When Gayle and I married (48+years ago), it was not on our dance card to struggle against fascism, extreme hatred, anti-DEI, anti-intellectualism, extreme racism verging on hysteria ... in our retirement years. As we watch our carefully planed retirement fade, and attacks on SS, and on Democracy deepen, I wanted to find a happy place this morning. So much of our lives together is stored on film and print that have not been digitized that I settled for a trip to Hawaii' in 2001.

This at Waipi'o Valley and beach with our daughter to have fun and to explore the magnificent normal fault scarps - a happy memory.
