Ok, the puppies ready – they’re so cute and get so excited whenever it’s time for their walk! I got a call last night from our good friends Danny & Ann Akaka on the Big Island. Last night was their Twilight at Kalahuipua’a, a monthly event which is held on the Saturday closest to the …
I just got finished playing squash at the Honolulu Club and my shoulder actually felt pretty good! I’m going to try and play again tomorrow morning, but I’ll wait to see if my shoulder is ok. I still have a slight cough, but other than that I’m feeling ok. I struggled vocally last night at …
“It’s Aloha Friday … no work till Monday!” – lyrics from bruddah Kimo’s popular pauhana song here in the islands. I’m still a little under the weather … boy, it’s taking a long time to shake this cold! Anyway, I decided not to go golfing in Kona this weekend since I need to rest up …
I’m finally starting to feel better although I still have a slight cough. I was lucky that this was just a cold and not the flu, since my doctor said that a lot of people are coming in with the flu. Hopefully, I should be completely recovered by the this weekend and can get back …
I’m spending the day at home today, trying to recover from the cold which I caught over the weekend. Boy, this sucks! I couldn’t even take the puppies for a walk since it was windy and rainy outside this morning. I still need to run a couple of errands though, so I’ll probably get going …

Last night was so much fun! We performed with our full MDNA band on the main stage at Ala Moana Center in front of a huge crowd and were immediately followed by an awesome display of fireworks that seemed to go on forever! Our kupuna also sent us a huge blessing in the form of …
It’s July 4th … a day to celebrate our country’s independence and to reflect on the importance of the freedoms we in America enjoy, especially during these tough times. I think about my dad and the countless others who fought to defend those freedoms and feel a great sense of pride and humility as we …
Puppies woke me up very early this morning … probably startled by an avocado falling on our roof! They love the baby avocados that fall from our backyard tree – we’re constantly finding half-eaten ones scattered throughout our house.  I’m still trying to learn the lyrics to the new song we’re performing for the …
Someone recommended that I keep my blogs brief – maybe 5 – 6 sentences at the most, and include pictures instead. What do you guys think? I’ll have to ask Nick & Alex to show me how to post pics on future blogs, but meanwhile, I will try to be less “wordy”! Sooo … here …
