I am back at Christina's again for a bit. I am helping her pack as she is moving to the mainland at the end of the month. She has a good start on things, but there is a lot to be done still. Boring stuff I won't write about. I had quite a few adventures over the last month or so. On mother's day we had a cookout at Old A beach. It was nice. Dysfunctional family is the best description, given by Guy. Everyone drank and ate and was merry. We had 2 Moms present most of the day, Vikki and Lena. It was also Guy and William's birthdays (or at least a day or 2 close). I chipped in the last 15 bucks I had and a small bit of weed. They had a full BBQ going, skewers with meat, shrimp, veggies, and pineapples galore. When in Rome... so I had some meat. It didn't agree with me, but I had a good time. Played at soccer off and on all day. Pulled a leg muscle, and then another one (abdomen) yesterday as I climbed the tree right out of my hammock, dumb move.

I had a "run in" with an older local who told me I couldn't camp where I was b/c it was a county park. I knew this, but I was out of sight and very few, if any, people came that way. The only ones I did see were the people camping deeper in, John, Vikki, Louis, and William. Anyway, he 'scolded' me in a not so harsh was, and on is way out he said I could camp as long as I wanted on the other side of the fence. I wasn't far from it and thought I wasn't allowed to cross it as it was land for Hawaiian Children. There is a camp, real nice one I stayed at once and got scolded, again not harshly, ages ago when I first got there. Anyway Norman, the local, says it is partially his land (in a trust) and that it was MY LAND ALSO! This is a HUGE compliment coming from a local to a Haole (white person) like me. I moved as he requested and found 2-3 even better, in some ways, sites. It is funny how Hawaii leaches you lessons with love and not harshness. So many times has this sort of thing happened, both directly to me and stories I've heard.

Also got my USB cord for the Zune Brent gave me. It is real nice, but the software it uses really stinks.

Lauren called the other day. Her Grandpap is very sick and looks to be dieing. The story is very sad and since it isn't mine I won't share it here. Suffice it to say, as sad as that situation is, I was glad to hear from her. She mentioned coming to visit and that stoked me for sure. Also congrats to her for graduating. School sucks. That is a big accomplishment in my opinion.

Well, Zen just woke up so I am going to go deal with that. I'll write more some other time. Seems he is the center of the world when he is around. I am taking it as either training or a lesson... or both.
