Good food, good friends

So my friend emails me and tells me she's going to be visiting the islands in a few days...so what do I do...I tell her to come to Hilo and guess what? SHE DID! I am so glad that she did. It's been years since I've seen Karen and it's been like no time has passed. We talked the same as before and it was a total trip. Karen finally moved back to C anada and got her teaching credential. That was awesome so I told her to get a job in Hawaii. We'll have to wait and see if she does. Hawaii, being Hawaii likes to make it difficult for people to get jobs. Go figure. Well, one of these days, I'll see Karen again and see how things are going. Maybe next time I'll see her in Canada!

I love fishing. Well, I don't love it...but I love it. Here's 10 reasons why:

1. You don't have to have any special skills
2. You can just kick back and relax
3. You don't have to fish for any specific amount of time
4. If you have a fishing rod, you can fish just about anywhere
5. If you don't catch anything, no one really cares
6. Fishing doesn't make you tired
7. It doesn't cost a lot to go fishing
8. You can eat what you catch (if you really want to)
9. Fishing is relaxing
10. You can fish by yourself or with friends

But a funny thing about fishing is this...you can catch some really interesting fish and increase the size of the fish every time you tell the story about how you caught it.
