I ended up not going to the farmer's market with the family yesterday. Instead, I lounged on the beach while listening to David Sedaris' Me Talk Pretty One Day with the sound of the surf in the background. Later we went to K-Mart to see if anything good was on sale.

Yesterday was Krystine's 21st birthday! Yay, Krystine!

Not much is new here in Hawaii. It's pleasant, and the sun is milder than it was in September. That means I can go tan for an hour in midday without getting burnt to a crisp. Also, the nights are pleasant. I like being outside at night, and in Hawaii, it's really nice in the evening this time of year. I think winter is my favorite time to visit, maybe because the climate isn't quite so extreme then.

I'm also leaving a couple days earlier than expected. Thanks, Brian, for the surprise! New Year's Eve will be fun.
