It is about time to catch up on entries that I have had rolling around in my head but have been unable to get down on the blog due, mostly, to having so many things going on at the same time as the availability of the computer. This goes back to the first one when we were still back in Portland/Vancouver before tossing ourselves on the airplane bound for Tahiti.
When we were debating whether or not to bring a computer Sandy had gone out and purchased this mini-computer to be able to say that we should bring at least one along. That left me to ponder the size and weight of my slightly larger machine. While we were in discussion on this issue Mary O. popped in for a glass of wine and chimed in that we shouldn’t take more than one machine because we certainly know how to share… a year together on a boat sorted that out long ago. Well, as it turns out, we do know how to share but generally we have limited time to do e-mails and blog entries and sharing meant someone needed to take a back seat to get anything done. The quality of the connections we have found is such that typically fast tasks take forever and it leaves one of us to handle the jobs needed and by the time we surrender the computer the connection is gone. So be it… I just let the stuff stack up so that Sandy could keep the pace up to close to normal levels of correspondence.
Having said all that along comes an opportunity to get some things down because we are in Vava’u on a very rainy day and not much else to do! I had finished the book, “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” which had been on my list of reading that I have wanted to do for a long time. I was about to pick up, “The Sex Lives of Cannibals” when the computer was suddenly freed from its usual bondage.
