Happy Thanksgiving!

Went to see a family friend perform. This is the only pic I have from the night. Sonia and my brother, George.

#96: Maximize Credit Card Rewards I added the final credit card to my now very small collection. This American Airlines friendly card should help with all of the Dallas travel.

Happy 24th!

#94: Read 10 New Books With business puttering along, learning how to travel on the cheap.

Good Bye, Kauai

Our second trip to the North Shore in Hanalei Bay cemented our connection to the island. It’s the tropical version of Gustavus, Alaska for me and one that I want to revisit over and over again.

Last Day in Princeville

#44: Star gaze. Few places reveal the night sky quite like the South Pacific.

Snorkelin’

Kauai

We took a helicopter tour of the island. These pictures and video couldn’t do it justice. I’ve never been so blown away by an area/location/territory.

A room with a view.

Arrived in Princeville just in time for happy hour.

It’s that time of year to start throwing in the towel on some goals. Let’s start with these five: 11. Take the top off of the Bronco. (Maybe next year) 25. Baseball game at a stadium I’ve never been to. (Why I didn’t spring for a game in Kansas City I’ll never know) 28. Reroof the garage. (There are much bigger fish to fry.)…

Made it back to LA in time to have dinner and see Kinky Boots at the Pantages with my Dad and Georgeanne. I’m not afraid to say that Kinky Boots is the best transexual themed play I’ve ever seen.

This is why we need to get prechecked.

Scene of the crime.

Fresh Kusshi Oysters in the middle of the Nevada dessert. We’re living in the Golden Age.

One of the worst places to be when you have an upper respiratory virus. Vegas, baby!

Cough Virus from Hell

If the virus doesn’t kill me, Sonia may.

I used to enjoy his writing a lot more. Think I’ll quit him at this one.

Record breaking attendance today for Brit’s last game of the season. All of the Aunt’s, Uncles, Grandparents and Cousins were there to cheer on her 1-0 win over Long Beach State.

Legendary

3 in 5 years. Those childhood migraines were worth it.

Bride diet. Not. Nervous World Series post. Yes.

Highlanders lost a must win game and will miss the playoffs this year.

Had to do it. Wish I hadn’t.

Good times.
