Five-Oh My brother-in-law, Doug, is possibly being sent by his company out to a place called Lanai for a week or so. It's one of the Hawaiian islands, near Maui Lanai, Hawaii- Google Maps. It wouldn't be a vacation, it would be work. Chef stuff I presume: menus, kitchen set up, staffing, provisioning - that sort of thing. He's a chef that's what he does. I thought about the possibility that UMCP libraries would send me to Hawaii, but consider it unlikely. Lanai is almost entirely privately owned (98%) - pineapple plantations, pineapple company towns. And now, golf courses, beaches, and resorts. It is, judging by pictures I've seen of it, one of those places which is unlike other places. There are two kinds of places. Those which are like other places, and those that are not. As types neither is particularly rare, as types there is a remarkably even distribution of occurrence. The latter in their individual distinctness have the ability to put one if just for a little while outside ones self. Lanai has a windswept boulder strewn mountain top plateau called Garden of the Gods. I'm just looking for a quiet mosquito [free] coast where I can return to being inside myself. 11:36:30 PM    comment [];trackback [];
