Year four!

New title, new look.  In May, I celebrated (and by 'celebrated,' I mean 'realized') my third anniversary of the big move to Hawaii.  I'm now two months into year four.  No plans to leave anytime soon, but I'm not staying forever, so now I need to kick things into gear so I don't leave with any regrets.  In other words, if I planned to learn to play the ukulele or surf the pipeline, this is the year for it.

Went on the Kelly Kent East Coast Tour last month.  Had a chance to see tons of friends and family.  It was nice to be home.  Just a few pics from a few legs.

Madison and Grady, my niece and nephew.  They are super fun for a 48 hour visit.  They might exhaust me if I stayed longer than that...

Mmm.  Kabob Palace.  Perhaps my favorite DC establishment.  Certainly my favorite 24 hour place.  My friends were kind enough to place what may be the first catering order in KP history.  It was just as good as I remembered.

Part of the old DC gang.

Loved the day I had to just play around in downtown Boston.  I can't believe I still miss it.

Spent some time hanging out and reading in the Public Garden.

Love this picture.  The real swans nesting in front of the fake swan boat.

Was surprised to find I was a little sad when I got back home after this trip.  Usually I'm all about being back in my own bed, but it was awfully quiet here after two weeks of nonstop playing.  Thanks to everyone who hosted me.  Nothing terribly new.  Since I've been back, it's mostly work and World Cup, not necessarily in that order.  Hope you'll come visit soon.
