Flying Hawaii
March 3rd, 2010
Kona to Hilo via Kohala coast, Upolu point, Hamakua coast and back via
Waimea. Cessna 182 N5692P 2.2 hours of time logged. Simply awesome.
Good morning!

Here’s the view from our condo in Kona town. Didn’t realize the
powerlines were there… Funny what your mind filters out. The
flowering trees below I believe are Gardenia trees. Whatever they are
they smell awesome!
Aloha!

A toast for good toast!
February 22nd, 2010
I had a toaster. I hated it. Despised it.
No more!
Look at my new toaster OVEN! I’m more excited about it than I
probably should be, but hey – it’s the little things in life, right?
I already know it makes great chicken nuggets

Meet Junior…
February 6th, 2010
He’s there on the right next to his brothers of various ages – isn’t
he cute?
I had wanted a smaller device to use while traveling and while
watching TV (it’s fab to lookup stuff/stars/stats while watching!)
I had high hopes for the Apple iPad but the first version that came
out a few weeks ago just didn’t meet my needs or expectations (no
flash player Apple? Come on now…that’s just dumb no matter what)
So I finally got a "netbook" – and it’s pretty neat. One inch thick
and about 2.5 pounds. 10 inch screen running Windows 7. Intel Atom
N450 processor (the very newest Atom processor) and 2 gigs memory.
Keyboard is more useable than it looks. It’s a sweet little dealie
and performs great.
Oh, and here’s the fun part… It’s a Gateway. Yep, remember them
cows? I was going for the highest rated and reviewed HP netbook but
found this little gem that just came out while researching for the
others. The specs beat the others and price was right so I got it.
Hopefully this little guy will continue to perform.
YAY – new toys!
Cat commas?

Or synchronized sleeping?
Feline open parenthesis?
Two cat posts in a row, I know, but they’re just so damned cute…
The poor things…

Blackout!
December 22nd, 2009
Power is out on Capitol Hill…kinda fun for a change…
took a shower real quick before the hot water became cold water. shopping at Safeway is fun – very dark and manual checkout.
hope it doesn’t last into the night!
NY Times quotes me!
December 15th, 2009
Read to the end…the reporter chose to quote me! April and Steve (also quoted) are good friends of mine as well (fellow airplane geeks)

I swear I followed the instructions to a "t" — here’s hoping attempt

“Perfect” brownies!
December 11th, 2009
So we got suckered in to the "perfect brownie pan" after watching the
commercial so many times…thanks Christopher for the perfect
Christmas present! I’ll be damned If it doesn’t actually work, and
pretty well actually! Here are the second batch results (first batch
was little gingerbread cakes!). And yes, we are aware of the gigantic
cupcake mold commercial….only the future will tell 
ENEMA!

I’m sorry, could you package this more conspicuously? I’d appreciate
it. Thanks…
Ahhhh…Christmas mixers…

Now *I* have the blanket with sleeves!
In a fashionable zebra pattern nonetheless….plus bonus "press and
open" booklight, which provided the handy illumination for the photo.
Thanks Christopher!!!! Xoxo!
