Home again, home again

Dance-O-Rama with the Tysons/Vienna Arthur Murray school was terrific fun. Erci and I went with a group of 22 from our studio and danced until our feet were sore and danced a whole lot more. Blue Martini in Bally’s continues to serve excellent martinis, and it was probably a good thing (if mildly [...]

Brief Excursion to Schuyler and Charlottesville

Since so many great people were canned in AOL’s irrational corporate action on Tuesday, we’ve been in a bit of shock at work, and remaining management is scrambling to figure out how to do the job with far less man-power (unlike previous layoffs, this one was random and hit many of the prime workers).

We took longer at both Bonnie Doon Vineyard [...]

Murphy’s Law

Ilima tours sent the van to the wrong hotel. United flight 74 was delayed by three hours. Security was nervous about our Tiki carving. My PDA died at the airport. I think I’ll stop touching anything today so nothing else can go wrong… at least Ender’s Game by Orson Scott [...]

Foster Gardens

This morning we took TheBus to Foster Gardens, which was a lovely respite from the hustle and bustle of the city of Honolulu. The big trees at the garden are spectacular, and there are lots of orchids there too. We walked from the gardens to Chinatown and got some lunch and ball tea, [...]
