Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Flight and Food

The flight to Maui was quick and mostly trouble-free. There was a family in the row behind us that were interacting like a TV show family. The mother-in-law was shrill and demanding. The father-law-was long-suffering. The son-in-law pushed back and questioned the mother-in-law’s demands. The daughter sided with her mother. It sounded scripted. It was incredible.

Besides that, I watched one of the weirder movies I’ve seen in a while. It was called “The Book of Clarence”. It’s set in Jerusalem while Jesus is there. In fact, Jesus is one of the characters in the movie. I was confused the whole time I watched it, and at the end left thinking it was good(?) I would love to have someone else watch it and tell me what they think.

Anyway, I was excited to be here again:

We settled in a little, then headed to dinner with Jacob, a new teacher at the school here. We ate at Lava Rock. It has a view of the ocean:

And it had delicious fish:

We couldn’t stay up too late though. Neither Mom or I had slept very well the night before, and we were feeling a little jet lag. But we did stop on the way home for a look at the sunset.

    Dang, that family sounds hilarious! I wish you could have recorded it. Also, of course I will watch that movie.

    Hooray for some fun time with fun people! I hope you are resting well and have a wonderful day today!

    What are the chances the couple behind you were on their honeymoon in Hawaii and the Moms both decided to come along? Now THAT would be a show I would watch!

    (I’ve always been Clarence curious – now you have inspired me to try to find it on the Roku TV. I’ll keep you posted…)

    How cool that you went out to eat with a new teacher at your old school! Had you known him from somewhere else, or were you merely being your usual magnanimous self?
