Aloha, everyone! It’s Monday, Nov. 4th, and pretty soon the holidays will be upon us! It’s amazing how quickly this year has gone by … seems like it was just yesterday that we were putting away all of our Christmas decorations! In any case, the holiday season is such a joyous time for me … …
Aloha, friends. It’s great to be back … traveling is fun, but coming home always makes me appreciate how lucky we are to live in Hawai’i! Vegas was fun, though … the weather was gorgeous but my golf game sucked – again! I really have to get my elbow checked out .. I tried resting …
Aloha, all! It’s Monday, Oct. 14th … Columbus Day here in the U.S., and Thanksgiving Day in Canada. The holiday probably won’t affect too many U.S. federal workers, though, since many are not working due to the government’s shutdown. Oh well, we can only hope that Congress and our President finally realize that it’s about …
A perfect day to stay in and watch NFL football – great match-ups, an onolicious chili omelet and hot Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, and a cool, rainy, overcast day … simply purrrrfect! Meanwhile, excitement continues to build for both MDNA and ‘IOLANI as we head into the last quarter of 2013. ‘IOLANI will be celebrating its …
Happy Aloha Tuesday! After a week of intensely hot humid weather, the cool trades are back along with the Manoa rain! Yay!! Feeling much better now … Things continue to slowly return to normal … September’s been pretty steady as far as gigs go for MDNA. The group’s been alternating with Alex’s solo performances at …
Aloha, friends! It’s Wednesday, Sept. 11th … 12 years ago our country was brutally sucker-punched by a group of Islamic terrorists. Over 3,000 people died in the attack on New York’s World Trade Center which eventually sent our military forces into Iraq and Afghanistan. Will this ever end?? No way … man has used religion …
Aloha, friends. “TGIS” … Thank God It’s September!!  I will not survive another month like August .. it was absolutely THE WORST month ever! Not only did I lose my mom, but a couple of good friends and acquaintances also lost family members. On August 22nd, we bid aloha to my mom in a beautiful …
Aloha, everyone! During the last two weeks, I’ve experienced a great “high” and several “lows” … pretty volatile, I’d say! I’m just going to tell you about the “high” … I celebrated my birthday with my family and some close friends over on the island of Lana’i this past weekend. It was one of the …
Aloha, folks. It’s been a week since my mom passed away and it certainly has been a rough ride for me emotionally. It was really hard losing my dad 4 years ago, but losing mom totally devastated me … I couldn’t function for days and basically withdrew from the world. I tried searching for her …
Aloha, everyone. There’s a new angel in heaven this morning … my mother Edith passed away peacefully last night at the age of 91. She was the best mom, grandma, and great grandma anyone could ever ask for, and losing her has left a big void in our hearts. But even though the sorrow is …
