Aloha, V

V and her husband are retiring and moving away after 30 years of working in the City. They have taken the equity from their Bay Area house, paid cash for their new digs, and have enough left over to sleep comfortably during those sultry summer nights in North Carolina. I’ll miss her and her helpfulness, her even-keeled temperament and sunny smile, and the cakes and lumpia that have contributed to my high cholesterol reading.

Best wishes, V, aloha, mahalo, and Godspeed.
