Update
November 12, 2007
I have not posted in a while because things have been quite hectic here. I am flying to Honolulu this week to spend a couple of days with my parents, go shopping, and visit Pearl Harbor before they come back to the Big Island to stay with us and have a rousing Thanksgiving. I have also been planning the trip that Brian and I are taking to Kaua’i in December. In addition to all of that, I have been preparing for various exhibitions that I will be at later this month and December. I am also in the midst of rehab for my knee which the physical therapist says that I will most likely need surgery to correct.
On Friday, Brian dropped me off in town (Hilo) and I walked around while he went to Honoka’a. I finally went to the Pacific Tsunami Museum - it was great. I also went to the Kress Cinema downtown ($1 theater) after I walked several miles and saw the Mr. Bean movie - bad, very bad… I spent time in Kalakaua Park and had a lovely afternoon.
We also went up to Mauna Kea in hopes of seeing snow but it had already melted. The standouts of the evening were seeing the Milky Way, Jupiter, and a string of comets. The last time we were up there with Brian’s parents we got to see the International Space Station move across the sky. Mauna Kea really is the finest place in the world to stargaze (obviously).
While hiking at Kalopa State Park, Brian and I ended up on a pig trail and both got stung by bees. I lost all feeling in my leg and bottom that evening and then slept for about 16 hours because of the bee sting. It has been over two weeks now and I still have pain and redness from the sting. Brian got stung on his back but he is doing fine.
I have been reading a large number of books on the economics of the poor - very interesting reading… I will talk about that in a later post.
Brian and I have been watching StarGate SG-1 now that we have finished Star Trek Voyager. It is unique and interesting…
