Kohna The Barbarian!!!

So, I just wanted to introduce everybody to the baby you all might not have known we had. Her name is Kohna. She lives in our monkey grass, runs with rubber tires (are there any other kind?) over her eyes, pulls Laura down the street in search of her favorite "fecal corner," and holds an extremely important place in the heart of our family.

Kohna in its correct spelling is an Indian census town named Jhusi Kohna with a population of a little over 16,000, literacy rate of 72%, and a very very sweet name.

But, the origination started from the combination of 4 of our favorite things.

1. Kona is a large district in Hawaii, and it derives its name from from having so many Kona's; which are strong westardly winds. If you listen to Jack Johnson you may hear him refer to our dog named Kona in his song Constellations when he sings:

                         "The west winds often last too long,
                           and when they come down, 
                           nothing ever feels the same".


2. Kona Brewery. We love beer. Beer loves us. And we named our dog to remind us that it is passion that motivates.

3.Kona Coffee. If you love beer, you must love coffee. Enough said.

4. Kona Bicycles. This is to remind me of the time that I drank a bunch of Kona beer at night, woke up to bring Laura some Kona coffee, and while riding my bicycle to meet her I flipped over the handle bars because I did not see the curb. This was not a Kona bicycle, but the story is fitting.

So, now you have a little biography about our baby Kohna. I would have let her tell her own story, but when I let her sit in the chair to start typing it came out like this: oerhgGHORUewgroiH
