Default Another day in Paradise

Greetings from Waikiki, guys and gals. My wife sent her dad, me and my son here as our Christmas present. Actully, her 87 year old dad needed two chaperones but what can I say, it's still a trip to Hawaii. We came with him so he could go around to the Arizona and Missouri battleships. We also went to the Punchbowl which is a National Cemetary where a lot of his buddies are buried. It has been really great to see him tie up WWII for himself. Have had some good food, some great beaches and seen some very good looking women. My son David has gone snorkeling a couple of times. Back to winter next week. See ya.

Talking Fred!

Fred,

You are disgusting! After chopping melting snow and ice from the church's front steps all day and then I read you are in Hawaii. It just isn't fair.

But, don't be too alarmed! I forgive easily! I still love ya!

Seriously, I am happy for you.

Keith

Post I need to move to Calif. or Hawaii

I'm just tooooooo old for this winter stuff anymore. When I was young I wondered about them there "snowbird" going south every winter. But, now I understand.

Keith

PS guess what?/ I'm actually starting to like Arnold as governor, at least he has the pizzazz to govern, unlike Davis, the eternal nebbish. We'll see

Thumbs up DOC FRED

I'm happy for you guys! One of the best winter destinations in the world. I don't have to tell ya to have fun; it just comes natural in Hawaii. My best to your father-in-law. Have nothing but respect for those WWII guys. Plus, you GOTTA have respect for an 87yr. old that needs 2 chaparones to keep him out of trouble .

KEITH: Low 60s today. Was out running around this afternoon with the windows down. No, don't miss the shoveling, chipping, and scraping.......and that's just to start your car .

Have fun Doc! Met your father in law.......I agree, he definately needs a chaperone. Actually tell Shirley he really needed 3! I should be there also.

Keith,

I with you guy! Heck, it was only 65 here yesterday. Can't wait for this winter to end!
