Late post as I took a Redeye at 10pm outta HNL and landed in LAX at 6am today. Then drove up, took a nap and saw pm patients😃

Monday I did the Diamond Head hike, and there were others out there with the HNL Tee on - Crazy Marathoners!!😆

Parked at Kapiolani Park, where the Finish line was, since I was at the atop Diamond Head, I wanted a pic at the floor.

Got Mom Shrimp curry for lunch, she so wants to be independent that she refused my help with the walker - she did great! Dinner was the same, soft gau gee noodles, her nurse said my Mom really liked it. Picked up salmon for a snack omw to the Honolulu City Lights, also stopped in Waikiki for more pix.

Mahalo my Sista and awesome for you getting out and doing events - it benefits physically and emotionally. I'm still doing virtual events from theconqueror.events/all-cha... and currently in London. Someday I gotta get to Canada and do one. I think that there's a marathon that crosses from the US into Canada and back to the US - probably has a time limit tho.

Yes, so grateful that my Mom is better than last December when I was home💙

May try and get home this May

With much Aloha and Love

Run On

Sharing this picture with you from Boyne City Michigan, from my parents condo that they owned for 32 years.

I miss it so, just as I miss my father,

But, neither will ever be forgotten and I am blessed to have known such beauty in both my father, AND this heavenly place.

Shared with love,

Dawn

This was the view from my happiest place on Earth that my parents owned for 32 years.

In all of my trips to Oahu, I never made it to the top of Diamond Head. Thanks very much for the view!

You're Welcome, that view never gets old for me. It's always been my thing to do on my trips home, dunno if I ever did as a kid or teen LoL. So now it takes me being a Tourist to climb it.

If you have a set of VR googles ( I have the first Quest 1 ) , you can take the entire Diamond head tour , step by step .. flat field, scary suspended walkways , gun turret, platform and upper room ….all of it . It’s in the travel app. The pyramids of Giza, Eiffel tower, Great Wall of China, Sydney, Australia … nearly any place on the planet. Extremely realistic, breath taking , jaw dropping…. All from your living room. Modern VR is totally immersive, so real you can almost feel the tradewinds . 😂. Plus while you are in the “ reality “ , it provides really good pain management. Just fyi …

❤️❤️❤️

You know, I think you may have commented on this travel app as a pain management tool a year or more ago? I never did look into it fully, but I will now. Thank you very much!

Hi Beth … UCSF S.F Benioff, Children’s Hospital pioneered this , initially, for pain management in Children in the hospital. My wife , the hammer, demoed them for UCSF at conventions and continuing medical education seminars for several years before she retired. That’s how I came to discover they work in adults too. Her kiosk display was VERY popular, doctors, and administrators lineup ,dozens deep , to get a chance to try them out. The travel app is just one of dozens of highly entertaining apps for the VR goggles. Totally Immersive games like Shadow Point, the room, red matter, and Quill ( and many more ) are so realistic they absorb your consciousness entirely.

I use them seated on a revolving office chair to be able to look around and behind myself better. I mention them occasionally for new members and to remind others that might have forgotten. Modern day VR goggles are well developed and stunning to use. Quest 3 brand and model are a good choice.

Yes, I do remember that this original post was yours because I remember that your wife did the demos for UCSF. That's very cool. I had not forgotten but now I have more info. :)

wait a minute! Im over here eating dry whole grain bread and broccoli. Every post your talking linguicia or pork char siu or something else greasy and delicious. What am I doing wrong?

dockam in reply topj1121

Hi, I was back home and indulging in local foods that I haven't had since I was last home in Dec 2022. Normally I fast for 16 hours from 9 pm to 1pm the next day. I have black coffee in am and sip a tomato based veggie, garlic, ginger, curry broth.

Meals are mostly plant based with lean proteins, a rainbow of colors of fruits/veggies, whole grain pasta, whole wheat bread. I do an am workout, a prebreak fast workout and an evening hike. In my case this has served me well for the last 9 years with #stageivpca - Individual results may vary 😁

Build into your meals a treat of whatever guilty pleasure food you dig. j-o-h-n would say two scoops of Chocolate Chip, I think😜
