Maui Memories

When I chatted with the people across from me at our church’s music ministry dinner, they mentioned that they were from Carson, which is near where I live. They recommended a restaurant called “Back Home in Lahaina”. I went there last night.

It was so fun. It really seemed like a restaurant in Maui – the food, the decorations, the music… It was also a little sad. There was a mural of Front Street on the wall:

I got fish, it was delicious. I had to chuckle a little at the salad. I had this at many potlucks. People in Maui called it “Chinese salad”. It’s cabbage, with vinaigrette dressing, sesame seeds, and uncooked ramen noodles.

It was good food and a fun experience. I will definitely go back.

    That’s where the fire was, yes? That is sad, but your food looks delicious! What a cool concept for a restaurant! Kudos to the owners!

    [Wait – which pile on your plate included uncooked ramen? I’m looking for stuff and crunchy stuff and only see yummy – looking soft things.] What a find! Glad you could go and thoroughly enjoy that, you man of the world now you!

Sun Sitting

I don’t know if he’s only recently discovered sunlight, or i’ve only recently noticed this, but Bruno has been basking in the sun whenever he can. Yesterday I was in the garage doing my regular exercise session, and he was down on the floor with me and enjoying the warmth.

Scaredy Cat

I have a pest-control service that visits my house once a month. It’s probably more expensive than me just buying some bug spray and going around the outside of my house myself, but I like it because I’m forgetful and I’m lazy.

The sprayer guy came yesterday, and texted me before he came to ask if I had any requests. I asked if he could come inside the house to spray. It’s included in my price, but I’m never home to let them in. This time I was! Awesome!

My plan was to hold Bruno while the spraying happened, then put him in the car and go for a drive while the spray dried. They use a pet-safe formula, but it should be dry before letting pets into the rooms it’s been sprayed.

The guy came in, and pumped his sprayer. It squeaked, and Bruno FREAKED. He hissed, jumped out of my arms, and ran behind the couch. I tried to coax him out while the guy sprayed, but no success. I asked the guy not to spray the living room, blocked off the living room doors, and waited for Bruno to come out, which he eventually did:

Later in the day, I realized he had torn my shirt as he jumped out of my arms:

Still later, I realized he had given me some nasty scratches. But hopefully I won’t be seeing any silverfish for a while.

Pool Pictures

Yesterday, I went swimming in my pool for the first time this summer. It’s been difficult for me to get in the water, because the weather in LA is so nice. It’s warm (but not hot) during the day, and then it cools down at night. So nice for every day living, but not so nice for making the pool water warm.

Yesterday I had the cover on all day, and then in the evening I had my regular exercise session, which made me hot. It made it a good time to swim! Yay!

Tomorrow, I think I’ll try having the cover on, and running the heater a little.

I took a picture of myself in the pool:

But I really like this one, where I was trying to get the camera flipped, and took a picture of my “concentration face”. Ha!

Surprising Shirt

It was a warm day yesterday, so I went to the mall to walk around. I stopped in Marshall’s to browse and saw a curious tag:

“Guaranteed to wrinkle”? That’s the opposite of what l would expect to see on the label. I think I might like a shirt that’s supposed to be wrinkled. But I didn’t get it.
