Happy Valentines Day Emily!

I Love You Emily!

While you are waiting....

Hi Everybody,

While you are waiting for me to get my act together and post something new, check out a few other blogs I am fond of:

My Mom's blog "Sandy's Refreshment Spot"
My son's blog "ATV project"
My spiritual side "A Hope and A Future"

I haven't forgotten or lost the "blogging bug", but I determined to run the blog and not let the blog run me. When I can blog, I'll blog, but when I want/need to do something else, then that's what I'll do.

I'll be back soon,

Rich

Punahou Carnival!

What happens when you leave 2 energetic little boys in a room with a deflating air mattress and a camera? You're about to find out!

Hot Wheels Around Town

I guess the economy must be doing better because I've been seeing some awesome rides showing up around town.

Updated This Blog

Hope I didn't surprise you when you logged in, but some behind the scenes tools here on Blogger have been updated and I finally took the plunge. Things may look a little different while I experiment some. Let me know if you like the new look or not.

Peace, Love and ch-ch-ch-changes!,

Someone I wish I knew

Here is someone I think I would have liked to have known. Allen Emer. He was a TV cameraman, Ham radio operator (N2YAC), hammock camper, pilot, sailor and outdoorsman. I don't know him, but I wish I had. He was killed in a lightning storm in June 2006, when a bolt struck the tree he was tied off to. He was kayak camping in New Jersey. Check out his photo album slideshow. Absolutely amazing.

Well done Allen.

Another Perspective

To hear another perspective of our Idaho vacation, check out my Mom's blog entry "Our Idaho Snow Vacation".

She gives her account of our wonderful time there. You also might want to read the next entry regarding whether or not there will be seasons in heaven (snow?).

Snowmobiling Video

Just getting around to uploading a few of the more interesting videos.

Home Sweet Home

Just a quick note to say we are home safe and everything is fine. Thanks Gary for picking us up at the airport! We even got my parents luggage routed and on the way to Maui. We're tired, but it's good to be home. Gotta catch some shut-eye before work tomorrow.

Peace, Love and Home Sweet Home,

Rich

1/2 We made it to Seattle and in 2 hours we'll be departing for Honolulu. We also were able to change our seating so that we can sit together.

Flight back

Okay, our new flight to Seattle has ALSO BEEN DELAYED. We are now leaving Boise at 2:15PM, to go to Seattle, then we'll be flying Northwest to Honolulu, arriving 9:27pm. The junk thing is that, at the moment, we are all sitting in separate rows by ourselves for the flight to Hawaii. No one seems to be able to help us change that here, so we are going to try to change it officially in Seattle. If that doesn't work, we may try to appeal to people on our own so that we can at least get an adult next to each of the boys.

Dad also was given quite a run-around by Aloha Airlines, who were going to charge him $43 to change his $19 ticket because they didn't seem to believe he had been delayed here in Boise. He had to get some ticket agent on the phone to confirm our predicament before Aloha would just make the change. Come on, where's the Aloha?

Flight problems

Apparently Portland is closed due to snow, which is why our plane is late getting here, which is why we are late, AND when we take off to Portland, we may not be able to land there, so we may be rerouted to Redmond, SO we are trying to redo our route such that we go to Seattle and then to Honolulu, arriving at 9:27pm. My parents may have to spend the evening with us and fly out to Maui the next day.

Stay Tuned....
