It was a chilly walk over to Trader’s to buy fresh ingredients for comfort food: chicken and rice tonight, cauliflower cheese tomorrow night.

Steeper Every Time…
Hiked down to the spot where Captain James Cook met his demise when he violently tried to induce ‘good behavior among the natives.’ Every time we hike this hot, dusty in-and-out trail it seems to get steeper. It’s one of those hikes you’re happy to start and grateful to finish.
Remote Plant-Watering
Watered our plants back in Minneapolis without getting out of bed in Kona.
Family Lefse Recipe
Today, Dwight’s mom couldn’t find her recipe for lefse, a Christmas staple for Norwegian descendants. He forwarded a scan of the recipe she uses from our digital recipe book.
Lab Draw In Paradise
Hiked, labs, Target run, late lunch in beach bar, nap. Life is good. Labs: Waited near palm trees for a blood draw to build the case to be accepted into a phase 2 clinical study. Grateful I can travel while staying on top of my prostate cancer.
LAX Between Flights
Sea mist rolled in as we went for a walk between flights at Los Angeles LAX. In the foreground, a metro line is under construction, eclipsing the instantly recognizable Theme Building. LA is a great city to explore using transit, but, for us, not today.
Tip The Fridge
Dinner tonight: tip-the-fridge galette, with a tip-the-fridge salad on the side. Tomorrow we travel.
Lizard Lounge
I always smile when I cycle past Lizard Lounge.
Inventing Needs
Did something totally nerdy: bought a steeply discounted TicWatch Pro 3 GPS watch. It arrived about 3 hours later, although I had not specified a rush. Spent much of Sunday afternoon coming up with use cases to address requirements I didn’t have when I woke up this morning.
Pushing Back
Walked past Hubert Humphrey, mayor of Minneapolis 1945–1948. Generally I dislike statues, but this one reminds me of a person who changed a city that was the “anti-Semitism capital” of the country, and pushed back against blatant discrimination against African Americans.
