Leave of Absence?

Hello everyone! I’m back and was going to write a review on a book I just read but I feel as if I need to explain my disappearance the last two months. This last summer I was fortunate to get to move back to Hawaii which is where my family raised me from a teenager and I have spent many years to help my parents retire. I thought it was going to be great, I mean the weather is awesome, I have fantastic friends here and a job I really like. Unfortunately I’ve gotten very sick and we recently discovered it’s a reaction to the vog (the nasty ash that comes out of volcanos) that has been drifting here from the Big Island. As a kid Maui never really had a big problem with this but with new vents opening on the volcano our air quality has gotten worse and worse. So I have had to decide to leave Hawaii and move back to the mainland. The combined being sick and trying to make moving plans is making me very neglectful and for that I do apologize. I should be off the islands by the end of the month but the doctors warn me that it may take time for my body to heal so I have to confess that my post may continue to be sporadic for another few months. Sick with me kids I hope to be back in fighting form soon!

Thanks for listening and hope you like the review to follow!

2015 in review

This was our first year getting one of these, and since our blog started in September I’m excited to see how we did!

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 6,900 times in 2015. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 6 trips to carry that many people.
