Wow. That sounds amazing. I was reading and kept hoping to see that you had your camera with you! That 50-ish lady sounds unbelievable. And the cork-filtered browns, they sound like Nat Sherman "Naturals". Look em up and see what you think.
Thanks again! You rule.

> Okay, last week first. I was in a coffeeshop, the town next to where I live. I often go there, and it has a nice mix of female smokers. Just a few days before the sighting I will describe here, I had talked with a hostess (lady who works at a nice bar here in Japan) there. I had seen her several times before, usually with a female friend at the counter that faces the window. That night, she happened to sit next to me. Was busy the whole time on her cell phone and doing her makeup, but finally I had a chance to talk to her just a little. At least, until her next phone call came in. Really nice. Unfortunately, didn’t get to the exchanging names stuff, but I know I’ll see her there again and she’ll say “Hi.” Probably about 30, but could be a little older and just looks younger because of makeup. I told her I was on my way home from work, and she told me she was on her way to work, as I had guessed from her appearance and the time, about 8 p.m. every time I had seen her there.
