Aloha, bitches!
“I went to Maui to stay a week and remained five.”
—Mark Twain, 1866
Friends: I am off with my wife to the island of Maui for a week. I am completely unplugging from the internet, which I haven’t done in probably half a decade. I might post some Instagram photos (@austinkleon), but I doubt it.
“How pleasant to sit on the beach,
On the beach, on the sand, in the sun,
With ocean galore within reach,
And nothing at all to be done!
No letters to answer,
No bills to be burned,
No work to be shirked,
No cash to be earned.
It is pleasant to sit on the beach
With nothing at all to be done.”
—Odgen Nash, “Pretty Halcyon Days”
As my dad used to say, “If you need me, I’ll call you.”
Note to would-be robbers: my in-laws are staying with our ferocious beast of a dog and my shotgun.
