Haikus
hearts all aflutter
the aroma of old spice
everything is good
snoring breaks the peace
"Hey, Stewart! Sleep on your side!"
valium slumbers
ever serpentine
beast of screaming steely bones
insatiable
the beaches of sand
golden shifting heart of love
fish swim aglitter
....and my favourite - in two parts...
the sideways rocking
tossing and rolling machine
destroying balance
impatient bladder
sway and misdirected stream
oh woe is her shoe

The houseboating was amazing!
.....and so was this conversation.....
Tynessa: Connor!! There's a bee in here!! I can't deal with bees!
Connor: No worries. You deal with the spiders and I'll take care of all the bees.
Tynessa: (goes into the bathroom)
Connor: TYNESSA!!! WORST POSSIBLE SCENARIO!!! IT'S A BEE LOCKED INTO A FIGHT TO THE DEATH WITH A GIANT SPIDER!!!
India - Feb 11th
As Tynessa and I wandered down the tourist-laden streets of Fort Cochin, we encountered a group of boys heading back to school. They became all smiles and hellos as they approached, giggling. They seemed to be around 11 or 12 years old and so as one boy walked towards us with his hand stretched out I immediately thought "Korea" and High Five". I geared up to return said high five and was therefor completely shocked when he swooped in for a chest grab instead. I turned to shake an angry finger at him as he and his friends took off at full speed.
Ah well, I hope the kid at least earned himself a full months worth of bragging rights.
