Clan Kellington, Olympia Branch (and assorted hangers-on) is headed south tomorrow at 5 a.m., which is this mysterious time about an hour before I usually first slap the snooze button on my alarm and roll over for another 45 minutes.

We're going to visit my grandparents and see Jake Shimabukuro and Leo Kotke play at Britt, in Jacksonville. The fact that we're making this seven hour road trip with my parents (in the front seat, probably) and my boyfriend and I (in the back, as befits the younger generation, where we can poke each other and squabble until someone tells us to be quiet) is apparently surprising to many people... but we're looking forward to it.

Mom, Erik, and I wanted to buy ukuleles and teach ourselves to play on the way down, because 1) ukuleles are travel sized, 2) we're seeing Jake Shimabukuro, and 3) that's the kind of annoying-the-driver story no one would believe -- but financial prudence won out.

Also we don't want dad to leave us by the side of I-5 somewhere between Salem and Eugene. So.

(It's a hard dream to give up -- especially since I found out that Uke-an Play Jimmy Buffet! For Beginners is a thing (for real! That bad pun actually made it to publication!).

Anyhow. Don't know how much I'll be on the net, don't be surprised if I don't respond to hails, etc.

My brother will be jealous when I tell him! He's a big fan of Shimabukuro.

Have a good one!
