All work and no play make Joey a dull boy.
Oh shit, I'm back. Does this mean that I have to blog?

Hay Mucho Calor Aqui.

Mama mia, that's a spicy meatball in the sky!
It was toasty today, so hot that my brain melted like a dropped
ice cream cone on an Arizona highway. Dog, It was 91 degrees
in San Francisco today. I heard several pleas to Saint Al for some
cooling intervention. Save us Al, we repent our evil carbon ways!

I say basta! Have a cold drink and look at what the jet stream is doing.

In honor of St. Al (I am not worthy to say his name.), lets have a
Joe-he-tow.

Ingredients:
Rum | Cachaca | Tequila | Rose's Lime Juice | Lemon Juice | Pineapple Juice

2 shots of rum, 1 shot of cachaca, 2 shots of tequila, a drop of Rose's,
a few squirts of lemon juice and some pineapple juice into a
blender. Blend!!!!! Now fill a shaker half way up with ice cubes and
pour the elixir in. Shake!!!!
(Aah, Shake shake, shake shake!
Aah, Shake shake shake, shake shake shake,
Shake your booty! Shake your booty!
Oh, shake shake shake, shake shake shake,
Shake your booty! Shake your booty.) About 40 times mas o menos.
Pour the flavor of the gods into a Margarita glass. Enjoy!

Aloha `Oe Don!

Don Ho. 1930-2007
One paddle, two paddle, three paddle,
Four to take me home
Fourteen on the right, fourteen on the left,
Take me to Hawaii nei, no ka best.

I went away a long time
Such a long time, a long time ago
Seen enough cities to last a lifetime
Goin' away no more

I want to smell the fowers,
The sweet flowers when the trade winds blow
Seen enough fences to last a lifetime
Goin' away no more

Yes, take me to my lover
My fair lover, I left long ago
Felt enough sorrow to last a lifetime
Goin' away no more

Handles Like A Laser!

Is that the Tillerman on the helm? Is this why he is AWOL? We'll have to send the
Shore Patrol after him, dragging him kicking and screaming back to his keyboard.
It's time for more of your stories Grand Dad!

Fish On Fridays. Brrrrr, It's Cold!

I feel like a frozen fish. It's been in the 30s (0-1c) here in San Francisco.
I can't believe that Santa Barbara is forecasted to have temperatures in the mid 20s (-4c)
this weekend! I guess I can kiss my oranges goodbye.

Paging Al Gore, paging Al Gore, what happened to Global Warming?
This has been the coldest winter that I have ever experienced in my life. (I ain't a kid buster.)
For my European readers, San Francisco is roughly at the same latitude as Seville in
Spain or Catania in Italy (Sicily).

Happy New Year!

Have a happy, wet and wonderful new year!
May your waves be perfect, winds fair, sails full, beer cold, water warm, keiki healthy,
wahine pretty and beach clean.
