Tiki Lives


I would let this go, but. . . yesterday driving I turned the radio on, tuned to the university jazz channel, and a song began to play that sounded like a Martin Deny tune. I looked at the display and read "Watiki 7." That was the band. A bit unnerved by that.

Tiki culture survives!

And so.  

I had to make my own pre-missionary hula dancer in Chat.  She is pretty European, though.  Someone was dallying with the natives.  

That's about "all I got."  Other than the pho I made last night.  Delicious.  Made with the bone broth from the Vietnamese restaurant.  The jalapenos were hot, though, and my mother couldn't eat it.  Said her mouth was on fire.  

I wish I had more to offer, but nothing interesting really happens here in my mother's house.  Am I tired of spending every Friday and Saturday night here with mom?  Spending every single night never going out?  

I don't think I can watch any more television.  I'm nervous, anxious, and, frankly. . . scared.  

"I'm not the man I used to be."

Sure, sure. . . and that may be a good thing.  

And so. . . I'll leave you with music--a live performance of "Adventures in Paradise" by the Watiki 7.  Enjoy.  

"And if I die before I wake. . . "
