holy shit, that is one scary cover photo.

Tomorrow I will work the last night shift in the history of the fishrap all by my lonesome - two days until i become a gentleman of leisure and professional dillettant! Huzzah!
Enjoy the occasion. Our Man means it. He has never looked back since leaving the Daily Gomiuri, well except for remembering all those who never made it out.

Good luck to you.
