Tara is a local Hawaiian and is ready for a change of scenery. Too much of a good thing, as the saying goes. Not only that, but she is moving closer to family, a better job, and near a vet specialist for her hypochondriac dog. Tara, I wish you the best and thanks for being such a great roommate!
As for me, I have already moved into my friend Danny's place. It works out well seeing that we are the only two single guys from work. Oddly enough, that isn't an exaggeration. We are literally the only two single guys out of twenty plus. Anyway, the new place is across the street from the old, so moving wasn't as painful as it could have been. That's not to say that it wasn't painful. I don't understand how I can have so much junk at such a young age. I think it stems from my "just in case" mentality. Of course I can only recall a couple of times that I actually used any of the items in that category, yet here I am carting college text books and clothes I never wear into a new place. Maybe when I try finding places for all of my junk I will apply the teachings of Henry David Thoreau and simplify simplify simplify. Here's hoping.
The new place isn't quite as nice as the old, but it's a little bigger. The carpets are faded and the walls are mismatched colors, but who really cares? It is a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom place. The thing I really like is that there is an upstairs. It makes the place seem so much bigger. The best feature of all is not the fact that we face a parking structure with bright fluorescent lights, but that we are less than a mile from Kailua Bay and the trade winds never stop blowing through the apartment. It just goes to show how perfect the weather is in Hawaii. We don't have A/C, we don't use fans, and there is obviously no heater. All we have to do is leave the windows open and the temperature is always perfect. Gotta love that.
Hopefully next weekend I can get some sailing in. It has been way too long...

I usually throw stuff away during each move. And by 'stuff' I mean Mike's things.
