Jennie Anderson (Dylan)
Robby,
Tam and I had a great discussion yesterday on my folk hero Bob Dylan. His show at Dell Stadium in Round Rock was Very disappointing. He sang only a few songs I even recognized in the Very long 1st set. He stayed on the right side of the stage only moving from the keyboard to play his guitar. He never said a word. Yes, he is a legend, but Tam and I agree his concert days should be done, especially if he doesn't give sing his old stuff. We left at 10:30, more from boredom than anything else. Later, I heard his encore had three of his older great songs. By then many, many people had left though. John Mellancamp was Awesome. I didn't get to see much of Willie Nelson, good, but just Willie, laid back, as you said. Dylan's Rainy Days and Hwy 61 very good, but that was it.
Peggy and Rick, be sure and take the helicopter ride to the top of a glacier. It is exhilarating!
Hawaii was great. Janne and I had a blast, and no I didn't drink a "Maui Owwi" but other delicious drinks. We had some uncomfortable situations, like being stuck in a 6 hour traffic block, due to a forest fire crossing the main road in Maui. We hung our wet clothes all over the inside of the car to dry, because they started souring in the trunk. We watched a DVD on Janne's computer, Vernon, Florida. If you haven't seen the movie you might want to....It is 90 minutes long and we laughed so hard in our clothes draped car, rendering similar scenes for the movie we were watching. Wet spots were spotted on the passenger side of the road for miles and miles as we drove forward after waiting the 6 hours, you can imagine what they were, can't you?
On our boat snorkeling trip I became stuck on the slide, my legs all entangled within the handles at the top of the slide. I had climbed up backwards due to my knees, turning to slide down. That's when the entanglement happened. Janne is in the freezing cold water cracking up laughing. The scuba diving guide had to climb up and help disentangle me, which was more than awkward for me, but obviously not him, he was enjoying every second in front of all the people watching. Finally, I was free and it was the best slide of my life.
Janne and I decided late one afternoon, outside of Kona, at this little state park to snorkel. We rented the equipment and set off for the beach. The problem was that with flippers on me, Janne had to lead me backwards out into the water. This wave hit me at the shallowest point and I flipped crunching Janne's shin with my flipper, she still has the knot, and I was pulled out into the water. Janne was knocked down and COULD NOT get up out of the waves hitting her on the beach. She rolled all over the beach for a very long time, trying to get up. My turn to laugh! We didn't have any life preservers and in very deep water. It was a stupid idea, but it was fun and turned out okay, since we didn't drown.
If anyone wants a fun time go to Hawaii. We stayed in Bed and Breakfast places at $75 each a night. We had our own cottages, beautifully furnished, with the most awesome views!
