That's a party for Reto (not pictured) but I thought it would include it. Lot's of people and lot's of fun.

Today's hike.

It's been a while but that's what I looked like about 20 years ago. Scary. Very Scary. But I always say have a sense of humour about yourself, because short of Fergie, you are not nearly as good looking as you think.

Matt the Older and Spencer the Younger brother. Both rommates and gigantic.

A hearty good-bye to Eri, the most graceful woman you will ever meet. Go to Youtube.com and search for graduation ceremony, global village. You'll see why.

Magnificent times when we first moved into the house! This is part of that cool, cool night when everything seemed right. There's probably a way to add music to this but I don't know it. If I could, however it would be Allman Bros.

That penguin has been with me for long time. She represents the time I left Asia to live in quasi-Asia...Hawaii. Apparently she was part of a shipment that fell off a truck in Toronto or Montreal. My gangster friends collected the windfall and spread the goodness around the world. She (I ain't got a name for her yet) goes where I go and never talks back. A great companion.

Philip at rest.

This is a bit late, but it is me at St. Patty´s.

Things here is good. I just interviewed for a
full-time position at my job which will make me
overworked and underpaid. I actually interviewed
before but the guy they gave it to is leaving
(back to Oz in fact).

Big Spencer left back to Wisconsin a couple of
months back to do the outdoor leadership course.
However, as soon as he returned he developed a
blood clot in his shoulder which will put the
course on hold for about a year. He is doing very
well, working and living with mum and dad, whom
btw visited about a week ago. And yes, you can
see very easily where Matt and Spencer get their
down home sensibility. Their father, btw, is
taller than Spence.

I was challenged to a fight the other day. My
neighbors fight a lot and the woman kicked the
guy out. I went over to tell him he was making
too much noise and was immediately called some
very naughty names and then came the cliched "You
wanna piece of me.?!?!" I replied, "Sure, come on
over when you're finished moving your stuff out."

Nothing came of it, but it was pretty strange to
see a person so out of control.

Eddy and Kat. Among the best mates anyone could have.

Always have a sense of humour about yourself.

Ramona on her last day at school. Sad to see her go. She practically taught the class for me. I owe her money.

The largest man I know. BB they call him.

Denise and Wim

Roomie, Wimonrat, on the right and her friend.

That's Chere and I at St Patty's day. Ironically the biggest Patty's day celebration in Honolulu is in Chinatown.

How does this shiznite werk??

Just came back from Maui. Funny thing about going to another island is that when you come back you are still in Hawaii.
