Aloha mes amis! (Yes, I am a polyglot, thank you for noticing.)
Kevin and I have been in Maryland for two weeks now and it turns out that the mainland is mostly painfully cold and painfully dry. It is as I have always suspected- I am a hothouse flower who flourishes best in nice tropical climates. But we’re here now, so let’s see how things go once we get a kitchen and maybe a bedroom.
