We’re Good!
We certainly had an… interesting day, with early-morning earthquakes and an island-wide blackout. Fortunately for us, and most of Hawaii, there were no fatalities or serious casualties. Lots of property damage, mostly on the Big Island, and folks will be cleaning up for a while. But for the most part, it’s just one of those crazy things that will fuel small talk for weeks to come. We were offline, but wandering about town, and I was posting some photos from my smartphone, if you’re curious. Mahalo a nui loa for all the kind e-mails and messages.

Earthquake is very common in Japan too. Hopefully everything is alright with you and your family.

I’ve lived through a few nasty earthquakes in So California – you really never get used to them! Glad things are literally settling down.

Glad to hear you and yours are fine! Like Maggie, and doubtless others, my first thought when I heard about the earthquake was the Ozawa family. Continued best wishes!

The FIRST thing I thought of when I heard about the earthquake was “Man, I hope Ryan and Jen’s family is OK!”
The SECOND thing I thought of was “Man, I hope the earthquake doesn’t mess up the Lost schedule!”
Glad to hear you’re OK.
