Chartreuse, huh? All I can say is that I'm in the middle of a Barack Obama campaign in my blog! haha! But I'll interrupt it for this tag. Tomorrow. Tired. Now. Late. Bye.

Aha! I've found you again! I had lost you for a long while (along with most of my blogs) and then I could only find one blog and then ... I know it sounds too stupid since all I had to do was click on your link, but hey, I never pretended to be smart.

Love your tag answers!

I'm assuming that 'aloha' means you're wearing a shirt that says aloha. Very cleverly done.

Enjoyed your answers. Some, like "loss" were even poignant. Good job.

Hey, I saw this just now...

I was going to say "Cool," as a one-word response to your one-word post, but:

*pet: cavies* I'm almost afraid to ask. :-)

On #31: You mean you didn't cry the last time you bore your testimony?? :-)

Josi, it means I'm wearing an Aloha Shirt, as I do most every day except Sunday when I have a Hawaiian print tie. It's my trademark. :-)

Jewel, Cavies is the one word name for Guinea Pigs. They're fun. Smell a bit like horses, though.

Ali, welcome back.

Liz, I'm looking forward to your answers.

Marcia, thanks for the opportunity.

Ronda, welcome and glad you enjoyed the answers.

(Psst Don, do you mean me-Jewel, or someone else?? Sorry if I am so dense about it, but I wasn't sure if you meant someone else :-).

Don said…
Pink/Jewel,

Yes, I mean you. Should have done links. You'll have a great time with this.

And yes, I realize that there are more than one Jewel in the blogosphere, so I need to be more careful.

Sorry for the confusion. :-)

Guavalicious Contest Rules

As many of you know, I grew up in Hawaii, in the quaint little village of Laie . Many of you also know that I have been working away at my version of the Great American Novel for the last little while. Due to a bout of homesickness brought on by a cruel Utah winter, my story is set in (surprise) Laie. It was also in Laie that I learned to love the great taste of guava - the same taste I am about to share with a few lucky people in the form of my Guavalicious apple butter. To enter the contest, simply add a comment to this post that completes the following sentence: "A story set in Hawaii simply has to include _____." There are no right or wrong answers. I'm just curious to see what everyone has to say, both "insiders and outsiders". I also think it could be fun to try and use as many of these suggestions as possible. You can make as many as you want, but your name only goes in the hat once. I will add a jar of Guavalicious to the prize pool for every four entr...

Canoe-Paddling Polynesian Guys

We have finally hung a picture on the wall here in our house. The fact that this is a blog-worthy event eighteen months after moving in is, I admit, rather pathetic. But it is also very exciting. I finally feel like we are really moving in. Slowly but surely we're picking away at the projects that need to be done, and (for now) avoiding the temptation to take on any new ones. This picture is called Hoe Kama Kani , which means "paddle with the wind." We found this picture at a home show in Honolulu while we were students, and I just fell in love with it. I stood there and stared at the picture for quite some time, but I simply couldn't justify the $140 price. The salesman told us that they had a smaller print available for much less, but they had sold out at the show. We could look at it if we came by the studio the next week. Unfortunately, the little 8x10 just didn't have the same effect as the full size print. So as you can see, we bit the bullet, got the big on...

The Liar's Game - Post 500

Here it is - the 500th post here at Fifteen Minutes of Delusion. To celebrate, I'm having a contest. You can find the rules here . Post your guesses on this post. And now, on to the game. 1. My lunch with Michael Dorn. For several years, I was the Utah Wing Leader for Angel Flight West, a charity flying organization that donates flights in private aircraft for people who need medical attention. Each October, the Wing Leaders would get together with the board of directors in Long Beach, California, for a Wing Leader Planning Day. The first year I attended, actor and pilot Michael Dorn was on the board. I didn't recognize him at first, but as soon as he spoke, there was no doubt who he was. Kara and I were big Star Trek fans at the time. Although we didn't have any direct interaction, we sat at the same table during lunch. I was pleased to note that he took the onions off of his sandwich, just like me. 2. My flight with Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman. One Christmas Kara and...
