Staying Calm in Hawaii
overheard in new york.com
Suit: "Hawaii is so boring! There's nothing to do but stay calm."
--52nd & Lexington
I guess it's all a matter of perspective. A relaxing vacation in New York City sounds nice right now.
It's true that life is slower here. The roads are empty by 7pm. Everything shuts down by 9pm. And just try to get a good bagel. Not happening. People are people though. Commerce happens, cell phones ring. We are a beehive of activity, just on a lower frequency.
Oh, who am I kidding?
Yeah, it's chill here. Even the Kona coffee is smooth and mellow. Nothing harsh, nothing biting.
Life in Kona is changing fast though. We've been discovered by the mainland. Real estate is booming, the population is growing. McMansions have been spotted popping up on the fringes of ag land. Some of us are starting to wonder if the coffee fields will be suburban tract homes in 20 years. It's possible. Enjoy your Kona coffee now, cause I think we're on the endangered species list for 2015.
