I'm about to restart my paper challenge. Going to hold on to another month's worth of recyclable white paper, newspaper, magazines and stuff so I can see how I am doing in reducing my consumption and impact. Before March gets here, I am going to give you all some solutions...
I'm an active contributer and helper to the We campaign, one of the many initiatives to help fight global warming. One of the new partners in this fight is Reality.org (which has a bitchin' logo ... damn I wish I had thought of that). One of its new commercials is...
If there was ever a time to appreciate my telecommute day, it is this week. Because I get to go to the bathroom. Hold on, let me explain.Each week during this month, a different floor in my office building is having the bathrooms remodeled. So this week we have to...
Alright, we're getting there. Of course, I was not aware that this could most likely end up being a Supreme Court matter. And we know how full of equal justice sense they are.
Looks like this will be my last post from Maui. I still have several hours left here before I head to the airport and the reverse trip from hell back to DC, where apparently it will be 40 degrees, snowy, rainy and windy as we land. Brilliant.I will miss this...
Hell yes. I saw a couple whales breach today. And I got the sequence of one of them (pictured above) to prove it. Awesome. And let me tell you, it was breathtaking to see in person. Today was my first-ever time on a boat. Well, a boat that was not...
Wednesday I got to play my second round of golf here on Maui. The first round on Monday, at Kapalua's Bay Course, was not as successful as I had hoped. Granted, it was my first time even swinging a club in 4 months, so some rust was to be expected....
Yes, go ahead and hate me. I don't care. But I wanted to be fun and test out posting a video to this blog for the first time. I shot video with three different digital cameras, but for some reason I couldn't get the video to recognize. So I decided...
Wish I had something massively important to say here, but I don't I just thought it cool that in the span of a two days, we found evidence of my home state here in Maui. The first came when the car we rented turned out to be made in Louisville....
Searing pain. All through my body. That's what I feel hours after coming down from the Haleakala Crater, a volcano on Maui 10,000 feet above sea level. The air was thin, the hiking was slow and I feel mocked by a couple from Alaska, but in the end I am...
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...
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...
