Back home ….

Aloha, peeps, and hope y’all had a great weekend!  Just found out that today is the beginning of back-to-school (ugh!) which means that traffic’s going to be a huge mess.  For those of you who don’t have kids in school, I’d highly recommend that you wait a bit before heading out on the road … …

Flossie’s comin’ ….

Aloha, everyone, and hope you all are having a GREAT Monday morning!  It’s pouring up here in the valley as Tropical Storm Flossie slowly advances towards the isles with typical hurricane-like weather with lots of heavy, humid air.  The worst part is that traffic’s gonna be a bitch today … Last week was a great …

June update ….

Aloha, everyone! As I predicted, last week was pretty hectic for both ‘IOLANI and ManoaDNA.  On the business end, I finished up work on a project for next year and turned it over to our attorneys for review.  I’m a little nervous since I know this is where deals tend to fall apart … damn …

Happy “Aloha Monday” to you all!  June is already half gone and it feels like May just ended … boy, this year is going by so quickly!  I hope all my fellow dads (and single moms!) enjoyed a great Father’s Day yesterday.  I had an awesome day which started off with a morning round of …

June is upon us …

Aloha, peeps!  So now we’re all pau with May and into June which means graduations and weddings.  Another sign that I’m getting old is when I start getting invitations to my friends’ kids’ kids’ baby lu’au!  How’s that for a mind bender?!  Hahaha!  Anyway, we performed at the annual Punahou Alumni Lu’au last Saturday which …
