Netflix: Tears of the Sun. I must be getting sentimental in my old age. This was a hard movie to watch. The acting certain isn’t anything to write home about, but the story is incredibly compelling (at least to me). Its a dramatization of what happens in Africa, with ethnic…

BNB-Hawaii.com. We had a great time in Hawaii. Connie has a way of picking particularly wonderful properties. If you have kids or want to get away from the Maui/Waikiki tourist scene, the Kailua area is just great. Its about 20-30 minutes from Honolulu, but feels a world away. It is…
