Hospital Update
•
I left Angie and the kids in the hospital room for a few minutes to run down the street and send out an update email. While I was gone, I got a text from my new friend Auhjun (our friendly neighborhood police officer). It said:“I am at the hospital in…

Change of plans…
•
A lot of cool stuff happened today. I left the house early to take care of a few things for the business. I arrived at the main island too early for my appointments, so I stopped by a Wi-Fi shop to update the blog and check email. While I was…
