Let Me Entertain You

It's called a Ukulele.

It's been my joy since November 2008. 

It's now the latter half of the year 2012... and I started this Blog back in 2011?

Oh where has time gone?

I'm baaaack!!

A big part of time has gone by with me keeping very busy learning the Ukulele, and trying to La-La-La (that's code for SING cuz I don't really sing... that well).  But I'm trying and all I want to do... is Entertain You!

When I started this Blog, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it.  Now I'm sitting in the office of the 21st Floor in Downtown Vancouver on my lunch hour.... And I had this urge to get back to writing...  something that wasn't work related because work related topics would be about real estate investments and bank reconciliations... oh pooh, pooh on that - especially during my lunch hour!  I want to talk UKE!

This photo was taken when I was on a cruise.... to... Alaska!!  I know one wouldn't expect to see Ukuleles on cruiseships bound for Alaska but when I was asked to go on this cruise, I couldn't imagine what it would be like to cruise to a "not-so-warm destination".  What... no flip-flops and bring a coat?... on a cruise?  I snuck my Uke into my back-pack cuz apparently I can and boarded this huge honkin ship to destinations of glaciers, polar bears, whales & Sarah Palin.  Hmmm, not sure I'm going to like all that Northern "stuff"! 

 

As it turned out, Alaska was beautiful and I absolutely loved it and like most cruises, this one had it's quiet times at sea as well... so luckily or unluckily for some passengers, I whipped out my Uke and started in on some practising!!!  The weather was perfect for the sweet sounds of my little ukulele...  It felt like I was on a cruise to Hawaii (if it weren't for the long sleeves, boots and snow capped mountains in June).  Oh one day.. I hope to be doing just that... on my way to Hawaii with flip-flops & a nice floppy sun-hat!! 

Oh by the way, I didn't meet Sarah Palin but I did see her picutre hanging on the walls of city hall in Juneau!  Close enough, I guess...

Happily Strumming the hours away!
