The Professor's Triumphant Return

Yesterday, I returned from the Pearl Line Marathon 20k race feeling exhausted. I checked my e-mail as usual and found out some awesome news. Professor Quintana, aka Joe Debiec is triumphantly returning to Kumamoto City! He was a teacher here from 2002-2004 and was an integral part of the Kumamoto Hash scene and just general enjoyment. He is coming from Vail, CO to take a position teaching English at a local language school. He is coming in early April, just in time for Hanami. Kumamoto welcomes back The Professor.

In Joe’s honor, I want to post a fine picture taken after his own Kyokushi Hash in local pub Sanctuary. The title of the picture is Unbridled Debauchery and I think it’s one of the finest shots ever captured with my camera.
