checkin out the sunny lunch hour crowd from dunn's nicollet mall ... sending good vibes out to mr. dusty, who is probably right now crossing from the north american coast out over the vast pacific.  i talked him into buying one of those cheap tickets to honolulu to stay with steve at the condo for 10 days.  (i almost went too but i really can't afford it yet - i'm on the last day of a 12-day work marathon right now.)  so he gets there on mayday, which is lei day in hawai'i, and will be there for boy's day (may 5), and if that isn't perfect enough, looks like the first south swell of the summer, which i believe is known as the "mother's day swell," is rolling into waikiki as we speak.  almost four years after buying the condo, one of our friends is finally going to visit ... e hele holoholo hawa'i kane!
