Forced Vacation 12/15/2007
 

Not that I'm complaining AT ALL, but there was a tiny little technical glitch while we were over on the Big Island.  Dan's computer screen died and, since we were only going to be in Kona for four more days, we decided not to buy a new screen just for those four days.

So...no blog, no Lolowrimo, no emails.  It was tough!

We played golf four times in six days.  We ate yummy food (mostly at home but we did go to a wonderful cafe in Holualoa for lunch one day and also to Pesto in Kawaihae on another afternoon.

We watched movies in the evening, hung out in the hot tub in the afternoons, enjoyed brownies kindly sent by a friend (thanks, Erik!), cleaned the stores of their supplies of a brand of Kona coffee that we like, and read books.

Then, as we were packing to leave yesterday, we saw two whales from the lanai--spyhopping, slapping the water with fins, and generally acting like whales.  Very fun!

I'm back on the Lolowrimo wagon today, already logging 1,339 words for the day.  I recalculated my goal to compensate for the missing days and will need to put in just over 1,200 per day to reach my goal for December.  I'll keep you posted!

Looking forward to the Baldridge Family Christmas party tomorrow in San Diego!

Thank the heavens - I was beginning to wonder if I should send in the National Guard to determine your status - I've become an addict of this blog. Oh, wait - I can't send in the National Guard - they're all in IRAQ!

Good thing I turned up then, eh? Glad you're liking the blog enough to go through withdrawals!
