Keeping up with the Joneses

Biggerbetter

There is always a Bigger Truck.

Mad Gringo knows this feeling all too well.

It's what nearly drove him to live in a hut on the beach.

I may still end up there. Check out this article on Forbes from Neil Steinberg:

Running After The Joneses

(found thanks to Beach Walks with Rox)

The article captures the tug that defines the inner Mad Gringo. How much is enough? Why can't I just be happy on a beach learning Spanish and studying the works of Carlos Fuentes? If my parents grew up in a 1000 square foot home, why do I need more?

If Hilo Hattie has the World's Largest Hawaiian Shirt, how hard would it be for Mad Gringo to build one even bigger?

Nap time.

Feel free to comment!

And check out the Reef - a community forum put together by the Beach Walks with Rox Team.

She has a great outrigger canoe video up from last week. I copied it here.

Beach Walk 632 - Island Adventure

Let that serve as inspiration for the Kent Island Outrigger Canoe Club festivities this coming weekend!

Aloha!

Go slow.
