Being in the ocean swimming, or on the ocean racing our sailboat is where I’m happiest. We’re a sr. couple who were recently adopted by a free-ranging calico cat that we adore, she is the queen of our property. Work for J.A. Schmit - Architect in Kaimuki.

A couple of shots from this morning, a study of palms against the clouds and the Sun peeking out over the horizon (this from our cottage).

Headshot, profile.
Yup, she’s so adorable when sleeping.
Ok, she’s adorable all the time, and is truly my spirit animal.

So much for the reorganizing I wanted to do in my closet this morning…

My girl, Scout.

Post Halloween mood.
She was SO excited, and got over stimulated, by watching the kids walk past our cottage last night and she’s catching some early Z’s at 0729 now.

Grabbed this off Insta, someone here in Hawaii posted this, this is where you can find me 4x/week @ 520am (moon or no moon) for my healing morning swim with other early risers!
The left side of the rocks is the "pond" where we all swim. Outside of the rocks is the many surf breaks at Ala Moana.

Hawaii peeps! Come join us on Thursdays, from 5-6pm at the intersection of Ala Moana/Atkinson (Diamond Head entrance to Ala Moana Park).
If you're visiting our State, come on down!
We have signs if you need one. Come join the comraderie, fun and hang with other people who despise Dump.

This is the other side of Beretania Street, across from the Hawaii State Capitol.

A quick video of our Hawaii State Capitol "NO DICTATORS" Protest on 10/18/2025, approximately 10,000 showed up, lining both sides of busy Beretaina Street with some very creative signs and there were lots of inflatable costumes!

That face.

At our local Honolulu protest at the Hawaii State Capitol yesterday, lots of costumes were seen!
We had approximately 10,000 people at the Capitol, 3000 more than the last large protest.

The momentum is gaining!

Views from one side of the street to show our Hawaii State Capitol, the crowd shown was just a large on the other side of the street and protesters lined both sides of the street for blocks.

Posting to all my social media, this African Grey parrot was sitting on my dryer this morning, in Kaimuki.
I took it to the Haw’n. Humane Society where Off. Church checked it in. Bird is someone’s pet as it is tame and doesn’t bite.
Hoping to find the Owner by posting this.

The always iconic IBM Building getting ready for the holiday season.

I don’t care what it’s called now, it will always be the iBM Building to me.

Check these clouds out, this greeted me as I parked my car when I got home from swimming.

Photo from my kitchen door of our day beginning.

Shot this photo as I parked my car, could that be a plume rising behind Lana’i island, from Kilauea?
October 10, 2025 at 5:55 PM
My swimming peeps in the water, I will join them tomorrow.
Today, I walked.

Early morning swimmer just sent this to the group text.
Absolutely gorgeous!
And, yes…we swim in the dark.
