It’s not an excuse and we’re catching up. But in my early career (1st 20 years) in the restaurant business, there was no such thing as a retirement plan. Benefits weren’t a thing. Being young and poor, free food was a benefit. My wife has been in healthcare. She says retirement was always offered.
My Dad always said this is a right and a responsibility. He used to say of you enjoy the freedoms, then exorcise your right. When we were kids, he would take us in the voting booth to see the process. Never been an option in my mind.
Took my car into the dealer for service. Stopped for a cup of coffee Joe before walking home.
Pele is getting restless again
You know the whole body soreness, the morning after you compete in an athletic event? For me it was the morning after paddling in the Molokai to O`ahu canoe race. That’s how I feel every morning.
My wife is a germ phobe. I’m the opposite. I embrace germs. She gets sick pretty often. I rarely get sick. Not sure if that’s the reason, but if I start getting sick I’ll rethink my behavior
We finally saw it, and a near full moon. Halloween style
The 11.1 update has been killing my Apple Watch battery. Getting little more than 12 hours. Turned off Live Activities, which I like, to see if that helps.
I keep getting emails from places I dropped resumes for GM or high level F&B positions 3 and 4 years ago before I dropped out of management. I could easily make 40% more, but be much less happy and way more stressed.
The devil on one shoulder says “you could blow away the kids”
Cruise ship day in Kona. The pier in Kona isn’t big enough for large ships, so they anchor offshore and a steady flow of tenders ferry passengers to and fro.
The Ironman is in a week and half. They’re here
Package from Amazon had this tag
The truck I had when I moved to Hawaii island. ‘85 P’up. Ended up with 200k+ miles. Wish I still had it. I had a cassette player, at some point I added portable CD player plugged into the auxiliary. Had a folder with Cassettes and one with CDs. Listened a lot music on long drives on this island
Went out to look for the comet. There was one big cloud where we think it should be. But we did see the almost full moon
Made potato, bacon and Parmesan quiche. Haven’t made quiche in ages. Came out yummy.
Happiness is a well seasoned French steel sauté pan
When we were kids politicians would walk the neighborhoods and knock on doors in election years. There was a Hawaii State senator name Steve Cobb that was a friend of my Dad. He would walk his entire district every 2 years. He had dog repellents clipped to his belt. Don’t see that since the internet
I remember buying this at Borders Books and Recordz in about ‘93. Still love it
When Southwest came into Hawaii Market, it was a breath of fresh air. Hawaiian’s fares had been creeping since Aloha shut down. It made the short shopping or fun trip more affordable again. If Southwest melts down in this current board fight it will be bad for Hawaii. Hawaii is a tiny Market

Thank you #ESPN for expanding my cultural horizons and making MNF in Spanish my only option because I don’t have cable.
Looking at restaurants around our hotel in Santa Rosa for our trip. 25 restaurants in 15 min radius. 18 are Mexican. When in Rome…
My brain in now broken. Just listened to a podcast about post quantum gravity and random noise in the gravitational field.
Dodger stadium in for a day game is beautiful
