After yesterday’s comic misadventures in travel, today was an easy, perfect day in paradise. We’re not a big couple for grand gestures and super-elaborate plans; we’re more in the “play it by ear” mode of operations. But David had tucked a Valentine’s Day card in his bag and this morning he made coffee and brought [...]
Back at work after a somewhat-fragmented work week last week, I managed to get everything done (or contented myself with what I was able to get done) for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day…
I had to work to the bitter end on Christmas Eve, after getting off early a couple of days in [...]
Got it all done, all sung, all decorated, all served, all entertained, all wiped out. Merry Christmas to all, I’m going to take a LONG nap!
@dropdeadchris, this post’s for you! Thanks for the kick in the butt. It is indeed high time I got back to REAL blogging and not just Tweeting, Google-sharing, or posting del.icio.us links here at Blogula Rasa.
My team at work has been decimated by whatever bug is going around the office; my supervisor noted on Tuesday [...]

Were waiting for a friend to call so that we can rendezvous at our favorite sushi joint.
Come on, ring, damn you! Ring!

but not yet time to get out the lawnmower.
For the first time in… probably a year or more, the dining room table is cleared off as a friend is coming over so David can take a look at his laptop. The stuff [...]
Trouble in paradise: Cash-strapped tourists avoid Hawaii – USATODAY.com

But while the marine giants are [...]
We went on Captain Andy’s Na Pali Adventure cruise yesterday – billed as a snorkel trip, but too rough to actually go in. But we were happy to see all the dolphins (spinner and bottlenose) and whales.
I didn’t get very many good fluke shots, but I’m happy with this one. I have another one that’s [...]
We order from this Chinese restaurant that’s about the only one in the area that will deliver. It’s a little hole-in-the-wall kind of place that doesn’t really have seating beyond maybe a couple of small tables. It’s a takeout/delivery place, but we were delighted to find that what they don’t expend on ambiance, they put [...]

Last night’s snow (or as I originally typo-ed, slow), dumped only about 4 inches on suburban streets in the area, but the traffic was horrendous and there were enough minor accidents to put corks in all the bottlenecks. And due to the way the east-west arterials around here are blocked by large tracts of parkland [...]
