A Sorrowful Loss

It's been a while... Sorry. Here's a quick sample of the things I've done since my last post:

1.Visit California
2. Visit the San Diego Zoo
3. Qualify as a Navy sharpshooter
4. Jump from an airplane at 13,500 feet
5. Surf a lot

oh, yeah and...

7. LOOSE MY RED SOX HAT.

All of the cool things I've done in the past couple of weeks have been overshadowed by the loss of my beloved Red Sox hat. I feel powerless to fight the Evil Empire (i.e. Yankees) without it. The worst part is I can't seem to replace it anywhere. The whole time I was in California, I looked for one, but I could only find totally unacceptable "one size fits all" versions. These are for lesser fans, I need the faded cotton fitted one with big "B" in the front and the two red socks in the back. The haunting part of this loss is that I know exactly where I lost it. In theatre 6 of the East Bolden Cinema, just after the 9:42 showing of Hot Fuzz (which wasn't nearly as funny as Shaun of the Dead). I've been trying online to get a new one, but I can't get one shipped to England, much less to the ship. So if any one that happens to read this and pities me for my loss, you can send me a hat from lids (size L) to:

Justin Ray
Mercy Ships Africa Mercy
c/o: Port of Bylth
Wimbourne Quay
Northumberland NE29 3PB UK

Come on, you know you don't like the Yankees.
