At nearly 65 he's still an amazing showman. The Rocket Man launched into three solid hours of extraordinary music and I've not enjoyed a concert so much in years.
Elton John played two nights on Maui and I was instantly transported me back to my youth as he walked on to "Funeral for a friend". His voice is still very powerful and he has a cheeky charisma that made it impossible not hard to have a great time.
And now back to my regular life, pretty huh?
Drunk again.
Inspired by his blow torch, the new Julia Child of Kuau (Ulli) whipped up some creme brulees with a acetylene finish. They were bloody delicious.
Those tiny black things near the horizon are actually whales. Their hulking graceful bodies came to within 15 feet of us and it's really a wonderful experience to be in their presence. Michelle and Ulli scored an incredible close encounter a few weeks ago, take a look. Thank goodness they're here a little while longer as I've not yet got my fill.

Mater envy here on two counts - seeing Elton live (and still going strong) and paddling with whales.
At least I did manage to see whales once in my lift :-)
Evidently The Sun had a headline for EJ, David Furnish and Zachary in HI, "Don't let my son go brown on me'!
Sir Elton and his friend Leon Russell did one hell of a concert here in Tulsa back in November. The old guys still got it.
