Debt of Gratitude
I'm sittin' here totally SOLO on the beach, at the house, the three bedroom, two bath, ocean FRONT, pointed-toward-the-sunset, only one hot-tub and four Tiki torches between me and the 80' Pacific ocean, full moon rising, all-by-my-lonesome, 'ain't got nobody to talk to, especially someone that could understand me, empty house.
An' all I kin do is write clever shit with cool speling.
I'm listening to 'They Might Be Giants' C.D. 'Flood.' A truly great album.
Forget this! I'm going out to the Point. That's where the outdoor dinner table lives out on the Lanai (porch). A little concrete enclave that juts slightly out into the sea from the edge of the Lanai.
This place is really good.
My Friend EG, best man in my wedding, he's been an electrician for twenty five years. He does okay. He sure 'ain't gettin' rich. He has been renting and living the content bachelor, always tons-o-roommates, no worries, Island lifestyle for as long as I have known him. And I've known him since I lived that way too. That's why I know him.
So, six months ago, he meets this girl, GF. EG ain't had too many girlfriends over the years. Turns out that after living (renting) at an ocean front house for 8 years, they actually finally sold the house, and EG had to move out. I don't know if I understand this exactly right but, GF, his new girlfriend, BUYS not his house but the house next door. EG moves in by knocking down a fence and carrying his stuff from one house to the next.
Except now he's rent free. And, so am I! On the friggin' beach in ... no, not some place like So. Cal. No, I'm less than 50 miles from 'Jaws', look that up on Google! I'm on friggin' Maui!
And, this is the 4th time! I owe EG a debt of gratitude. Good thing 'cause if it was any other kinda' debt, I don't know How I would ever repay it.
Halloween in Lahaina. I was the pineapple truck. I built it. It was the best of many great vehicles we created for our costumes. It's important to me that people know that I'm a real artist. I got some real talent. Mom's an artist.
I just can't remember creating or showing any art to any of my Montana friends. Or writings.
I'm rambling, on screen.
I'll be flying back home on Dec. 17th. Working immediately thereafter.
