Mahalos to newB24, tigertail777, TornadoTiki and McTiki for visiting and posting feedback.

I’m looking forward to hosting another soirée at the Blowfish Bar, targeting sometime between the middle and end of October. Chris (TornadoTiki) and Christina (metikigal), I hope that is compatible with your calendars. Maybe McTiki would like to motor up and join us. The weather should still be on the warm side, so the beach ought to be enjoyable. In the meantime, I’ve got some rocket business to deal with, as well as acclimation of a new member of the family pack.

In August, Calista, our 15-year old standard poodle, succumbed to a stroke. Her brother, Tango, is 8 years old and exhibited signs of stress in her absence. So we contacted Coastal Poodle Rescue, hoping to find a mature standard poodle female in need of a home. With rescue, you need to be flexible in your parameters. As luck would have it, we got a call within a week with a good match except for the mature part... a 5-month old standard poodle female considered as a “special needs” case because she is an albino. Fortunately, her sight and hearing are intact. Two weeks ago we welcomed Kalani (Hawaiian for “heavenly”) into our home where she has been a mighty cute and lively little pest. She loves the ocean, like Tango, but we have to limit her sun exposure. She is pure energy in motion, approximating an F0 tornado on the Fujita scale as she whirls through the beach house chasing Tango...

Getting back to the upcoming Blowfish Bar soirée, along with Mai Tais, perhaps we can pick a cocktail to try from among the Moon Islander’s recipes in this TC thread: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=26860&forum=1&start=15&hilite=moon

Any suggestions on which one?
