Putting the Sun in Sunday
Sunday, April 20, 2008
Well, this is officially week two of our vacation, and of all things, that means its time to do the laundry. Probably the only downside to a two week vacation that we've come across so far.
Its absolutely perfect out here today. We had a late breakfast at the buffet, and while I'm sitting out in front of the laundry room, Cindy is out by the pool soaking up the sun. There isn't a cloud in the sky (aside from the mauka clouds near the mountains). She probably couldn't had hoped for a nicer day.
We didn't have any real plans for today, other than watching the hockey game this morning (unfortunately Detroit beat Nashville). We found this rib and rotisserie place north of here for dinner. If it turns out to be good, we'll post about it.
That about does it for now. I'm working with some of the whale video I shot yesterday from our lanai, and hope to get that uploaded today.
Aloha and Mahalo.

I enjoy the title of this post! :)
By the way, we are big hockey fans, too. Our team is the Carolina Hurricanes who did an epic choke job to not win the Southeast Division and not go to the play offs. I love play off hockey, so it's been disappointing not to get to go to any play off games for 2 years in a row....especially after winning the Stanley Cup in 06. Oh well.
Enjoy more of Maui!
Thanks Sheila. We were watching those last few cames with Carolina trying to clinch the third spot. If it helps, we're not cheering for Washington.
Being lifelong Chicago Blackhawk fans, we've been used to watching everyone else in the playoffs, and even joke about which teams in the playoffs have the most ex-Hawks (Jeremy Roenick on the Sharks is our latest hope).
Just like Chicago Cubs fans out here, we like to say "There's always next year", but with this past season with Kane and Toews, we can't wait for October.
There is something fun about watching hockey here in Hawaii, besides the fact that its on first thing in the morning. This is the third time we've been here during the playoffs, and once during the finals. I'm not surprised Hockey is the last sport on people's mind here, but seeing that I used to coach high school hockey, I have done some checking and Maui has something of a roller hockey league around here somewhere. :)
You're definitely a good guy in my book for not cheering for the Caps. :)
I think the Canes got Samsonov from the Blackhawks, didn't they? He's been a great for the Canes. He's an excellent skater. I read last week that he got a new contract from the Canes.
By the way, I used to live near Chicago. First in Evanston for a summer internship. My first job out of college was in Deerfield. My first MLB game was at Wrigley in the bleacher seats. So, I'm a bit of a cubbies fan. :)
Well, it took an extra period, but the Flyers knocked out the Caps. Cheers.
It is definitely a small world. I was born and grew up in Skokie, just next to Evanston. And I currently work in Buffalo Grove, right next to Deerfield.
