Yesterday I went to the open mike at the Ukulele Hut. It was held in the center court at the Agana Shopping Center, about as unfriendly a spot as you can get. The acoustics go way beyond terrible. The speaker were turned up too loud and the voices, on the rare times that anyone tried to sing, were unintelligible.

That being said the talent was impressive. There was a 16 year old kid who played While My Guitar almost as well as Jake S. And his other stuff was much better.

Wakana and I met Paul and Greshna there. They are from Poland. Paul is a physical therapist and she has a Ph.D. in Math. She teaches at the university. They have two kids but the kids are in Poland now with the grandmother.

Paul wants a sailboat. He hungers for it. He lusts for it. It was my unhappy mission to explain the reality to him. I think he has settled for a kayak. We will go out tomorrow and paddle down to the Spanish bridge in Agat. That should be fun. If the weather is good we might go out to Anae Island.
