It was hard to rouse Mr. Tiki up after his time at the Bali Hai, so he cruised around with me while I worked, then tagged along as I played hooky for a little bit in the afternoon and stopped at the clay studio.

Mr. Tiki said he always wanted to try pottery, and jumped onto a wheel.

He didn't quite "get" it, but enjoyed spinning around and around. His own feet couldn't reach the pedal from the stool, but he was just the right size to .... be the pedal itself.

He didn't enjoy getting stepped on, so he climbed up onto a table as we unloaded a kiln. A few pieces of mine came out of the bisque firing. While he did say he thought my stuff was "okay," he kept bringing up that "they weren't quite as Ku -ul as me." A little sassy, if you ask me, Mr. Tiki.

He tried to make some jokes while I glazed some of these, but after a while I felt it was time for him to return to his box, and get back to work.

Eventually, we made it home, and I took him into our home bar, The Forbidden Maya Tai for a beverage. He hung around for a bit...

Mr. Tiki tried to make friends with a few folks, but they were more of the "strong, silent types."

It was a long day for the little guy, so Mr. Tiki decided to kick back on a rattan chair and start working on a list of some other things he wanted to check out in San Diego.

Stay tuned....
