We had a mini luau last night and this morning I spent an enjoyably hard set working off the meat stix my step-dad, Byron-the-Hawaiian, fired up. Breathing was difficult during the swim but it was worth it. This luau business started off as a request from my 4.5 year old but quickly became more significant than a an opportunity for me to eat Kalua Pig.
A year ago last night Byron-the-Hawaiian went into the hospital with some unexplained malaise that had forced an extremely active guy nearly permanently into a BarcaLounger wrapped up in a blanket. After ten days in the hospital this malaise was recognized as Stage IV Large Cell B Lymphoma. The C word. And now, a year later, Byron is back on the barbee in perfect health. We are so lucky.
So here's to health and hard sets:
