We're in Chicago. Next stop, Albany. Kid behind my wife kept kicking her. Old man in front either passed massive amount of gas or maybe crapped his pants. I watched a movie.

I may have sprained the hand besides burning it. It hurts more than a bit.

I did have it looked at. Everyone at the reunion looked at it. My wife, her aunt, my kids.
I was walking outside with a really big thing of homemade baked beans, right out of the oven after being slow baked for a few hours.. I'd never been there before. When you come down the stairs, they have it paved in stone, but there's an area that isn't and has bushes and stuff. I tripped there and went down hard. I hit the stones, my hand got covered with beans, but I also hit the pavement. It was a major ow. I've had more than a couple on this trip. We had a talent show at the family reunion. My wife told me to write something, but I had no idea what to write. A couple of hours before the show, she told me to sit down with her laptop and write one of the poems that I usually do for Christmas. It tales a harrowing tale.

I’d like to tell you a story; About our family’s journey; Let us share with you, a dream come true Our travels to Hawaii. We started out on a plane; For so long it was insane. 9 hours in flight, it was really a fright. Our butts were all in pain. But we finally made it to land We found Hawaii quite grand Beautiful blue seas, not to mention palm trees And black lava sand Then at end of our first day, We went to the feast at Lele A luau galore, fire dances, hula dancers and more The show was a breathtaking display. Of course, a luau would not be complete Without culinary Hawaiian treats Traditional Polynesian dishes, made with pork, meat and fishes Oh my gosh, such good eats! The road to Hana was one really long ride But it’s a big part of Maui’s pride It seemed to take all day, to finally make our way Those waterfalls sure love to hide That road has way too much curve By cliffs that twist and swerve It’s really quite insane, like driving in a video game It takes a toll on your nerve And then, most naturally When you find yourself surrounded by the sea, It’s a fairly safe bet, you’re gonna get wet Which was the best part according to me We did more than only swim There were surfing lessons for the twins It was amazing when, we saw them hanging ten Then they wiped out and fell in There was snuba and snorkeling and stuff But at one point things got kinda rough Their fall was brief, but the girls hit the reef My girls proved to be tough I tried to race to their side But a wave hit me, I fell, then I felt a breeze on my hide I got my own owie, as I mooned all of Maui I lost most of my suit along with most of my pride Well, I think that’s enough of this trip, I’m running out of little quips It’s so hard to find rhymes in so short of time But let me leave you with a tip This trip was never a bore, We couldn’t have asked for more But take it from me, if you take to the sea Make sure to fasten your drawers. So that was our week in the sun I hope you had some fun Listening to our week, every adventure, experience and exposed cheek Now could somebody pass the rum?

We also had an auction for stuff people brought, everything from pies to homemade purses, to a lie that i got in Hawaii, to a little, purple box in a weird shape that I have no idea what you would put in it. (My wife bought that.)
We raised $667 dollars for charity with it too. Seattle Children's Hospital. On of my wife's cousins has a 4 year old with terminal pulmonary heart disease. Poor kid has equipment attached to her 24-7, but she's mobile and such a sweet thing.

If the hand is still hurting by Monday, I'll go see a doctor. Unless the doctor calls me in tomorrow. We just got home and there were 3 messages from her on my machine to call. I guess my latest blood test is in.

check the poem. That first Sunday. My girls were boogie boarding and they washed into the shore onto the reef. I went after them. I got knocked down and the the tide yanked my trunks down. What's worse is that I was caught in the tide which had gotten very rough and I couldn't get up.

Heh. Hehehe. Kind of reminds me of when my mum's skirt came off during a netball game.

Oh, god. This is like the third John Wayne (I assume) movie in a row the roommate has watched. I'm at the point now where I can't even stand the existence of the TV. I want a monster. Or an explosion. Or an exploding monster. Or a spaceship. Or an exploding monster in a spaceship.
Maybe I'll lock myself in my office and write about an exploding monster in a spaceship.
