Life is short. Make the most of it. ♫ http://blip.fm/~1d4zw #
The 2nd half of this piece never fails to make me laugh, thanks to some well-known cartoons that use this. ♫ http://blip.fm/~1d58n #
Getting late. Calling it a night. G’nite all… #

Back to the old grind. Other than a delayed desktop patch, no apparent probs on Monday morning here. (Whew.) #
Gotta make sure I have enough allergy meds on hand for New Year’s Eve. Last year was torture on my poor nasal passages… #

Finally got a backup power strategy for my 2m radio: battery > inverter > power supply > radio. Clunky but it works. Ready for next outage. #
Ran 2.16 miles in 22 minutes and felt good. An easy 2 mile run to Enchanted Lake School and back. #

Power back on in Enchanted Lake. #hipower #
Anyone know if power is up in the University area yet? Will be headed there at 11:00. #hipower #
I’m at Zippy’s Restaurants (4134 Waialae Ave, Honolulu, HI) – http://bkite.com/03gA9 #
It’s absolutely crowded at Zippy’s Kahala. Busy feeding the post-blackout crowd. – http://bkite.com/03gAg #
It took me half an hour to get from Kailua to Dole Cannery. It might take me another half an hour to find a pkg space. #
Never mind. Some malfunction at the ticket machine causing spillover onto the street. I’m in, lots of space. #

Up a little early, hoping I can get to work early and leave that much earlier in the PM. #
You may have heard me complain about this before, but one thing I hate about midweek holidays: Fridays that feel like Mondays. #
Thought this would be a quiet day…not to be. At any rate, the weekend’s here. But first, a funeral for a FOAF… #
Power just went out @ Zippy’s Makiki… #
Zippy’s closing. No food. We’re calling it a night. It’s gonna be interesting going home. Piikoi is jammed with traffic from AlaMo. #
KSSK off the air. #
Caller from Ala Moana area says Pensacola, Piikoi, and Kapiolani jammed. #hipower #
Shari Shima from KHNL on KSSK. More thunderstorm activity offshore. #hipower #
Peter Rosegg from HECO: Four power lines were lost, causing the outage. #hipower #
Only in Hawaii: msgs in Japanese, Spanish, Korean, and Ilocano, all on KSSK, in the space of three hours. #hipower #
Kahe plant gen #1 started, Honokai Hale has power. Slow process is starting. #hipower #
5 United flights out of HNL rescheduled to tomorrow AM. #hipower #
Reports of power on near Waiau power plant. #hipower #
Well, I’m gonna head off to bed. Say a prayer for the HECO folks tonight. Hope to wake up to juice. ‘Night all. #hipower #

Good morning and Merry Christmas to all! #
Shrimp curry for Christmas dinner. Might go out for a run later once it digests. #
Finally migrated Quicken onto new computer with up-to-date data. A small comfort in these economically uncertain times. #

With the shortest days of the year upon us, it’s harder and harder for me to wake up. Fortunately, traffic isn’t a prob now. #

Been pretty slow on the phone today. Maybe some doctor’s offices have already taken the holiday off… #
I’m at Kahala Mall Shopping Center (4211 Waialae Ave, Honolulu, HI 96816, USA) – http://bkite.com/03adQ #
OK, choir rehearsal time. Gotta get this medley polished. Tweet you later. #

Busy day at church ahead. Special choir performance, then some stuff for Xmas lunch I was asked (at last minute) to do. #
Long day at church finally over. Now to go home and attack unmown lawn and cut it down to size. After a nap. #
Ran 3.29 miles in 35 minutes and felt alright. Loop around the neighborhood. Had to walk a little on mile 3. Trying to re-establish my h … #
