We live on Oahu, in Kaneohe. I'm sort of ashamed to say we've been here since '97 and still not made it to Maui, you'll have to tell us how it is! I've been saying for the past five years we need to go during the Maui writer's conference (I write for a local magazine and have always wanted to go), but we've just not made it. It is my goal to get us there this year, I'm pretty sure that I can write off my cost as a business expense.

I've spent all week jonesing to carve. It is amazing how much tension and stress you cast off while tap, tap, tapping. I'm so thankful that ono encouraged me to try it. And, he wasn't kidding in his thread about buying new tools. At this point I'm spending more on tools than him. I'm having to buy stuff to fit my hands (his mallots are too heavy) and doubles of certain chisels because it is hard to wait if the other is using it. In fact I've been bugging him since Tuesday to take me to the wood working store today. Got to go drag him tool shopping!
