Day 11: Kekaha Kai
For as long as I can remember I've had blackeyed peas and greens on New Years Day. In Southern lore the peas are for luck and the greens for money. It seems to have worked well for us in the past so I wasn't about to let a little thing like being 3600 miles from home stand in the way of tradition.

Day 12: Coming Home
Today was our last day in Hawaii. We had only a few hours this morning to soak in a few last glimpses of our glorious Kealakekua Bay views and gorge ourselves on fresh-picked mangos (I ate two) before we had to leave for the airport.

24 Hours
In late August I took a look in the mirror and decided I didn't like what I saw. So I headed to the store and picked up a pair of running shoes, the Nike+ attachement for my Nano and was off to the races. This entry is a status report after my first 24 hours.

Bill Fillmaff vs. Mikey
Back in July I had the distinct privilege of photographing the world-renowned Bill Fillmaff playing high-stakes Texas Holdem' against Mikey... a chimpanzee. I would say more but I do believe that the pictures speak for themselves.
