Honolulu March 2011
Work calls again in Honolulu. I usually don’t make the effort to eat well as I hate eating alone and am usually too tired to call anyone. This time I made an effort to break some of my habits and made dinner commitments. I flew in Tuesday about noon and worked until 5:30 (13 hr …
