Celebrate Little Victories - H50 Season Four Premiere

Season 4 Blessing Ceremony
Hawaiian Blessing for Season Four
cbs.com

As I watch the leaves turn color (and the temperature drops) I have a small ache in my heart for Hawaii.   The best salve came Friday night with the H50 Season Four Premiere.   It delivered non stop thrills, bromance humor, and suspend-belief-moments. It also offered beautiful shots of Bellows Beach, Aloha Stadium, and Steve-the-Navy-SEAL in action.


How can I sustain this Aloha Spirit?

3.  These veterans-turned-writers will tide me over 'til I can meet (again) Navy Vet Lindsay McKenna at the RT Booklovers' Convention in New Orleans.   She is hosting Navy SEAL Chief Jaco for several events, including the SOS Military Mixer:

The original military romance author, Lindsay McKenna, is bringing retired US Navy SEAL Chief Michael Jaco, who was part of SEAL Team Six. Jaco will be our keynote speaker at his memorable event.

4.  Meanwhile, I'll drink Hawaiian Fruit Tea to sustain me for the upcoming cold weather.

Did you enjoy any TV shows (new or returning) during this week of Season Premieres?

  9. I imagine Hawaii is a hard place to forget after living there as long as you did. I still have fond memories from only being there less than a week. Castle is my number one show and they didn't disappoint. I also love The Big Bang Theory!
