It’s Tuesday …

Well, it looks like the cool northerly winds are back … this morning was freezing!  It’s good though, since they blow away all the vog that’s been hanging around the last few days.  Carla’s sick again .. looks like she caught the same virus that Nick had last week so she’s down with a slight …

Good concert

Good morning!  We saw Elton John in concert at the Blaisdell Arena last night and it was a pretty good show.  He performed non-stop for almost 3 hours – that’s pretty awesome given that it was only him, his piano, and a percussionist who came in midway through the show.  I think 3 hours was …

Elton John tonight!

We’re going to see Elton John tonight and I’m really looking forward to it since I haven’t seen him live in concert since my college days! :-)  I heard from my friends who saw his show on Wednesday that he performed with only his piano and a percussionist, but that it was totally awesome!  I …

Aloha Friday!

Good morning!  It’s the first Aloha Friday for 2010 and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate it than to be at Lulu’s this evening!  We’ll be performing from 6-9pm so I hope you can join us for some pau hana fun! I played a pretty good round of golf yesterday out at …

Thursday golf

It’s Thursday which means its golf with my buddies this afternoon.  Since the Sony Open is at Waialae CC next week, we won’t be able to golf next Thursday, but we may try to play up at Oahu CC or out at Mid-Pacific CC.  I think I’m going to get a new putter because I …

Wednesday, Jan. 6th

Good morning!  It’s Wednesday and we just had our first rainfall here in Manoa for 2010, which is unusual since it usually rains quite frequently here in the valley.  I think this year is going to be very dry year for Hawai’i so we’d better be prepared for possible droughts later this year.  Our puppies …

Tuesday, Jan. 5th

Hello, hello, hello!  The New Year is off to a great start with lots of activity on both the ManoaDNA and IOLANI fronts!  Now that Carla is 100% healthy, she’s on a tear over at IOLANI and has big plans for 2010 and beyond.  And after pausing briefly for the Christmas and New Years holidays, …

Back to work …

It’s the first Monday of 2010 … the first official work day for IOLANI, and already things are happening.  I’m cautiously optimistic about our business this year – it can’t be any worse than last year’s, that’s for sure!  The big project for this year will be the opening of IOLANI’s factory museum which will …

Happy Birthday, son!

It’s Alex’s birthday today!  I can’t believe he’s 24 years old already … where did all those years go??  I can still remember he and Nick running around the house as kids, slamming doors and giggling hysterically … now the only ones running around the house and making a mess are our crazy puppies!  Today …

WELCOME 2010!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERBODY!! I hope you all had a wonderful New Year’s holiday, and it’s great to be out of ’09 and into 2010!  Maybe it’s just me, but it sure seems like there’s a whole different vibe in the air – a real strong and positive energy, if you will – and it …
