Maui Rain!

What a wonderful day of constant rain!  A refreshing break from the heat of the last couple of days, almost like we're not even in Hawaii.  So it's a good day to be in the office.  Get some work done... a day of brainstorming even.

It's nice actually to get some peace and quiet.  It seems like every conversation I get in lately is about the economy, and the "economic situation".  I'm not sure how I feel about this.  You know, certainly it's a good reminder to spend wisely, but we also need to keep fear in perspective.

Most of our information on this "economic situation" comes from a media blast that doesn't completely reflect the reality that we live in.  However, we buy into it.  We yield ourselves to the constant drone of "hard economic times", it scares us into a corner, and we're saturated in fear and greed.  But we don't want that.  We want to live free.  We need a reality check, absent of propaganda.

You know, my wife and I were on a flight from LA to Maui last week, and yet again I was shocked at how full the plane was.  There sure still seems to be ample of travelers, and travelers to Hawaii none the less, in these "economically difficult times".  Don't get me wrong, I know that there are people suffering out there due to some economic situations... my problem is that these sufferings are a result of greed and people not living in reality.  We need a reality check.

Or maybe you need a Hawaiian vacation!  Actually, maybe I need a Hawaiian vacation!  That's more like it... I need to get on some of these Maui activities.
