Not a lot to report from the last few months. Becky and Scott came to visit. They were nice enough to invite me when they spent time in Maui, then they let me show them around Oahu for a few days. I had a great time, they were wonderful houseguests, and I was pleased by how interested in the local culture and language they were (though the language thing might be related to the fact that we were learning many new words via the bottle caps of Kona Brewing Company beer). I'll add some pictures once they forward them to me. In the meantime, there's Becky enjoying some corn on the cob at my local farmer's market.
For the first time in years, I'm actually planning to spend Christmas day with my family, so I'm very excited for that. I get to meet my nephew, see my niece that I haven't seen in over a year, and hopefully play some cards and eat some Christmas cookies. I've been feeling surprisingly in the Christmas spirit despite the delightful 78 degree weather. I've been shopping, listening to Christmas music, and am even sending a few Christmas cards. The best part of Christmas in Hawaii is that they rarely play that god awful, cloying, insufferable "Christmas Shoes" song that mainland radio stations love. Good lord, I hate that song with every fiber of my being. Also, surprisingly, we don't hear the "Mele Kalikimaka" song that often either. Who knew? With that, merry Christmas. Hope to post more in the new year.

I almost thought this was a new post. Then I realized that it is, in fact, 2010, making this more than a year old. Where are you, Kel??
