Haha - seemed like a great idea when the offspring were little and needed help remembering… on the bright side, though, last month it saved me from wining and buying big, so…

Then there are the sites which won't allow me to complete a form because they don't believe my (numerically repeating) phone number is... my phone number

Damn, looks like we'll have to start living on beer...

oh, wait

Banning blab blub is unconstitutional and against its freedom of babble....

Thank you! One more thing... the reason your photo caught me is that there is a passage in "Molokai" where a group of young girls actually climbs that cliff (!!!) in order to socialize with locals for one night. Although the novel is fiction, it is based upon reality and old stories, so that segment stayed with me.

No, I didn't know about that one. I just received a sequel to "Molokai", as a gift... "Daughter of Molokai"... Hope you can try the original again. It was a hard read (and I have no ties to the islands, so can't possibly understand how you feel), but I thought it very important, and riveting. Best to you!

No, it was the Brennart one. Read it 26 years ago but kept my copy and have loaned it out numerous times. Incredible story, told with talent and great sensitivity... (Oh, great, I sound like some commercial, but still!!!...) Anyway - thank you for the post.

Wow. Read the book "Molokai" a long time ago. This really makes the story more poignant... thanks for sharing.
