Monday we drove back to Sacramento and got in late, and Tuesday morning we flew home. This was not an advertised trip, and if you didn't know we were around there was a good chance you were not part of the anniversary. The Samanskys had no idea we were coming to California and I'd like to think they were pleasently surprised at our unexpected arrival. We really didn't have any extra time on this trip, and we used our time as we planned. So if you thought you saw me in Woodland there's a chance you did. No one who didn't get a visit should feel slated against we really didn't have any extra time, and those of you who have direct contact with my father just consider that I did you a favor by not advising you about my trip; otherwise you would be looked at as somekind of enemy conspiritor or some other such paranoid craziness. You can check back later when I add some pics.

Went to California
Last Thursday Sam and I boarded Hawaiian Airlines Flight 20 bound for Sacramento to attend Sam's parents 4oth wedding anniversary. Friday was mostly spent taking care of somethings that we should have taken care of a year ago, but everything worked out. The party was on Saturday and went just fine. Sam had produced a slide-show with music for the event which I don't think could have been any better. Early Sunday morning Sam and I headed down to Fresno, and luckily we arrived just in time to watch Ab's in a triathlon where she finished a strong 4th. We took Abs out to lunch while Audrey was taking a nap. Later we went to Boomers to play some miniture-golf, but the arcade has seen much better days.

Easy delicious and Healthy frozen dessert
- 3 frozen bananas
- I found this on the internet and made it in just over 15 minutes, but to be fair I already had frozen bananas. I've added some of my own tips to make it easier.
What you will need:
3 ripe bananas frozen
1/4 cup milk of some kind (skim all the way to cream I don't think it matters)
Pinch ground nutmeg
Electric Food Processing device (Food-Processor is ideal, I used my kitchen-aid mixer, and I'm sure blender would work)
Throw all the ingredients in and make it creamy, and Yummmm! Enjoy!
*I peel the bananas before freezing and put them in a zip-lock freezer bag.

Dental Complications
Recently I had my old gold crown fall off, and the smell was not only overwhelmingly gross but resemble the stench of hot month old garbage. The crown was only about 7 years old and why the glue failed is really speculative. Back in 2002 I had the work done in Woodland by a dentist that I used to like, and I liked until I recommended her to my father; my dad was inappropriate with my married with children dentist and the service was never the same from any of the staff. As far as the saga of my cursed crown the temporary crown fell off twice before I returned to the dentist office where they tried to affix someone elses crown which obviously wasn't going to work; the temporary crown fell off another time before having the gold crown finally set. My old gold crown fell off while I was flossing, and it was surprising since it came straight off as I inserted the 'Glide' in between the teeth. So I went to my dentist here and unfortunately there was some decay, and was bad enough that the had to use a "laser" to remove part of the gum line so that later they will have enough surface area to glue on the new crown; also I had to have a root canal done by a specialist for my "extremely deep roots". Luckily it didn't hurt that much, the pain in all this has really been financial. Sam and I were notified that our dental insurance has a probation period before they will cover major work, and we didn't quite understand how we could still be in a probation period since it has been nearly a year; the probation period is a full year. I am now responsible for several hundreds of dollars with my dentist, and $1800 with the specialist for the root canal. On the bright side Sam was able to move back my dentist apointment for the crown so at least that will be covered by the insurance at the end of April. I am very happy that my new temporary has been solid since March 20th. All in all a frustrating situation.

Honolulu Frozen Yogurt
In the last couple of months Honolulu has had two different new Frozen Yogurt places open up. Both places are similar to one another, yet there are big differences.
The first place Sam and I tried is Yogurtland (http://www.yogurt-land.com/) which is only a few blocks from where we live next to the University. The frozen-yogurt is self serve, and that includes the toppings; don't get excited they weigh your cup and charge you by the ounce. The flavors change occasionally, and they have several to choose from. Most of the frozen-yogart is either low-fat or non-fat, yet I'm not sure you would ever know. I like Yogartland and have visited several times.
Last night Sam and I went to Menchies Frozen-Yogart (http://menchies.com/) at Ward Center. There is no doubt that Menchies has the better location, but that's the only upperhand I can see Menchies has over Yogartland. I didn't like either flavor I choose last night both had a bitter after-taste; I had a taste of Sam's and it was the same way. Menchies is self-serve and they charge by weight as well, but the quality is definately lacking; the service is lacking as well.
As stated above I feel the difference between the new fancy frozen-yogurt places heavily favor Yogurtland, and I highly recomend it if you like frozen-yogurt and just happen to be in Honolulu.
