HUNGRY GERALD

HAPPINESS. Three Guys from Tokyo —Maiko Sakamoto Freeman (HG/BSK’s daughter-in-law), Haru (grandson), Teru (granddaughter) have joined HG/BSK; Lesley and Massimo R (HG/BSK’s daughter and son-in-law) at the family oceanfront home on the green, peaceful democracy— Prince Edward Island. The home has spectacular sea views and is sited for colorful sunsets. Alas, son Jeremy had to stay in Tokyo to supervise his and Maiko’s busy izakaya—Freeman Shokudo. (world’s best pastrami). Teru has become a beautiful teenager and a star basketball player (Can she become a Japanese-American Caitin?)  Haru is a tall, strong man (big biceps). He is a joy to have around, extremely helpful to old HG (96 in November, hopefully). Yes, Haru is the ideal companion/bodyguard. He is enjoying college and his job at a condiment shop—a place with an international, encyclopedic range of hot sauces. Maiko is as exquisite as always–youthful and beautiful. She is a wondrous chef so the family is in for some culinary pleasures. Miss Jeremy, of course, but the Tokyo contingenent is bringing much joy to PEI.
