[ getting back to life ]

While it certainly appears to be another volcano crater, this is actually where piping hot lava meets the ocean.

Some of the better shots from our recent vacation to the Big Island can be seen at the link below; we visited Kilauea volcano crater, watched some lava flow into the ocean (seen above), drove by some coffee farms in Kona, chilled with the sea turtles at Black Sand Beach … full write-up to come soon.  Maybe.

For the record, I did write the other night, when I’d promised to do so.  I just didn’t finish writing any of my half-thoughts, and haven’t had time to get back to them.  Most everything I write lately is on my Treo, so it’s painstaking at best.

I do, indeed, have plenty to say.  I need to be writing.  I can’t help but feel that at least some small portion of my recent angst stems from a lack of emotional output.

We will be heading over to the big island for a few days here shortly, so I can pretty much guarantee nothing but Tweets for at least another week.  I am hoping my bluetooth keyboard will start behaving so I can at least scrawl some half-decent material while away.  (Of course, with a cap of about 40 wpm on the keyboard, I’m almost better off just sticking to the phone - I believe I’ve reached 35 wpm with just my two thumbs.)

And I’m rambling.

And tired.

So tired.

I am going to write - tonight.  I swear it!  I promise!  Honest!

Returning home with lilE on a mostly normal DC-10 with legit airline seats. See y'all in ten hours!
