The Cabana Boy Returns

Well where to begin.  I guess the update about the Cabana boy is that the Principal (Becky) found a new algebra teacher so since the first of the year I have been back to my old routine. You know, taking Becky to work, cleaning the house, walking/playing with the dog, reading books, practicing my guitar, playing my X-box, and generally taking it easy.

We had a great time over Christmas. We returned to Washington to see our friends, family, and especially our new grandson. We saw a ton of people and missed a ton more but we had to return to the Marshall Islands before school started on the 8^th. We really had a good time but it was really nice to get back to where it was warm.

Last week I had to drive the office manager in to the hospital every day to get his bandages changed. He had an unfortunate crash on his scooter and broke his right ankle and lost a bunch of skin on his leg and arm. The break was clean and will heal in about eight weeks but the scrapes are very susceptible to infection so they wanted to see him every day. The care seemed to be good but the waiting drove me crazy.

For the weekends entertainment, Becky and I spent Saturday at home, Sunday we went to church, and Monday was a Super Bowl party at the Marshall Islands Resort. It seems we always have something to do. Today is Tuesday and about 2:30 this afternoon I had a couple of neighbor kids stop by to play with Mischief. She is still an oddity here and the kids love her. Mischief loves to chase a ball in the surf and she will run up and down the beach as far as we throw the ball and then bring it back to us.

We are shopping for a sailboat and hope to have one here in the islands by this summer. It makes it a little tough, shopping long distance but there are several boats we are looking at on the west coast. We’ll let you all know when we become “Yachties”.

Our internet is down right down so I don’t know when this will get posted but not everything can go right all the time. Life’s tough when you’re a Cabana Boy.
