Hawaii Trip – Shithead

No, that subject line doesn’t mean Shea is fed up with me (at least as far as I know!) We were heading for the Waimea Canyon today but a rainy morning made us decide to head back to our condo after breakfast. (A good decision – the radio cut in with emergency warnings of potential […]

Hawaii Trip – Polihale Beach

Gave the rental van a bit of a work-out driving to the most remote beach on Kauai today. There are lots of warnings online and in guidebooks about the condition of the road but to be honest, it sort of reminded me of some of the backroads in Saskatchewan – lots of washboard but nothing […]

Hawaii Trip – Kauai From The Air

We’re a couple days into our trip and finally over our jet lag and the time change (four hours earlier than home) though Shea and I still find ourselves going to bed around 8pm (midnight at home) and getting up at 4am (8am at home) so far. We’re on Kauai’s east side so that’s okay […]

A Cool Facebook Status Update

A friend just posted this (and I know we’ve all been there after an all-nighter with Mr. Potter or Ms. Everdeen or whoever)… I nearly called in book for work today: “I’m really sorry but I’m feeling really book today and I don’t think I can come in. I really don’t feel my work will […]

How Excited Am I For Hawaii?

Feeling like I’ve exhausted every web site, guidebook and YouTube clip in existence, I find myself paging through the online weekly flyer for a Kauai-based supermarket, wondering if the prices are really as bad as they say (not really) and thinking about some of the different meals we’ll be able to make in our condo […]

Saturday Snap – Pace Recites “The Night Before Christmas” (With Some Help From Daddy)

This is actually from last Christmas but I thought it was appropriate to put up this year, especially since my “Saturday Snap” falls on Christmas Eve. (If Pace’s variations on the original aren’t drastic enough for you, there’s also this.)

Love Actually – Which Couple Actually Stays Together The Longest? (And Other Christmas Traditions)

Entertainment Weekly has a poll on which of the many inter-connected couples in my favourite Christmas movie, “Love, Actually” actually stays together the longest with Jamie and Aurelia (the writer and his assistant) currently with a comfortable lead of 40% of votes cast. They did independently decide to learn each others’ language so that’s some […]
