the kid is all right

A OK. Adam back in the day when drinking was still exciting.

Word. Adam has undergone surgery, had a baseball-size tumor removed from his kidney (but was able to keep most of the kidney) and will soon be released from the hospital.
  Here's a little flashback. That's Adam on the left, with me and Baby Hannah and Cousin Ian and Barrett. We were dressed as "Fiji Islanders," but so inaccurately that I don't think we can be accused of cultural appropriation. I mean, people from Fiji probably wear the same things we do. We were attempting to play a prank on a Block Island cab driver and take an island tour. Sadly, Barrett had successfully played this joke on him before in a different disguise (overexcitable city girl), so this time he was on the alert. "OK, Barrett, I know it's you," he said. He refused to take us on an island tour, even though we were willing to pay. Adam remembers the day.

Adam and crew as Fiji Islanders, circa 1982, when he was twelve.
