Friday, 8 March 2013 DAY 321 MOON 11 WANING 26%
Tried to sleep in and Ezra just wanted to play and play and play and play in bed. He had the Kindle fire which has become he go to source for entertainment. We played a matching animal game that had sounds for all the animals. Ezra especially liked the mountain gorilla. We went to the swimming pool and took passport pictures for all of our visas that we me need. I chased viena in the swimming pool underwater. I actually went on a swim earlier in the pool. I swam 70 laps ~mile. Tried to think of some new lyrics for Papa Tim’s birthday party. A birthday rap with his son Nick. Just a pipe dream. Read last night about the Wright Brothers and how they succeeded in fulfilling their pipe dream of flight. I can not believe that I never heard that story with all of the classes for Aerospace engineering. So, we hung out at the pool for Papa TIm’s birthday party. Before though, I went for a run up into the coffee plantation area to see a client who has a, what I found out later, labradoodle. A big black male mountain gorilla looking dog. I could write alot about the house situation, but in essence they are far away from where I want to be. “let’s get things straight”. the matriarch says to be, “this is my house and he is lucky to even be living here”. In an instant I am running away down the coffee plantation in red dirt overlooking so much scenery that it is hard for me to imagine. I am here on Maui and this is where I am. I am alone on the side of an old broken down volcano in the middle of ocean. The run was go because I found a new uncharted way down the mountain and I passed a few do not enter signs. Always good to pass those and see the exit and feel the gate and the smell of the reclamation project for the water to detour anyone from hanging out here too long. But I ran and ran and I wanted to feel better about running, stronger about running and more in shape about running, so i can run to the top of volcanoes and not feel exhausted and ready to be sacrificed or painful calves later on. I have been receiving my rest. A good run and well worth the visit to see this labradoodle. When I came back the birthday party was in full swing – missing his son NIck who was out at work. We played the swimming pool and I ran away from all the kids in a tag game that tried to tire all of them out. I had at least 7 kids all trying to tag me in the pool. Brought back memories of the games of shark that I would play at the columbia swimming pool in the summer when my feet would be burned hot from crossing the road back to our house at 701. The sky darkened and I thought about the sunset briefly and wandered what the clouds would look like on the shore. I guess new comet can be seen at sunset these days, bring what I wonder. I still remember the comet that we saw in Cordova when we were house sitting when Viena was not even one year old. I had visions back then as well of ways to travel into work along the mud flat, but the mud flats seemed too much for me back then and I needed a bridge of sorts to cross a small very muddy outlet of the river at low tide. So the party went on and we stayed until the night was dark. Dwana was the first to leave and rest her mind from the present in front of you to the thoughts that are in your mind. We had chocolate cupcakes, hot dogs, asparagus, and cheery rootbeer floats. So much for all the calories I burned on that run through the coffee fields. I returned and Dwana mentioned how some one had seen a wild boar up they has boar tusks that were 2 feet long and very pointy. But the night stretched on and With Jupiter 30 degrees form the horizon we packed up everyone and headed to Honokawai park to do some stargazing. “The girls should be in bed”. But really, what life do you want to lead, and who would you rather be with in this moment. Ezra was the first ot fall asleep – right on me and the I was the next. Something about falling asleep in the outdoors with waves crashing on the reefs and Jupiter falling down and the wind blowing through the trees – a warm wind and a trusted soul entertaining all the children. Cries could be heard from Coco every 10 minutes of so, but all in all everyone was quite happy for having the experience of warm weather dry star gazing near the ocean in the middle of the pacific ocean. I carried Ezra back home and went fast to sleep 🙂
