Probably my last tweet: I’m on Mastodon as @[email protected]; you can find me on Facebook as dssinger; my blog is readthisblog.net. I might still have a MySpace account, but if so, it’s lost in the mists of time. Twitter was fun while it lasted.

But that’s marriage for you—took me awhile to understand, but it creates an exceptional class of people. And same-sex marriage creates an exceptional class of gays. ALL LGBTQ ppl shouod he afforded the rights given to married ppl, not just the married few.

I ordered a few things from Amazon after we got back from Hawaii for delivery to the nearby locker. I was happy to see that they'd combined two of them (a filter for my wet/dry vac and a card of...

It was still windy this morning, so it's just as well that we were leaving Maui instead of planning to snorkel. All of our travel was uneventful; perhaps the most interesting thing to report was...

It was so windy this morning that the resort cancelled the Craft Fair, so I didn't get a chance to buy another fish-printed aloha shirt as I had hoped. Instead, we walked the Beach Walk and enjoyed...

The winds picked up overnight, as predicted, so we didn’t even try to snorkel this morning. Instead, we walked the Beach Walk. We saw a couple of snorkelers, a few swimmers, and even some folks out...

One of my favorite things about Kaanapali is the Beach Walk. It's a rare day that doesn't see us walk there at least a short distance (even if it's only getting from one part of the Westin...
