Ok,
I've clued a few people in on why I haven't
been posting on Tiki Central with my usual frequency.

Well now that things have settled slightly,
I can tell part of the story.

And its an involved one.

18 years ago, the girl I had been seeing a few months earlier, notified me that she was pregnant.Well long story short, she had a daughter, and she was put up for adoption.

Fast forward to the begining of November this year. I basically got the internet version of the
knock on the door.

I have been spending the last month getting to know my daughter Sharie. The process was mostly via internet, but last week, we arranged to finally meet.

I've documented the meeting and the few days that we spent togehter.

She has her fathers flair for the melodramatic. As she wanted to meet at the fountain at Balboa Park. And she added the flair of standing facing the fountain, so she wouldn't see me walking up. Because she said she wouldn't know how to react if she saw me from a distance.

So anyways, heres a link to the photo album

a little preoccupied!
