What did you watch?

 
I'm making a big push this weekend to finish everything I can before I
go on vacation next weekend. So the focus was on grading/prepping
stuff, not TV watching.

 
Going anywhere fun?  Although staying home and decompressing can be
loads of fun too.

 
Hawai-EYE-EYE.

 
Nice!
 
 

I'd actually have preferred to stay home this year, but for various
reasons, that wasn't going to happen. So I need to make sure that I get
everything done before I leave, 'cos I'm not going to get much done in
Hawaii!

 
Stop by 5.1 and maybe McCarrott will hand you a badge from his Drawer o'
Badges and let you work a case with them. Maybe even invade the
sovereign territory of a foreign consulate or something.

 
I used to live in Hawaii when I was very very young, maybe 4 or 5 years
old.  I remember going to an amusement park called "Castle Park" which
apparently hasn't existing in decades.  Other than that, I just remember
the weather was always pleasant.

 
I like the place but… Pleasant? Summer, when it’s 95°F and 95% humidity.

sat in the laundromat putting dimes in the dryer trying to get our towels
dry for hours until somebody explained that it would never ever ever
happen. All you could ever have were hot wet towels.
 
A friend of mine was smarter and they vacation in Hawaii for Christmas/New
Year’s when they have big fireworks displays.

 
Fortunately for me, I only have the good memories.  If you can call the
vague blurs memories.  Although I do remember the kid who lived across
the street had a bunch of Star Wars action figures.  As far as the
weather goes, I just remember it always being nice.  Or raining and then
once the rain stopped it was immediately nice again.

I was a teenager every time I was there. My dad built the Kuilima resort
(now the Turtle Bay Hilton) on the North Shore and used to commute (!) From
Phoenix.
