Just when I thought we had the STS-134 launch trip under control, the good folks at NASA conferred with the Ruskies and decided the launch date needed to be slipped 10 days to accommodate a Progress supply vehicle. Bummer! The hot deal on Titusville hotel is gone and American Airlines gets to squeeze a few hundred bucks …
This time last Sunday, I was enjoying a second pass by the crab legs and sashimi at the Willows on Hausten Street in Honolulu. I haven’t been there in years and it was so nice to be back. Of course, it’s not quite the same as back in the days of Randy Lee, but it’s …
May 5 has been set as the official departure date. For the TDF, last year, we started in Rotterdam. This year will be a direct shot from PHX to LHR. We’ll be spending a few days in London and then off to the east. First stop will probably be Prague, but the planning is just …

The big Saturday farmer’s market/swap meet on Maui is now held in the parking lot of Maui Community College (it’s no longer officially called that, but being of Viking heritage, I’m hard to re-train.) These days, the MCC culinary school has a small booth in the market selling items baked by students and last Saturday …
