because I’d forgotten how sweet it was holding hands with this sode-toting/guzzling, motorcycle-hoodied sweetheart while walking the waterfront in Seattle. In fact, I’d completely forgotten about the clemantine soda that he insisted he carry and swig himself. The other night I was editing photos from our extended vacation in Spokane and I came [...]

I’m not going to go into details for fear that I may curse or begin a long rant that will disrupt my late-night-almost-time-for-bed-ness, but for reasons completely beyond our control we are still not in our house. Our stuff was moved in on Monday morning but we still don’t own it and the seller [...]

My life right now is this out-of-balance & out-of-whack crazy/unpredictable/predictable ball of randomness. Our move from one state to another has really upheaved our lives. I can’t seem to get into a routine. We are living in a temporary rental house in the heart of Honolulu with only a few basic items. [...]
