Winter in June?!!

Man, it’s been like winter up here in the valley and it’s almost July!  We’ve had a lot of rain and wind the last couple of days, and it was actually a bit chilly the other morning!  All that nuclear testing and stuff are now coming back to haunt us, I guess … We performed …

Back to warp speed ….

Aloha, peeps … Yesterday was one of those days when everything hit the fan all at once.  There was stuff for ManoaDNA and IOLANI coming at us from all directions … it was chaos at its best!  It did turn out to be a real productive day in the end, but we were all pretty …

Aloha, John ….

Aloha, everyone! I was very sad to hear that John Koko of the Makaha Sons just passed away.  I can’t believe how many members of our musical ohana we’ve lost already this year … what the heck is going on?!  The Makaha Sons are truly one of Hawai’i’s best and John’s music and humor will …

Grad parties galore!

A great Sunday morning to y’all! Just had an omelette and scone from Morning Glass … mmmm, good!  I initially wanted to get something from Andy’s in Manoa, but it looks like they’re taking a few days off since the place was closed.  So now that I’m fueled up and good to go, I have …

Aloha Wednesday!

‘Morning, all! So now it’s windy and rainy … even a bit cool!  What’s with this weather lately?!  Not that I’m complaining, of course, because I’ll take cool and rainy over hot and humid any day! So how’s your week going so far?  It’s been a pretty uneventful one for both ManoaDNA and IOLANI, but …

Happy Father’s Day!

Wow .. this is one of the longest stretches I’ve gone without a blog!  First of all, I want to wish all the dads out there a very Happy Father’s Day!  It’s so easy to forget how lucky we all are to have such great kids … even when they’re a pain in the ass!  …

Mid-week!

Howzit, peeps! It’s Wednesday, the halfway point of another beautiful week here in Paradise!  Pretty much a normal week for me, though … not much happening that’s worth sharing except for a couple of sad notes.  My friend Gregg’s father is in the hospital and although it doesn’t look too good, we’re all hoping for …

Kamehameha Day

Howzit, peeps! Happy Kamehameha Day to all my friends!  Boy, it was so hot today that I had to turn on the air conditioner … and that doesn’t happen very often here in Manoa.  We performed down at the Honolulu Zoo this afternoon for the Lokahi Family Fun Day and what a gorgeous day it …

Weekend’s here!

Yay!  It’s Saturday! Got up early this morning because Carla stole my pillow … I need two pillows when I sleep otherwise it gets uncomfortable.  Anyway, got my mug of hot DD coffee and my old laptop so everything’s good!  Just got a Facebook message from one of our fans pointing out a mistake I …
