  1. No snow is definitely one of the great things about living in Hawaii!

  2. Ha! I might have done this one. Although I’d have trouble with the 8 TV shows part.

    I can’t believe you aren’t looking forward to Saturday. I sure am!

    Quack! Quack!

  3. I’d like to see a photo of Nalu!

    I wish our winter was like yours! :)

  5. You tagged me?!! Oh how fun. In fact, as I was reading this and your answers I was thinking “This is a good tag”….so be it. I’ll get to it soon. But first, I MUST help you bandage the bloody hands of yours!! Removing glass without gloves?!!! Whoa. And H-1. I laughed at that when we were on the island driving it…wondering just where the ‘interstate’ would go. In fact, all the time we were there….’til I got home and looked it up. And I’ll be…interstate is not particularly ‘interstate’…from one state to another…it’s more ‘innerstate’. Learned something I did!

    • Well I’m glad you are going to enjoy the tag. Most likely since you have been here, we now have and H-3 as well as our H-1 and H-2. And the H-3 is a beautiful drive when you get over on the windward side. The view is spectacular :)

  6. Your winter definitely sounds nicer than ours!

    I am wondering what could be in that post you’ve been working on since Dec. 21.

  7. I used to watch the desperate housewives but now I think it is not so good anymore. I couldn’t think before I speak, my mouth is always quicker as my mind, lol !

  8. Ah, you got me! Well, this is a fun one and now I know what I’ll be doing this morning. I may be a little late getting it posted because of monitoring skywatch, but I’m looking forward to doing this one! As I was reading yours, I thought about what you wrote on my blog yesterday — great minds think alike!! Have a great day, Thom!!

  9. I like your winter list the best. After so many years in Latin America, I prefer the milder winters that are more like springtime. A little jealousy here :)

  10. Snow is the best thing about winter – and scarves are such a cool accessory, no sweating outside, don’t have to get in a car that feels like a million degrees, the air smells crisper, the light is a cleaner less hazy light, ice cream cones won’t melt and drip, and my favorite constellation – Orion is out in the evening sky.

  11. ROFL at learning to wear gloves !

    Enjoy the rest of your lovely shorts-wearing winter : we’re snowed in again here, with fog this time. Grrr.

  12. great list Thom. I love 24 and CSI New York.
    Happy Day.

  13. I guess you’re into dramas huh…I’m more into reality shows! LOL! The only show on that list I’ve ever watched is Desperate Housewives. I’ve never watched an episode of Lost.

    I haven’t been to the Chart House in a looong time. I like the Shack too!

    • LOL…LOST got so complicated last season. I couldn’t stand it but suffered through it. I haven’t been to the Chart House in a long time but I like it :)

  14. Love your list. Not a lot of folks would “look forward to the old teeth brush! Always entertaining!

  15. hey, where did my comment go?

    you know i’m a rule breaker and will not do things the way i’m supposed to but will see what i can do – just because i like you :*)

    • LOl…well thank you. My host, Bluehost, was having server problems. It could have gotten eaten up during that. I purposely put you on here just to see what you would say LOL :)

  16. OMG that took me hours (in between phone calls lol) Thanks for tagging me I think ;)

  17. You tagged ME??? For THIS??? Did you NOTICE that first question??? Have you gone DAFT man? Well… Okie dokie! I’m tagged!

  18. OMG You like Fringe???? One of my favorites!!! Do you every watch the sanctuary on the Sci-fi channel? it is awesome you’de like it
    xoxoxoxoxoxox

  19. Not sure this will fit anywhere on mine but I’ll give it a look.
    I found your answers interesting. Fringe without the lead in Bones makes no sense to me.
    I read your comments on Winter and I hate the fact that we got all the cold and the snow.

    • I love Fringe…No worries if you don’t do it. I just thought it would be fun tagging you just to see what you say LOL :) It’s all true about the snow :)

  20. Oh crap, you are passionate about politcs… I better be careful about what I say about it rofl!… The things you love about winter are just great. I sooo enjoyed reading all this. I also love it when work is pau :-) Thanks, Thom. You always make a tag look nicer and livelier when you answer it.

    • LOL…Oh please..your’s was excellent. You never have to be careful what you say…just say it…and I’ll fire something right back LOL :)

  21. I liked your answers, but like Quilly I’d have problems with the 8 TV Shows since I don’t watch TV. Oh if you have a mad desire for lots of snow and cold, Westjet has direct flights from the Islands to Calgary. :)

    Take care my friend.

  22. One thing for sure Thom, you love blogging. You have so many posts in one day! Like you, we have no winter, so no snow. I love the tropical weather!

  23. YES to Desperate Housewives, Grey’s, and Brothers and Sisters!
    I did not care for All My Children’s anniversary show – it could have been so much better. Greenlee – will she make it?
    Snow – six inches on my deck and it’s pouring down as I type!!

    • YIKES…You can have the snow my friend. Greenlee is going to make it. They are so setting all this up for the cat fight of the century between her and Erica :)

  24. I realized I forgot to comment on your answers. You of course have amazing taste in TV shows. I think you have done a great job of learning to be positive!

    And you do say “pfffft” all the time!!!

  25. Happy New Year THOM!

    I am so envious of your Hawaiian winters. ou brag about them often. I forgive you because I would too! Nice post. 40th Anniversary All My Children? people still watch the stories? I remember my grandmother was adamant about her stories!

    Peace Brother.

    • Happy New Year to you my friend. :) Yeah…I love the weather here. It is nice just to sit back and watch everyone else deal with the snow :)

  26. I thought I’d escaped the tagging… and then I saw Melli’s post on this meme.

    I’m one of the weird ones who actually LIKES winter!
