Monday, Dec. 7th

Aloha kakahiaka!  It’s Monday, Dec. 7th, and it’s the 68th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.  There will be lots of news coverage and ceremonies to mark this tragic and historic event which was the start of World War II in the Pacific.  Having been in Hiroshima a few weeks ago, and knowing the …

It’s Mark’s birthday!

‘Morning all!  It’s Sunday, Dec. 6th, and I’m about to go play squash before we take our bass player, Mark, to his surprise birthday party downtown.  We told him that we had a gig today so I don’t think he suspects anything .. I hope!  Mark turns 41 today, which is an important birthday for …

Lokahi fundraiser today …

Good morning!  We just got back from walking our puppies .. the winter mornings are just gorgeous here!  Carla wasn’t feeling well again today so I was put back into the rotation.  We performed last night at the Taste of Manoa over at the U.H. Campus Center … the food was pretty good!  Today we’re …

Beautiful Manoa!

Wow, it is an absolutely GORGEOUS morning here in the valley!  The skies are cloudless and there’s a moist chill in the air as I watch the sun start to peek over the lush green mountains … awesome!  I love the holiday season because the weather gets a little cooler and we start to have …

Now it’s raining …

It’s Tuesday morning and I’m already in my office since I had an early morning breakfast meeting.  I apologize for not finishing my blog last night, but it was such a boring Monday that there really wasn’t anything to talk about.  Anyway, the winds have died down somewhat and have been replaced by torrential downpours …

Breezy Monday

Holy smoke!  The wind is HOWLING!  I can’t believe how strong the winds are … last night our house shook so much that I thought it was going to blow away!  It’s also colder than Thanksgiving Day so I think the winds may be coming from a more northerly direction … brrrrr!  I’m sure all …

The winds are back!

It’s Sunday evening and I’ve just taken a nice hot shower after a grueling round of golf out at the Hawai’i Prince golf course.  It looks like the strong winds that hit us over Thanksgiving Day are back again and it was extremely windy out on the golf course today.  We all struggled with our …

Long weekend

It’s Saturday morning on a long Thanksgiving weekend.  Lots of leftovers from Thursday’s feast and lots of college football on TV, which means I’ll probably be spending the day lying on the sofa and stuffing my face!  UH plays Navy tonight at Aloha Stadium and the boys are all going to the game to tailgate.  …

After the feast!

Howdy, peeps!  I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving Day yesterday!  The boys and I went to play golf in the morning while Carla & Linda made preparations for Thanksgiving dinner.   Boy, the wind was REALLY strong yesterday – I heard that we had gusts close to 50 mph!  It was blowing so …

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  The strong and gusty tradewinds have returned and are knocking down my avocados!  I just got back from playing golf with my buddies at Waialae this morning, and the winds were quite fierce out on the course.  The morning started off pretty calm but the winds started picking up around mid-morning and …
