- Since we'll be celebrating here in a few minutes – Happy New Year, Denver! #
- Happy New Year, California. Watching fireworks going off over at the Sheraton, plus some on the beach. Legal here in HI – on sale at Costco. #
- All others have gone to bed, save me, M, K. Sitting around and reading: a nice way to end 2009 together. #
- BookReview: "Princep's Fury" by Butcher. Bk 6. More hi fantasy, dire threats, triumphs, tragedies; too large a cast, but still gripping. 4/5 #
- Oddly enough, 2010 looks a lot like 2009. No flying cars, home robots, star travel. Just funny-looking dates. #
- Let's see – we'll get 01/11/10, 10/10/10, 08/09/10, 12/11/10. Plus Euro MM/DD reversals. Any other fun patterns coming up? #
- Just heard, then saw, Glendora HS march by in the Rose Parade, complete with bagpipes and "Scotland the Brave.". Go, Tartans! #
- Kaua'i is a lot like England: every place is much closer than you think it's going to be from looking at the map. #
- Lunch at Bubba's in Kapa'a. Artery-hardening burger grill goodness. Off to Hanalei! #
- Best picture not captured: beautiful palomino pony in verdant field, looking around, with egret casually standing on horse's hindquarters. #
- Best Guide Book on trip: "The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook" by Andrew Dought (Wizard Publications). Chatty, insightful, organized, USEFUL. #
- Kauai is beautiful. Kauai is scenic. Kauai has 11 zillion power and phone lines running everywhere. Makes it challenging to take photos. #
- Time to drink up our surfeit of wine and start (sniff) packing for home. Fly to Calif. tomorrow. But date night tonight for M and me. Yay! #
