Sunday morning.

It’s clear and sunny, at least for now. A light breeze is adding a bit of motion to the leaves on the mango trees just outside in the back yard.

We returned from our early morning walk to find that our almost new Mr. Coffee has choked and died. No coffee this morning. Then I pulled out the carton of eggs from the refrigerator and found there were only three left. The omelet idea was also out, and we settled for soft boiled eggs and english muffins. Not bad, but not what we had been planning on.

But the sunrise on the beach? It’s not Kaaawa, but we’re enjoying it nonetheless.

It’s still dark when we leave the house just before 6 a.m., but when we get to the far end of the block and cross over to the beach park, the sun is already signaling its imminent arrival.

There are usually at least one or two other people along that stretch of beach, also waiting for the sun to make its appearance.

And then there it is, right on schedule.

Our current routine is to walk out along Kahala Avenue until we pass the drainage canal near Pueo Street, then take the next access lane back down to the beach. From that point, we can walk on the beach for a while until we run out of sand, at least if it’s not high tide.

And although it seems somehow “disloyal”, we are meeting some of the morning dogs on this end of the island, like this pair who were engaged in a running mock fight up and down the beach, under the watchful eyes of their people.

And so it goes on this Sunday.

Stop by here tomorrow for a look at the lawsuit filed against Republican Senator Sam Slom by reporter Malia Zimmerman, co-founder of Hawaii Reporter and now a Fox News reporter on the west coast.
