Yawn … what a lazy day.  It’s Sunday and it’s overcast and rainy in Manoa with little or no wind .. a perfect day for napping!  I really needed this kind of day after a hectic couple of weeks at ‘IOLANI and a rough night of wine “tasting” with friends Kenzo and Natsuko Tsujimoto, owners [READ MORE]

I’m really pissed off … Meridian Sports Club of California, operator of the Honolulu Club for the past few years, suddenly announced on Wednesday that they were closing the club.  These guys took a decent athletic club and turned it into a low-budget dump.  I heard that instead of reinvesting the profits here, they were [READ MORE]

Aloha, peeps!   Just arrived home yesterday after a very long and exhausting trip … and boy, was I happy when our plane finally touched down on the runway in Honolulu!  It was weird, but both of our flights to and from the West Coast had mechanical problems – first, our LA flight had to turn [READ MORE]

Aloha, peeps!  Woke up this morning to darkness, rain, thunder, and lightning … and it was already 8:30am!  I was thinking to myself, “this is must be some storm – it’s as dark as midnight!” … then realized that the hurricane shutters had been lowered making the room pitch black!  Hahaha!  Oh well, this will [READ MORE]

Aloha, everyone!  And I thought our weather was screwy … the weather here in LA is even worse!  First, it was frickin’ cold after we got in, then they had 50-60 mph winds yesterday afternoon, then it was freezing again this morning, and tomorrow it’s expected to be in the 90′s … go figure!  Anyway, [READ MORE]
