So, this is my first post on my fist blog! I'll figure how to customize my page later but this will do for now. Maybe this is a good way to update family and friends on my life here in Hilo, Hawaii.

Hilo is a small and slow town, at least compared to the area in Southern California where I grew up. For the most part, the people here are warm and friendly, and welcome strangers like me into their lives. This island is a great place to raise kids, but there is not much here for them when they grow up. Over the next few years, my kids will have to choose a path that will most likely take them off of this island. It's probably for the best so they can get out and experience different cultures, but hopefully they will come back one day to raise their families.

I guess this is good enough for a start. In future blogs, I'll probably be writing about some of the fun stuff I do around here, like kayaking and fishing, and also about some of the not-so-fun stuff like work!

Aloha!
