Leisure

It’s good to have goals in life, so I’ve recently decided to catch up on all the superhero movies leading up to The AvengersThor, done; Captain America on the Fourth of July; Ironman right now.  It’s looking like this might be a movie that I should pay some attention, so please excuse any typos beyond the usual misuse of commas and its and it’s.

Our friend Nick came over today to teach me how to restring a ukulele, which was surprisingly simple compared to its intimidation factor.

After tuning it and practicing Aloha ‘Oe, I noticed that the soothing sounds of the uke had an unexpected effect on Rush.

In the words of Elliot Garfield:  “Music is nature’s sedative.”  He slept on the kitchen floor for at least 30 minutes, which combined with Tate’s nap, gave me time to get reacquainted with the piano as well.

Changing the subject:  We were at the beach last weekend where it was rainy and seaweedy, so we went out to the the jetty.  I really enjoyed the sign before venturing out on to the rocks:

It’s nice to go somewhere that’s not either totally blocked by handrails or closed to the public.  Just be careful kiddos.
