So I’ve decided to cease and delete my auto-generated weekly twitter update posts. It feels rather redundant with a slight hint of cheating. It does keep things fresh around here, but why am I re-publishing posts from a micro-blog on my own blog?

14 days in Hawaii was truly bliss. We got to introduce my son to a lot of family and make long-overdue visits. It was a true vacation. One that makes me struggle to think back to the last one. Taking that much time off was liberating, but also an eye-opener as far as reflection goes. In short, I discovered that
- hanging out with family we don’t usually get to see on the regular can be really enjoyable
- I’d like to adopt the same Aloha spirit of generousity that received my family
- Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is simply the most fun activity that I’ve done in a long time (plus it’s a great workout!)
- Living in a desert, I envy those who have access to the ocean as its benefits are far and wide
- I miss listening to the island music in my car as it must be the cure to road rage
I found that after getting over the humidity, I really enjoyed being outdoors with the trade winds in my face. Something that I rarely feel like here in triple-digit hotness. We really explored Oahu for the first time, hitting many touristy spots and cruising around the island. Good times, indeed.
