Are you kidding? And deny myself all that fun? Anyway I’m not scraping. I’m peeling in big, satisfying latex sheets.

Why scrape the paint out, just get a pan liner for about fifty cents and toss after use.

Oh, and by the way, in your copious non painting time, could you flesh out that about page?

We do not like thinking of the ninme as "an example of a WordPress page, you could edit."

I predict that "I'd twitter it" is soon going to replace "I'd hit it" as the sexual code of choice among the something-somethings.

And, DUDETTE, you've got access to a place on Maui and you're going to RENT it out?

DUDETTE...... RE...... GROUP!

MOVE IT ON IN AND STAY THERE!

Peter... does the word "telecommute" have any meaning in your lexicon?

And besides I need a free place to stay when I fly out.

4th Marine Division may well have been the finest bunch of guys ever assembled, but, no disrespect, with that itinerary I think I’d rather have been in the Coast Guard.

Eh, hmm. When you say "government job"...

Pictures are impossible. At least focus in tight on some idegneous rocks for me.

My Dad and I hiked it in '74? He had done it previously when he was in a government job. As part of Dad's job he went from San Diego to Roi-Namur which is a small island in the Marshalls. He was then transfered to Maui. He describes waking up on an assault transport in Lhani Rhodes as maybe the best moment of his life.

It gave him something to live for I think. A good thing since he was going to be visiting (on Uncles dime tho) a few more tropical paradises in the near future.

I am NOT going to hike the crater. I'm going to drive up to it, go "Ooh, a crater!" take some pictures, and drive back down. My kind of outdoor adventure.

The first time I (remember) drove (driving) through a cloud was when I was a kid going up the volcano. We were all SO IMPRESSED by that. I mean, we were DRIVING. Through a CLOUD.
