So... sorry for the absence. I have been trying to get some hiring done and spent last week at the Society for American Archaeology meetings in Honolulu. The conference turned out to be a good one. I got to see many interesting papers, although there wasn't much in the way of Paleoindian or geoarchaeology papers. Waikiki was a little touristy for my tastes, but once you got out of Honolulu the island was very pretty. I'd like to go back for a real visit someday and maybe hit up some of the less developed islands.
