I'll be returning to Japan from October 17th 2003 to October 30th 2003. My Hanshin Tigers are in first place this year [at the time I'm writing this they're 17.5 games ahead of the 2nd place team] and I think it's safe to say they're going to make it to the Japan Series and win it for the first time since 1985. And when they do there's gonna be one hell of a Hanshin celebration that I don't want to miss.

So if you're in Japan and reading this and want to meet me when I come back to Osaka, send me an e-mail at: phillosaka@hotmail.com

I wont have a phone number while I'm over there so if you want to get a hold of me, you're going to have to do it via e-mail and it's better to set things up before I leave.

In the meantime keep cheering for the Tigers and get that Dotonbori River nice and clean for me. Cause when the Tigers win this time I'm not going to let any curse of Colonel Sanders hold em down. I'll be going for a swim.

GO TIGERS!
NEVER NEVER NEVER SURRENDER!
