I've learned:

that I can make new friends who happen to be hundreds of miles away but may never get to meet them in person.
that I was wrong about my fear of joining a "chat" site.
that I have more creative talent than I ever thought.
that I look good in a "Hawaiian" shirt.
that my wife was SOOOOO right about buying that old rotting wooden idol thingy that I drove so far in the rain to look at!! (I love you Mrs. 8 FT.
that Hanford Lemoore is a very cool dude whose vision has made a real difference in many of our lives. THANKS MAN!
that I probably really belong in So. Cal
but the roots are deep in this Missouri clay.
most of all I have learned what tiki is to me and I hope all of you have discovered that as well.
