Thanks, Spence! I'm happy I was able to broaden your world with this one. Japanese culture is definitely fascinating.
BTW, while I've yet to get around to reading your blog, I saw in your bio that you were a top-10 HS QB recruit in Texas. I'm a former sportswriter and am fascinated by football culture in the South and Texas (do you consider Texas part of the South?). In fact, I had a really crazy dream the other night about University of Tennessee football culture and woke up and found some books on the topic for my Kindle.
Anyway, a few years back I wrote this wild short story---actually, it's a novelette, which is longer than a short story but shorter than a novella---and one of the characters is a former star HS football player in Texas. It's not really super essential to the story, but when I saw that was part of your bio, I thought I'd share it with you. This is me wearing my fiction writing shoes and I definitely had a real good time writing this one! Please enjoy it if you're interested (you can also listen to me narrate it, something I also love doing).
See you around the meetings!
