Gumbo, avec vin de table blanc

This should be a good weekend. I am still in pursuit of that 50.

I made a Gumbo with black, red and white pepper and a Bay leaf a' la Paul Prudhomme that was excellent. But, I ate all of the shrimp. I did not drink all of the wine. I look forward to more of the same.

I greatly appreciate all who comment on my musings. Several friends make their livings as professional writers. One professional columnist, a good friend from long ago, said my writing was stiff. I agree...This is writing, not conversation. Hopefully, my use in conversation of parenthetical phrasing is, as nearly as I can remember, rare.

Enough navel gazing...to the kitchen!

Good to be alive...

Flew home and hit the links on Memorial Day. I was way over 50 on the front 9. There was a crowd on the back 9, so I played the front 9 holes again. I lost concentration and my score ballooned up there. Golf is much easier to watch than to play.

However, I walk the course in the tropical heat. I am sweating at the end...Good to be alive!

Another day in Paradise

Having met with the treatment team from the unit from the Spark M. MatsunageVA Medical Center has allowed me to forge new relationships. This should help the Veterans who are traumatized from the OIF/OEF war in Iraq/Afghanistan. The Samoans were appreciative of my visit. Most pleasant day!

Working in Honolulu

Wonderful place to visit, live and/or work. We had a superb evening with Psychiatrist from the
VA. We were on the deck overloking the moonlit Pacific. The colors were a full pallette of shades of silver, shimmering and gently moving. This is Paradise Prime.
