how much is enough?

Consider this: 1 US gallon = 128 US fluid ounces Here on Maui, a gallon of regular gasoline sells for about $2.599 while 16 Oz’s of Starbucks coffee goes for roughly $1.75. I’m sure you’ve seen others do the math, but bear with me. Using these figures, a gallon of Starbucks coffee will cost you … Read more

why don’t you get a job

The red queen and I climbed the West Maui Mountains, through a jungle and over a few rickety rope bridges all in the name of exercise. I ran across these guys jumping off a waterfall and into a deep pool. They were having the time of their lives risking them. Sometimes the best experiences are … Read more

crack the code

When in doubt, do it yourself, I always say. My host won’t participate in my domain mapping scheme. Am I surprised? Not really, since they don’t want to do much of anything that I want to do. I wanted to make sure people who still had my old blog address (literalspace.net) to get here without … Read more

pretty young thing

Few can argue that there are plenty of reasons for disliking Michael Jackson. Aside from being richer than most Americans, which is reason enough, he is a few buckets short of a full load. If I was a parent, I wouldn’t let my kid be alone with him, but not because I think he’ll touch … Read more

better off without a wife

I’m up way too late and this is the reason why. See what happens when random strangers post comments on my blog? I dig in deep trying to figure out what they’re all about by reading their archived posts. This particular chap has not only a gift for storytelling, but has the stories to tell. … Read more

here comes the sun

Looking at this image, where would you think it was taken? I would hazard a guess that most people would attribute this view to Hawaii or the South Pacific. It is in fact an image I took while driving to SFO one morning. I’ve spent quite a bit of time at airports in my traveling … Read more

The One About Death & Taxes

I’m not afraid of dying. In fact, I’m kind of looking forward to the whole process. I like living, but I’ve been there and done that. I’m one of those people who likes new experiences, even if they’re experiences you only get to try once. Of course, there are those people who get to die … Read more

The One About Where I Am

As I was getting everything squared away here on v5 of my blog, it dawned on me that I’m not very nice to people when they fail to meet my expectations. Ok, that’s not true. I have a general disrespect for most people, but I hide it really well when I want to. That said, … Read more

The One Where I Hose My Site

Never work on a MT-based site when you’re bored. Never. Seriously. Don’t do it. I’m still adjusting things, fixing links, wearing a skirt, etc. Comment if you like, just know that I respond best to critique preceeded by the words, “Hey asshole!”

The One About Blue Skies

As birthdays go, mine was great. I read, I relaxed, I napped. How is that different than anyother day you may ask? Well, it’s not. The only difference is that it was my birthday and that made it just a little bit better. I don’t know about you, but birthdays just make everything a little … Read more
