I may be on the other side of the planet (or so it feels considering the temperature and lifestyle differences between DC and Hawaii), but I am not forgetting about where I live. DC has been my home for almost a decade now, and it’s been my wife’s home for about 12 years. So it […]
Tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, we are waking up nice and early and attacking (OK, hiking) the crater at Haleakala Volcano. It’s been inactive for decades, so I don’t have to worry about going Joe Banks on anyone. Looking forward to it. We hiked about 2 miles of it last year on the honeymoon, but now we’re […]
Long flights and vacations are great for reading books, or listening to them, depending on how you travel. After finishing the Jacobs book, I dove right in and conquered another in no time. These historical narrative nonfiction books are just cool. I really like reading them. They are a growing form of nonfiction where instead […]
When we first landed and got over to the beach, it was late and dark. The next day was a Friday, so I wrote it off that we got here before the weekend truly began. It’s now Sunday afternoon and one thing is for sure: The recession is definitely noticeable here. As one might say, […]
Reading a book about a guy who decides to live a — literally — biblical life for one year doesn’t exactly sound like the kind of reading material one would think I would get into. But when this book is written by AJ Jacobs, you can count me in. You see, Jacobs got me hooked […]
So we certainly accomplished a few things on our first day here. Took care of good food (ate at Mama’s FIsh House, a swanky nice place along the northern coast). Scored a solid opening-trip breakfast at our favorite breakfast spot in Lahaina. Got in some solid pool time at the hotel pool (which turned out […]
Thursday/Friday was a long day. You may not care, because the end result was me waking up this morning to the sound of waves crashing into the beaches here in Kaanapali, Maui, but suck it, it’s my blog and I write what I want. It all started by waking up at 5 in the morning […]
Yeah, so I am a couple months’ late turning in this report. If you missed out, you can read up what this project was all about here. But put simply, I saved an entire month’s worth of paper that could be recycled so that I could see how much of an impact I was making […]
I’ve only read a few Stephen King novels. It made me frightened of clowns (still true), and some of the others are equally scary, though I kinda gave him up once I left high school. Just wasn’t feeling the magic. Kelly still digs on his work, and reads a bunch of his stuff. While I […]
As a graphic designer, I have to usually submit several options in my design for the big whigs to choose from. I’ll throw in my bets bets, but also some ones I really hate, because often putting in lackluster work helps push people in the direction you want. Sorry if I’m giving away some super […]
