It's the perfect time in Hawaii! Passing hurricanes are now bringing us much-needed rain and the occasional chilly night. I keep hoping for a BIG weather event so that Sophie and I can snuggle inside and read and nap and watch the wild, windy show. That's not likely to happen on this side of the island, but I can hope...
It's a good time to visit because airline and hotel prices are down (not that you NEED a hotel) and the beaches aren't overcrowded -- as they can get during the high season. Ironman is coming up soon (early October), but other than that one week, the tourists pretty much leave us alone until after Thanksgiving.
A couple of weeks ago, I was in the Bay Area for a short, busy week. My apologies if I wasn't able to visit with you. It was a really short visit, and Thermo had most of my time scheduled with classes and meetings and other boring stuff.
Thermo Pubs recently had a big shake up as one writer and our manager retired all in the same month. We've now hired two new writers and a new manager (an ex Cadence employee), and this visit was a chance to meet all of them. One thing this new manager said was that she expects me to visit California more often, so maybe I'll get a chance to see you in the not-too-distant future.
Or.....
You can come visit ME!
My backyard birds are very active this time of year. The juveniles are fattening themselves up and will come to a window and scold me if I fail to keep food out.
Here are some of the regular visitors to my backyard --
Well folks... that's all the news from the Big I.
Aloha!
