu, also in Menlo Park, in the  
Sharon Heights Shopping Center.  If you have time, I would like to  
invite you to a lunch there.  (Or some other place, if it's more  
convenient.)

Take a look at:  http://www.kaygetsu.com/intro.html

They have a very elegant kaiseki dinner menu and also a fine lunch menu.

I would like to invite you to either lunch or dinner some time next  
week -- almost any day except Wednesday.  I hope you are available.

I frequently remember the old days in 1981 - 1986 when we worked  
together on the CIC Japanese language dictionary for the handwriting  
recognition project.  I am still in touch with Saiku Masami-san, who  
now lives in Seattle.  Give me a call at 650-854-1489 or email me.

Please let me hear from you!
