Cloudy Tuesday

It looks like we will be spared much of the rain and wind that tropical storm Felicia was expected to bring today.  Although the skies are mostly cloudy, I can see patches of blue sky here and there.  It’s also not as muggy as it was yesterday as the tradewinds appear to be slowly returning. …

Storm’s coming …

It’s Monday evening and I just got home from having some pauhana drinks with two of my best buddies, Gregg and Cal.  I try to get together with them once a week for sake’ and pupus … it’s a really great way to relax and catch up on what’s going on in the local business …

Quiet Sunday …

It’s been a pretty mellow Sunday … went and played squash this morning and then watched Tiger Woods win the World Golf Challenge – that guy is unbelievable!  We just sent off a demo to Japan which we’ve been working on for some time now, and which has been the most challenging project to date …

Windy Saturday!

It’s a beautiful sunny morning, but the winds look like they’re starting to pick up a bit … could be part of Hurricane Felicia which is currently east of Hilo on the Big Island.  The current forecast is that it will be a tropical depression by the time it hits the islands so that is …

Friday pauhana – yeah!!

It’s Aloha Friday everyone, which means that the weekend has arrived!  There’s been a lot of concern lately about Hurricane Felicia which is slowly approaching Hawai’i from the east, but reports indicate that it will continue to weaken and become a tropical depression by the time it arrives in our waters.  We’ll take our usual …

Golf today!

Hi everyone!  I got a request from one of our friends to post pictures of our puppies  Buster, Peanut, and Jazz, on my blog.  Alex and I got our new 3G iPhones yesterday, so as soon as I get all my stuff organized I will start posting all kinds of pics!  I am so slow …

Those puppies!

I came home yesterday afternoon and our floor was covered with muddy pawprints!  Apparently the puppies got into some mud and tracked it into the house while no one was home … #@$**#!!!  I can’t really get mad at them though because they’re so cute … We met some of our Yokohama friends at Kani …

Tuesday morning …

Good morning all!  We just got back from walking the puppies on another gorgeous morning in Paradise!  Nothing much happening today except for a morning meeting and dinner tonight with our friends from Yokohama.  I also have to make an appointment for my annual eye exam and take care of some of my dad’s affairs.  …

It’s August!

My how time flies by when you’re going crazy!:-)  I usually update my blog first thing in the morning, but since I had to get an early start,  I wasn’t able to do it.  So here it is, 6:00 pm, and I’m sitting in my office staring at my computer screen.  I had quite a …

It’s the weekend!

Boy, we had a great crowd last night at Lulu’s!  Many of our friends came down to welcome us home after being away for a couple of weeks.  Our good friend, Misa, came dressed as Meg from “Family Guy” and also had a cool ManoaDNA uchiwa or fan which she had made … very cool!  …
