Here’s my latest necklace using Ponoko. His name is Elē, and he’s a baby elephant. He’s an optimistic elephant as his trunk is always pointing up. He brings you luck.

I made him on commission from a colleague at work. I’m pretty happy with the way he turned out.

If you’d like to buy him, he comes in a variety of colors. You can go to the Ponoko website to buy it, or you can contact me through the comments here or by email.

You can buy him in any color Ponoko offers. If the color isn’t listed below, please contact me and tell me what color you would like.

Pot is an inappropriate (or maybe appropriate?) word. Keith took this photo from his apartment:

The bright rainbow ends on my house!

Last night I met Vicky, Neil and Anouk for dinner.

On my way to Crazy Horse¹ someone threw a water balloon out of a window and it nearly hit me. It landed next to my right leg.

I looked up at the sky and shook my fist! They were out there somewhere! It was probably the same person who hit the back of my head with a fork.

I thought I escaped embarrassment. But during dinner, Vicky said, “You should go salsa dancing.”

“I don’t salsa dance,” I said.

“Why not? They always need more men.”

“The last time salsa danced I kicked the toenail off my date.”

“Ouch!”

“I had to make a tourniquet out of a napkin for her bleeding toe,” I said.

“Right,” Vicky said. “I always forget that story!”

Salsa dancing confuses me because there’s too much stepping. One wrong move and bang! She loses a toenail.

If I tried again, I would make her wear steel-toed boots. Not very sexy, but safe.

_{1. Crazy Horse is an excellent steak house in Wellington. I had filet mignon. In New Zealand “filet” is pronounced “fill it.”}

I only remember a handful of rainbows in Chicago.

Vicky and I stopped for this one on the way back from Raglan.

I wonder if Maoris have something like a leprechaun in their folklore?
