My wife is competing in the mile at a Masters Swim event in San Diego. She’s staying at a hostel in Ocean Beach. OB is kind of like the Haight-Ashbury of San Diego. She sent me this from the room and I had to share.

The koolest kat of all time!! Book 'em, Danno!
They sure don't make 'em like they used to. I'm referring to both cops and pompadours.
Call me Mr. Thicky but why is there a Menehune surfing on McGarret's head? Is it symbolic of something? I am the first to admit that some aspects of art eludes me,
for instance I gaze at the Mona Lisa and see a dreary painting of an even drearier mousy hausfrau.
Pahonu, the art on the walls is often for sale in small inns/hostels. Did the Mrs. buy the painting in question as a present for you, if so is it titled?
I think it would be cool to have that in your living room just as a conversation starter, especially as I suspect it was painted by Ivan.
How did your better half do at the Masters Swim event in San Diego? A medal for her and a painting for you and her San Diego visit can be counted a success all around.
Hey Dobie,
I’m sad to report, I do NOT now possess this masterpiece!
I also don’t know a title, other than what is written on the bamboo-like frame: Book ‘Em Danno Justice in Paradise. Works for me.
My interpretation is the artist was deeply inspired by McGarrett’s always well-coiffed pompadour and exaggerated it with a mashup of Hawaiian imagery from the tiki milieu.
Perhaps Ivan will some day cop to his artistic predilections.
Did you that the Mona Lisa wasn’t really very famous until it was stolen in the early 20th century?

My wife made out better than me. She finished third and got a medal in her age group, which is how they group the swimmers. I think there were only about six swimmers in that group. The 50 and over category doesn’t see a huge number of competitors in certain events, particularly the difficult butterfly events and the mile. Coincidentally, as I’m writing this, she’s at swim practice.
