Now that I am home in Seattle I have been missing Hawaii very much, so I offer my reflections on being there and the work that I made.  I feel lucky to have spent time there, making new friendships and renewing old.  Much thanks to Rick Mills for inviting me to be a sabbatical replacement for him at the University of Hawaii.
