Aloha from O'ahu
Geeze, where'd everbody go? I leave NJ and all the denizens of TheMilt.com disappear!!
Anyway, I'm now living in Honolulu and am still working for H&R Block, this year preparing tax returns rather than doing computer work.
I won't bore you with descriptions of the great weather out here - temps in the 70's, sunshine and warm trade winds - I know that would cause severe stress as you shiver in the 20's and 30's with snow, etc.
I've attached a picture of the house where I live and will try to get some other shots as I can.
Anyway, ya'll come back and lets get this site rockin again like it used to, OK?
Aloha especially to Murf and Linds, two great people!

It's the word (a nal) it's just dirty. 
glad to hear your getting settled and enjoying paradise! I plan to make a week long trip to the big island next year in February, maybe we can meet up!
But I don't get what was unacceptable about that group of letters. 
W a i m a n a l o?
this is really something, having the software censor the names of Hawaiian towns in my post above! Lets try it as "Waimanalo"
Great to hear from you and thank you for thinking of me. Wish I could send some of this nice weather over to PA and NJ - they could surely use it!
Anyway, say hello to the other Milts who know me in those parts when you see them, OK?
Aloha for now.
I just saw that I mis-spelled Linda's name in the original post! 
Anyway, to answer your question, Linda, I live in a rooming house (8 other guys here - some retired, some still working). The house is about a mile from the waterfront in the Nu'uanu section of town. The closest beach is at Ala Moana Park right next to Waikiki. It's probably about 3 miles or so from here. I haven't been in swimming yet, believe it or not. Been busy working at Block doing taxes and riding the bus around the island getting re-acquainted with all the spots I visited in the past. This morning I took a ride out through Kailua on the windward side to Waimanalo and Sea Life Park. I haven't been to that part of O'ahu for almost 30 years!
While waiting for the other bus to take me back downtown, I saw a lot of hang gliders riding the winds over the mountains. Great sight! Then on the bus back, I was able to catch a faint glimpse of Molokai island across the channel from here (about 17 miles) I'm really loving living here (can you tell? 
)
Anyway, I'm glad to have this site to stay up with all that's going on back east. I hope you didn't get socked too bad with the snow.
One final thing, when you eat PA Dutch food, think of me - it'll be a long time till I get scrapple, etc. again! 
I was just thinking of you a minute ago and wanted to check the site to see if you updated!
Glad you see your nice and toasty after we got 18 + inches dumped on us friday night and saturday 
Big hugs!
or do you live with others there? I forget what you said when you left. what is your distance to the beach? are you working ?
fabulous things, places or people????? So glad you checked in, I hope you are living your dream....I for one am always jealous of people who just up and take of on an adventure to any type of warmer beach climate 
it means a list of fabulous people, but then again, what do I know!!! 
What is the definition of fabulist?
that I'm a part of this experiment. So tell me what I have to do....
I am just doing a fabulist experiment.
Aloha! You sounded so happy when we talked on the phone. I'm so glad that your dream is coming to fruition! You deserve it John!
Keoni,
I was just thinking about you today and wondering when you were going to check in from the island.
I am glad to hear from you and that you are doing well. Thanks for posting the picture of your digs.
It's not that cold here and it just makes us stronger from having to endure it. 
Rock on my friend!
that just totally cracks me up! I didn't even see it!!
Your filter is picky, picky, picky!!!
