Overblogging? You bet I am! Sitting home alone for several days with a dog who has suddenly become the #1 fan of The Nap has led me to a path of boredom. And you know what boredom means: waaaay too much time with my own thoughts!
So, tonight's special is the Pros vs. Cons of moving to an island.
Pro: Warm sunny days all year long.
Con: Totally screwed if the polar ice caps melt. (Hang in there, arctic shelf!)
Pro: At least three kinds of surfing that I can think of right now.
Con: All that money I spent on snowboarding gear two years ago is laid to waste.
Pro: I will be driving a scooter!
Con: I have to navigate the world of traffic again.
Pro: Locally grown produce at my fingertips.
Con: I will have a kitchen of mayhem for a few months, trying to figure out how to use all new fruits and veggies.
Pro: Family may actually be interested in visiting!
Con: Friends and acquaintances may be too interested, and landlords in HI (as we found out yesterday) charge per week for house guests of tenants.
Pro: That means we have an excuse to set boundaries and protect our privacy.
Con: I don't want to deal with the politics of it if people take it personally.
Pro: It will be faster to get to either parents' house now than it was to drive off the Rez and through the mountains
Con: It's also about 10 times more expensive than driving.
Pro: It's Hawaii...and I can't really muster up a "con" for that.
