Yesterday I helped Ed and Karen return the chairs they had borrowed from an Argosy (arrr!) cruise boat (since I am currently "station wagon guy" among my immediate friends). The chairs were nautical themed, which means "trimmed with rope". While there, we hung out in and around the Harborview restaurant. We were stuck outside for a while before it opened, so we tried to come up with hotel side activities. First, we considered making fun of the various boat names around the docks, but it turns out beating dead horses is not very fun nor challenging. We settled for inane commentary on the strange fountain out front (called "the president's waterfall") which strongly resembles a stage in the waste water treatment plant back in Kaneohe. (there's a little swimming-pool ladder into the water, in case you feel like taking a dip in the greasy, opaque harbor water)

Maybe today I'll get a glue gun and some rope and make my car or living room "nautical theme".
