My meetings ended early on Thursday, so a buddy took me out for a tour. Fortunately, the tradewinds have begun blowing again, so the crappy air that was making me have severe allergic reactions was better, especially on the far side of the island.

I find myself here in paradise… working hard during the day (yeah, really) yet being rather bored and lonely after the work day is done.
My hotel is not on a beach, but a beach is not far away. However, …

I love my job, really, and I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to travel. It’s been 28 years since I spent any significant time besides changing planes in Hawaii. My meetings and presentations are going well. I am meeting many more people and like expanding my network.
And I am the ONLY guy wearing boots. Man, so many flip-flops. Uggghhh…. but it’s the islands, that’s what they do, even if I think that the only correct place for flip-flops is in the trash.

Mother Nature is a damn tease, she is!
Last Thursday when I got home from work, I rolled the Harley out and spent an hour checking it out. I had not ridden my beloved motorcycle for almost two months because it has been so darn cold and wet.
However, that day it had warmed enough that I could ride, at least to a meeting of my riding club at my local motorcycle dealership being held that evening.

During the past week, my spouse and I have found ways to show the other how he loves him.
Truly, I am honored and blessed to have a man who loves me as deeply as he does, and I try to return the same deep and abiding love through actions — not gifts, flowers, or nights out on the town — but in little, meaningful ways.
