Sushi

I am quickly writing this post as I got to talking to the owner of a local sushi restaurant, his friend, and a couple of his customers until quite late. I was also plied with saki, which I refused and got the sense I was to him what vegetarians are to French chefs--bizarre creatures who need to join the real world. I didn't mind really as I still found the company good. I have to wonder if they would have been as insistent if I'd lied and said it was my religion not to drink. As I get older it seems I encounter more and more incredulity from people over my decision not to drink.
