Hey Dude!

I was trying to remember where I took this. I think turtle canyon in Hawaii Kai.
It was with my friends from Aloha Dive located in the shopping center kitty corner from Longs. They have probably the best dive catamaran boat anywhere. I used to dive with them every Saturday while Gordon was working on his MBA.
Now?
I have my own boat.

5 am and 74 degrees.
My friend Holly said something astounding yesterday.
"You'll have to change what's on your blog," she said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"You'll have to put author where you say writer," she told me.
Holy participle!
An author from Hawaii...
AN AUTHOR.
"I''m Pat the author."
"Hi, I'm an author."
"What do I do? Oh, I'm an author."
"That book you're holding? Well, I'm the author."
This will take a bit to get used to.
Give me- maybe - two minutes.
An author.
I like the sound of that.

What a wonderful distinction to be able to make! And she is right...
I would change that to more accurately reflect your current status.

Author Pat.

Has a nice ring, huh?
