And of course, I had to head down [...]

Aloha,
Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that I probably won’t be posting much (if at all) for the next couple of weeks. In a couple of hours, we’re off to Hickam AFB to try to catch a Space-A hop back to the mainland.

On Wednesday the kids and I will be signing up for a Space-A flight back to the mainland. Justin will be returning next year, but Jordan will be staying in North Carolina with her mom. She’s been back with me for 2 years now, and seems like the time has just flown [...]

Todds (better than Dennys) Egg and Potato Skillet

Ok, it may not look pretty, (I’ve never been to cooking school) but boy does it taste good.

Today, I thought I’d try something different and share a quick and easy recipe. I do a lot of the cooking for our family, and one of my favorite meals is “breakfast for dinner” … and one [...]

Today’s Hawaii Picture of the day is my daughter Jordan riding a wave on her boogie board. This is kind of a family tradition. When I lived here in Hawaii as a kid, we used to go to Bellows every weekend … and I pretty much spent all day out on the waves.

Today’s Hawaii Picture of the Day is more Birds. This little finch is originally from Australia, but I can tell you at least in my neighborhood, we’ve got plenty of them here in Hawaii.

Iroquois Point Mini Mart

… or as my wife likes to call it, “my favorite store”.

Seriously, this little NEX mini-mart is definitely one of the conveniences of living here in Iroquois Point. I probably do average at least one visit a day to the mini-mart … the days I don’t go are made up for on the days [...]
