Jim and Jack in Peru

Hi folks,

Jack and I had a great time hiking the Inca Trail in Peru for spring break. It was a challenge well worth the effort. Jack is thriving in Peru and now speaks fluent Spanish. He will be home for summer before heading off to college in the fall. I can't get over how lucky I am to have such a fine son, so independent and fun to hang out with. How did this happen?

I put a few photos on the web at

Jack left for adventures in Peru, cousin John visited, Shari celebrated a birthday with Auntie Susie, and Sierra and Jay joined in lots of fun stuff.

Gray Flannel

Sierra, Jay, and Dad are spending the weekend on Molokai. The sad news is that Gray Flannel passed away. He was a longtime family pet cat here on Molokai....as old as Jack! Here are a few shots of his grave.

Maui big wave

Here’s a few shots from Simeon and Jim’s quick trip to Maui at Thanksgiving to hang out with Dave Kalama. We hiked to the cliff that overlooks Peahi on a big day and stayed at Dave’s house. We got to watch Dave go out with Laird Hamilton on their jet skis, hang out with his dad Ilima, and try stand up surfing a little.
