Hawaii, revisited
This week I’m back in Hawaii, visiting friends and generally soaking up sun that I’ve been missing for the last eight months. Next week I leave for the Philippines and a very different trip; this week is about relaxing and enjoying good company. I don’t actually have much to report. The island is the same,…

September rains
Well, I’m sitting in a coffee shop to access wifi and generally realizing that during moves I drink way too much coffee and tea and whatever else I get at coffee shops. Probably not great, but wifi is awfully helpful. We got places to stay lined up in California (including four nights in Anaheim!!) until…

A Kind of Nostalgia
I know it’s a little early still, but today I found myself feeling nostalgic for a place I haven’t left quite yet and finding that small, insignificant things are making me a little sad. Breakfast, for some reason, brought back a flood of memories from the first two weeks that we lived here, having breakfast…

Photos from E’s visit this month
What’s this? Two posts in one day? Oh, my! Actually it’s just an update to let you know I’ve got over 100 new photos posted over here from my sister’s visit earlier this month. They’ve got captions and everything! Ooooooh! (Also, all the other photos are way more flattering, but these entertained me.)

Vog is in the air
I’ve been feeling just plain YUCK all week, but I made it into the zoo this morning (just for the morning), went to a presentation on stress levels in zoo animals that are being transported (and ways to reduce said stress), and was getting ready to leave when I heard someone mention that the news…

Beach day
There are several posts I mean to write this month. One of them is maybe a new “Learn a New Animal Day” entry, but I can’t quite decide which animal I want to do. I’m open to suggestions. Instead you get to hear about how I went to the beach today and how, despite my…

Floods and Fasts: Week 10 of 2012 in photos
This last week was a little strange for me. We’ve had a really high volume of rain in the last couple of weeks, especially this past week, and everything is saturated to the point of constant sogginess. Some parts of this island (not where I live, thankfully) and Kauai are under almost perpetual flash flood…

Here, there, and everywhere: Week 7 of 2012 in pictures
This week’s photos will be without much more explanation than what they themselves contain. Please bear with me. Monday, 2/13, we got to welcome home a certain ship. ^_^

Cleanest toaster oven EVER: revisited
So, if you’ve been reading my blog a while, you probably remember the Lizard Sandwich episode. If not, well… Here. Go read. So tonight I reheated some leftovers, went into the den to watch “Once Upon a Time,” and then when the show was over I came back into the kitchen with my plate… to…

Another Hawaiian Sunset
Today was a perfect beach day. The weather was warm but not too hot, the breeze was gentle and there were just enough clouds to break up the sunshine a little. I like Hawaii best on days where I get to go to the beach. Unfortunately I don’t get them as often as I’d like,…
