Woke up at 3:30AM and finally got outta bed at 5:30AM. Went downstairs and had a cup Kona Coffee and Banana Bread on Kalakaua Avenue, watched all the tourists. Took off for work at 8:00AM.

A Lovely Day in Paradise
Work in Honolulu calls again. Day 1 wake up at 5:00AM, drive to SFO. Arrive in HNL at 11:10AM (local time). Work til 7:40PM (10:40PM to me). Sheraton upgraded me to the Moana Surfrider, Woo Hoo! Ate at Cheeseburger in Paradise. I’m exhausted.

Cat Lic Plt
I saw a funny license plate frame yesterday, obviously a cat lover.
All’s fine @ 9
Today we celebrated our 9th year together. Wedded bliss I tell you. Well, that’s what she told me to say. We had dinner at Angel Fish, courtesy of Mommie. We’ll do a big celebration on Saturday… more on that later.
