Yes, all joking aside, I think what it really took for them was actually seeing "tiki" outside of my house to figure it out. The only way to do that is to go to a place like Frankie's or the like.

The glass float lamp was a focal point for all three of them. They all commented on the fact the one in Frankie's was much smaller than mine...the artwork, tiki carvings, lighting and vibe at Frankie's tied everything together for them. They had just left TV and had this been the only place they had visited, the impact would have not been the same.

Do they get enough to participate? I doubt any of the Evil Trio will go to the extremes I have, but I know now when I am gone they will appreciate what I leave behind enough to think about tiki and what it means/meant to me. I could be mistaken as well...one or more of the Evil Trio may actually convert to their Dad's dark side and pick up the tiki mantle. If not, there are always the grandchildren!

Either way, this was a good start for all of them!

Still admiring them for what they did for me.
