Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted. It has really been one heck of a week. I am super tired, because even when I am able to sleep, I’m so stressed out that my dreams are all over the place.

This is going to sound weird, but I’m super curious: Does anybody know what happened to the hen that used to wander around in the yard of that house on Pi‘ikoi? If you live in Honolulu, you know which house I mean – it’s the one on the right as you make the turn onto [...]
