Busy Wednesday

Howzit, It’s gonna be another busy day for me … got meetings at IOLANI all morning, followed by a Masters gathering at noon, and then MDNA’s at the Swim @ the Hyatt for an early evening pau hana performance.  Except for a little congestion in my sinuses, I’m feeling much better today so I should …

Homemade cupcakes!

Hey guys, Found a cool little coffee joint called Poppy’s Coffee & Espresso Bar located right next door to Likelike Drive Inn off Ke’eaumoku Street.  I was invited there by my friend Peter and was immediately impressed by the food and the great personal attention given each customer by the owners and staff.  Everything is …

Another Monday ….

Aloha, everyone! It’s another beautiful Monday morning here in Manoa Valley and the start of another great week.  Meanwhile, I’m still fighting this damn cold which now have my sinuses totally blocked.  Like I said yesterday, it made for some interesting moments during this past weekend’s performances because I couldn’t hear a damn thing.  You …

Down and out …

‘Morning, all. I now have a full-blown cold … yesterday, the damn virus attacked in full force and knocked me on my butt.  I thought I was doing a pretty good job of keeping it in check but this virus is turning out to be one tough sucker.  I was absolutely miserable last night at …

AK & the Lefties

Good morning, peeps! Went and watched Alex’s gig last night at Lulu’s where he performed with Mark & Seann.  They call themselves “AK & the Sunshine” or “AK & the Lefties”.  Not sure about the first one, but “AK & the Lefties” fits because Mark & Seann are both left-handed while Alex plays his guitar …

Are you kidding?!!

Happy Aloha Friday, peeps! I saw a headline in the Star-Advertiser the other morning that really floored me – “Bill Would Cut UH Fee for Illegal Immigrants”.  Our state government wants to give illegal aliens the same UH college tuition break that local residents get.  What the .. ?!!  Doesn’t “illegal immigrant” refer to someone …

Mid-week

Good morning, all … Just another Wednesday in what’s turning out to be a pretty mellow week for me.  That’s good, because I think I’m coming down with another cold … my throat feels like crap and I’m coughing more frequently.  I’ve been trying to hold it at bay with all these different cold supplements, …

Uh, oh … cough, cough

Hmmm … throat’s acting a little weird this morning.  Could be one of two things: either the mock orange hedges are about to bloom or I’m coming down with another cold .. crap!  Doesn’t surprise me, though because people around me have been sick lately.  I’ll try and fend the virus off with vitamin C …

The Weekend

Slept in late this morning for the first time in a long while … finally got up around 9am.  I’m an early riser (usually up around 5:30 – 6:00am) so I guess I must’ve really been tired!  Anyway, I had to get an early start yesterday (Saturday) because I was playing the morning round of …

Aloha Friday again!

Good morning, y’all! I promised you guys that I would post up photos from the recent storm we had.  These two were sent by my good friend Ralph, who lives in Kailua, O’ahu, and were sent to him by a friend who lives in nearby Lanikai.  You can see the Mokulua Islands in the foreground …
