Time's a flyin'!
Time is flying. I cannot believe it is almost mid December already. Where in the world did November go for that matter? In less than two weeks Miss B and I will be oceanside in Hawaii. We are headed to the big island for 10 days with nothing-to-do-but-nothing! Months ago we purchased tickets, planned out what rental car to get, discussed what we hoped to do, purchased a Lonely Planet guide book to read cover to cover prior to departure. The only thing we do have planned thus far is a 4 night stay in A-frame camping structures at Hapuna Beach. The next 4 nights at Volcano National Park. A reserved economy car from Budget. Oh, and do really do whatever comes along as it arrives. Guess the guidebook will come in handy then and reading it cover to cover prior really won't help all that much. It will be an excellent way to spend Christmas holiday, trekking around a land neither of us know anything about nor have visited before. It is our first attempt at a long trip together. With any luck we will both survive without killing the respective person. No real fear of that seeing as it has been almost 6 months (will be on the 13th) and we haven't gotten to anywhere near a blow up. How has this happened? In most previous dating experiences there was always the feeling of "How can I make this work?". The key is we don't have to make anything work. It just does. I anticipate it will for years to come. It's like that, and it's a glorious feeling!
Prior to that however I do have 6 performance reviews to write (including my own). I don't wanna! It's the yearly summary of an employee's performance. Bonus and raise are based on this information. Of course folks are currently on their best behavior. If only they would work like this the entire year through!
On a neighborhood note, I awoke to a disturbing event and it didn't involve the CBBL for a change. Last night the rain was pummeling against the window at 4am. This awoke Sammy and I briefly. Rolling over to give my shoulder a break, at a glance I saw outside my window two men dressed in black taking tires off an SUV called the Excursion by Chevrolet. From a dead slumber the only thing my brain could generate was "Hm. That sure is strange. Why would you take tires off during a rainstorm?". When walking to the Lesbaru this morning, on the ground were the lug nuts from the tires. The Excursion was up on wooden blocks, all 4 tires missing. Yes indeed, during the night thugs lifted the SUV and took the fancy rims and tires right off the truck. And the Crazy Baked Bean Lady wants me to turn off my car alarm! Sheesh.

stealing the tires off an SUV... hmmm... could be the work of the Yuppie Eradication Project.. although i thought they faded out. maybe not. id like to believe it was done in the spirit of activism. especially since it wasnt your car. hopefully baked bean lady isny getting any ideas.
