January?

Oh hey, it's been a while since I last did anything.  Honestly, it's because I haven't been up to anything terribly exciting.  Well, when I say nothing terribly exciting I mean I've been having an 80 degree winter with NO SNOW!  Yeah, it's been awesome.

The awesome (and sometimes kinda crappy) thing about Maui is there really isn't that much to do, especially when the weather is wet.  Hiking is dangerous due to flash floods, and beaches become a bit too cold for swimming.  Anyway, awesome because I really just tend to kick around and relax.  I've discovered that even an overcast day is kinda nice to just go sit and read a book on the beach.
Don't get too jealous because honestly I've just been working a lot lately.  However, we do get Federal - and a couple random Hawaiian state - holidays off.  Martin Luther King day (January 21) we decided to go out whale watching.

My whaling buddies, Jarom and Sheila, who also had the day off thanks to Martin!

During the winter, hundreds of humpback whales migrate to Maui to give birth to calves and allow them time to grow.  This means that at any given time when you're out on the water you are likely to see whale breeches.  We had a good time spotting whales, but I didn't really get any good pictures.

January I also discovered The Big Bang Theory (the TV show, not the actual theory - with a degree in Biology one would hope that I had already been introduced to that).  Hilarious!

That was pretty much it for January.  It was over before I hardly even realized it!
