New Hampshire Union Leader Night Editor Sherry Wood spends 10 days in Japan on the trail of the 1905 Portsmouth Peace Treaty.
Yes, I'm on the trail of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty. But I'm also in search of Dice-K, who is pitching for the Red Sox Monday. My assignment? To get reaction in Japan for a story in Tuesday's New Hampshire Union Leader. Will people be watching the game? Are they big fans of Daisuke Matsuzaka? I've been asking university students and taxi drivers and hotel desk clerks. The story is shaping up. And just as I was checking into the Prince Hotel in Nichinan City tonight, the bus for Dice-K's former team, the Seibu Lions, rolled in. It's the minor league team -- the Dice Man played for the major league division -- but it's still the SAME team. Life has a way of curving back in on itself...stay tuned.
