Things to Do After New Year’s in Oahu

This is Kailua Beach on Oahu. It is so windy. Of course, it was late afternoon, about 4 PM, when Hella and I were there yesterday. But still. These people are sitting on the beach like they are lucky to be on a beach anywhere . . . in extreme wind. It was so windy my cork Hawaiian bag from Kona spun around four times.

I guess you make the best of it. Gotta hand it to people who make lemonade out of lemons. It was so windy my hair blew out of my clip, and my hair is pretty long.

Rabbit Island. Anything more to say? No, yet . . .

have to say that I really hate the new WordPress. It is not user friendly on a laptop which is where most of their users must originate. It is annoying, and it is not my adverse nature to learning something new. I can be a lemming, for example.

Consider the fact my friend Hella and I were walking down the street in Waikiki yesterday, and I said, Hey, let’s stop at Apple and look at new phones. Was not planning to buy a phone. Just browse. Well, it took 4 different sales reps, break times and all, to sell me a new phone, and I walked out with a new 10XR, without a recent update. They promised me my messages would transfer but my last update to iCloud was two weeks ago and they did not update.

Should have updated through iTunes and not trusted these young yo-yos.

Yes, proof that you want to trust these Millennials, but you really cannot. They only know what they know. They do not know, for example, that Aimee Mann has 9 albums everybody ought to listen to. Which I introduced to the Apple store in Honolulu.

They do not know that Sean Penn read a children’s bedtime story at the Bill Maher Show in Honolulu on New Year’s about what is is like when a nuclear bomb strikes. Hey, kids should know!

This is a blow-hole along the coast of Oahu.

I apologize I did not lead with this photo. Pretty cool, yes?

Lo Siento. My favorite Spanish phrase. Such conviction and sorrow — I deliver!! I spent 6 months learning Castilian Spanish to tour Barcelona and I recall primarily: Lo Siento. All in all, it is a good phrase. It will never do you wrong,

Although. I have to warn. It can be sad.

Lo Siento.

If it is not sad, it probably should be. Any sorrow . . . Otherwise you get it right the first time. But that is how we learn. Aloha!
