I wonder how you're feelingThere's ringing in my earsAnd no one to relate toExcept the sea

For no apparent reason, I learned to play Show Me The Way on guitar tonight.

(I need one of those mouth-guitar Peter Frampton things. Not just for the guitar, but one that I could walk around with all day.)

I also learned Jack Johnson's, Upside Down, but that was for a reason. It's on the Curious George Soundtrack, which is Aden's absolute favorite album and I told him I would learn it. The album happens to be pretty good, but in the land of children's music, it's probably the best thing since Free to Be.

But that is only an assumption for me, since I have no children. So what do I know, really?



We also watched some Sopranos reruns.

There was also a pork roast, slow cooked in the crock pot all day, so tender that it actually melted on your fork.

Before that, we walked Puck.

There was the gym and some running.

Before that there was the rest of Wednesday.

The new Nine Inch Nails album is good.

We were away for two weeks. That's a long time, innit? It feels like it.

I might buy a bass. Not an electric one, but big acoustic guitar-style. Just because. (see, e.g., "I have no children," id.)

^^I can't get enough of that song, in any form. It is in the Mitten repertoire now as well, except acoustic amd mellow and kind of ... torchy.

Thanks for the tons of nice comments and emails that you have been sending. They inevitably brighten my day, and it makes doing this a little more fun.

Grind it out. The week is almost over.

Tiny bubbles, in my wine

Spent the day maxing and relaxing at the Grand Wailea.





It is difficult to describe the place, but pictures, a thousand words, all that.





There is this one section filled with sculptures by someone named Botero.





I'm guessing he is a chubby chaser.




I had breakfast with Molly, Lucy and Katie.






Later I may stop at Humuhumunukunukupua'a (that is not a typo), the "floating restauraunt," and have Chermoula marinated Shutome Tangine with Plutos, Dried Apricots and Ginger. What in the name of holy hell is that? I'm guessing fish, or some type of tropical jungle pig with a really long nose.




Pat and Joey.



Lucy, Liz and I enjoyed the "2000 foot long riverpool with valleys, waterslides, caves, a rope swing, white water rapids, grottos, a bar, a pool, and a sauna." It made me wish I was 11 years old.



I spent a lot of the afternoon and evening with Dr. Dan, watching the Badgers lose to the Buckeyes. We had a steak at this place nearby. There were a lot of nosejobs, smooth foreheads and surprised-looking eyebrows there.



We had a good time.

Later today, I may leave the resort.


Well, maybe tomorrow.
