Aloha, Friend

Our dear friend Ben flew back to Hawaii on Sunday after a month long visit.  We were sad to see him go but so happy to have a month with him.  Phone calls and text messages just don't cut it once you get to see one of your best friends in person.  PLUS ukelele serenades are pretty cool.

Of course now we no longer get to snicker at complaints about the cold.  No, it's back to hearing about the glorious warm weather and sunny skies.  Recording local musicians, great coffee, and jam sessions on the beach.

But then I can't be too jealous.  I'm sure I'll rub it in plenty when we visit him in the new year.  Love you Ben!

Awwww shucks Cookie thanks, Betty White couldnt have said it better. you know this is a way better troll to see if I'm lurking than the Moron trap. And as an amusing side, after a stressful first Monday back, i did end up playing the ukulele on the beach for sunset. Oh there were clouds on the horizon so i couldn't see it, but there i was, at sunset, bare feet, short sleeve shirt, and Ukulele. I left a bright crescent moon in the sky overhead, crabs skittering about on the beach, and with skin slightly tacky from the salty sea spray blown upon shore by the cooling trade winds. The only thing i was missing was someone there to take a picture. Hey you guys have a camera don't you? I'm sure its in a pocket of one of the many layers you guys have to wear to go out and get the mail. As soon as you find it, come on out, the water's fine!
