The airline named after the 49th state has announced that it will have service to the 50th state starting this fall.

Alaska Airlines also will have seasonal flights between Anchorage and Honolulu. By seasonal, one can only mean that it will be in the winter time when you know all the people in Hawaii will be eager to escape to the great white north. Just kidding. Alaskans will be stoked to have another option for flights to Hawaii. In fact, I think the two states should form a partnership where citizens from each get to visit one another for free.

The New Year brings new hope and all those new resolutions that you’ll probably break after about a week. If one of your resolutions is to get into better shape, perhaps you could set your sights high and start training for the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii. Doesn’t a 2.4 mile swim followed by a 112 mile bike and topped off by a 26.2 mile run sound like an ideal way to spend a day?
As I sit here staring out the window at the 1,234th straight day of gray clouds, I can’t help but wonder if the sun has disappeared for good. I also can’t help but feel a bit on envy towards those of you who are wearing sunglasses and sitting by the pool while you are reading this blog. Your golden tan skin is the essence of good health. Your carefree attitude the sign of relaxation. There are no bags under your eyes. You are not tired. You will live forever.

Alright, so maybe joking about an earthquake is a bit in poor taste, but thankfully the big shake in Hawaii on Sunday caused only minor injuries. The good news when it comes to natural disasters, and there really is very little good news involving them, is that they tend to scare people away. Hurricanes, floods, volcanoes, Britney Spears concerts, these are the things of nightmares for most people.
