The countdown has started … we have exactly one more week before Christmas! I can’t believe how quickly December is going … where have all the days gone?! Alex finishes the last of his final exams today, and I just got word that Carla’s surgery went well and that she is now in recovery so …
Aloha everyone! We performed at the Honolulu Club’s annual Christmas party last night after spending most of the day in the recording studio … man, were we tired at the end of the night! Plus, there was some drunk at the party who kept on bugging us about how we needed to have a bass …
‘Morning all! We’ve been having such beautiful clear and cool mornings for the last couple of weeks … man, I love our winter weather! There’s no wind, though, and it seems like we’re getting some vog from the Big Island so hopefully the tradewinds will return soon. We’re back in the studio today recording a …
Gutten morgen, meine freunden! I think that’s German for “Good morning, my friends!” … I took 2 years of German in high school and still remember a little of it. German seems so much easier to me than Japanese for some reason .. Japanese has so many different noun & verb structures depending on what …
It’s Monday, and the start of one of the busiest weeks in MDNA history! While Alex has final exams all week, we also have to perform or attend a special function every night this week. In addition, we have to go into the recording studio to do the final recording for a very important TV …
Aloha! It’s Sunday morning and we’re playing golf at the Royal Kunia golf course this afternoon. It’s always fun to golf with the boys and their friends … these young guys hit the ball far but not always straight! 🙂  Before we go, however, the boys and I have to work on our MANOA …
It’s the day before the Honolulu Marathon and Waikiki is filled with runners from all over the world! Last night at Lulu’s, there were participants who were obviously carbo-loading for the big day, and I spoke with a few runners from Japan who were so excited to be here! It was good to be back …
Another busy morning … the boys just got back from an early morning appearance on the KHON TV news to pitch our Lokahi Foundation mini-fundraiser at Lulu’s next Friday, Dec. 18th, from 6-9pm. This was sort of a last-minute idea that Nick came up with to try and help those in need during this holiday …
Man, it’s chilly this morning! Got up early since Carla had to go get an MRI down at Kuakini … she and Linda just got back and things seem to have gone well. Even the puppies were unusually quiet – I guess they knew that we had a different “routine” this morning so were on …
It’s late Tuesday evening, and I’m going to write a brief note before signing off and going to bed. These next two weeks are going to be very hectic – we not only have a bunch of performances scheduled, but also have recording deadlines to meet. And with Christmas right around the corner ….  …
