Dreaming of Maui...

...and my friend the humuhumunukunukuapua'a







Almost Heaven, West Makaha,
high-ridge mountain, crystal-clear blue water.
All my friends there hanging on da beach,
young and old among them,
feel the ocean breeze.

Country road, take me home,
to the place I belong,
West Makaha, Mount Ka'ala.
Oh take me home, oh country road.

Procrastination

Ahh, minesweeper... so many dull moments successfully avoided.

Sunshine!

An amazing thing happened today in Oxford...

It was completely sunny!

In honor of this extraordinary event,
here are a few photos from my walk
into city center this afternoon.

The Radcliffe Camera


While heading south on St. Giles,
I snapped a quick photo of Martyr's Memorial...


...And then the spire at St. Mary's
where the Oxford Martyrs were tried in 1555.


Buses on High Street.

Today I met Ambika for afternoon tea on High Street.
I am thrilled that she will be in Oxford for the next week.
There is nothing better than English teatime with wonderful friends.

Beautiful Bella

This photo of me and Bella is currently my profile pic, but as Matthew pointed out, it's sooo small as a thumbnail image (and Bella is the most gentle, adorable, lovable dog ever), so here we are again!
