One of my best friends, Jesse, and his girlfriend Jenny are expecting their first child, Natalie to be born in the next few hours. I’ve been visiting the hospital every few hours and am really excited for both of them. I wish them the very best!
This past weekend my friends and I headed to the Marine Corps Base in Kaneohe for an incredible air show featuring the US Navy Blue Angels. A few months earlier, we saw the USAF Thunderbird’s down at Waikiki Beach but the Blue Angels’ performance was MUCH more exhilarating. It really makes me wish I had become a pilot. We also got to meet Patty Wagstaff and see her fly her Extra 300. She’s old enough to be a grandmother and still kicks ass in the skies.
Just got back from a week away on business in Kauai. It was absolutely beautiful. I would liken it to a Tropical West Virginia, very rural in comparison to Oahu. The island is chock-full of scenic beauty but I didn’t really get too much time away from work to go exploring. Take a look at my Flickr Photostream for some great pix taken with my Apple iPhone.
We did a little riding this weekend and my buddy Jesse made a short video to show some of the highlights. Very nice! Also, sorry about not posting anything new in an incredibly long time but I’ve been terribly busy!
Today some of my coworkers and I participated in a golf tournament up at Klipper Golf Course on the Kaneohe Marine Corps Base. It was a VERY long day, at almost 6 hours on the course. Our team was unfortunate enough to get stuck behind a very slow group and we paid the price all day. To make matters worse, I now have one of the worst sun burns I’ve had since I’ve moved out to Hawaii. I look like a damn raccoon. We came in at 3 under for the day and had a pretty good time. I posted photos in the gallery and on Flickr so if you were on the team and wanted to check out what I snapped, go for it.
