Windy & rainy

Good morning! It’s 5:30am and still dark outside.  The wind is howling and the rain is coming down in sheets … a perfect start to another gorgeous day in paradise!  I just made a fresh pot of coffee and am sitting at my laptop trying to be as quiet as possible so I don’t wake …

12/12/12

I’m back!! It’s here … December 12, 2012 – 12/12/12 … enjoy this day because it won’t happen again for another hundred years.  Don’t really know what’s so important about this date except for the numerical alignment, but I’m sure someone will think of something.  Man, it sure is windy in Manoa this morning … …

Oh no, not another one!

Just heard about the 7.3 earthquake that hit Japan several hours ago … damn!  I guess the good news is that the damage appears minimal and even though a small tsunami came ashore, it was a minor one.  As soon as I heard the news I was instantly reminded of 3/11 and pray that everyone’s …

Voggy Thursday

‘Morning, all! Vog’s still around but it looks like it’s slowly clearing up even though the trades haven’t returned yet.  I sure hope they start blowing by this weekend because we definitely need some relief.  My nose itches, I sneeze constantly, and I’ve even developed a slight cough – ugh!  The good news is that …

Vog … arggghhh!!

This frickin’ vog is driving my sinuses crazy … I’m even starting to get a slight headache from the stuff!  They said that the tradewinds won’t return until later this week so we’ll have to endure the vog for a few more days … damn!  Guess I’ll have to try and stay indoors as much …

Vog hell!

‘Morning, all. This latest vog attack is one of the worst ever and it doesn’t look like it’s going to let up anytime soon.  It’s warm and humid outside and you can barely see the mountains through all the haze.  My throat and nose are pretty irritated and I’m sure people with respiratory problems are …

Weird Sunday

Hi everyone! Grrrr .. I hate this damn laptop!  I just finished 2/3 of this blog when suddenly the damn thing erased everything!  Now I gotta start all over again!  I guess it’s gonna be that kind of day … the skies are dark and overcast, and it looks like it’s going to start pouring …

Thursday & Friday

Yaaayyy!!  It’s Thursday which means golf this afternoon!  It’s been an extremely busy week so far, and today is no exception starting off with another early morning meeting at  ‘IOLANI on KONA ST.  Last night was pretty quiet over at THE SWIM in the Hyatt but we had a lot of fun with the people …

Another early morning … headed over to Arcadia to have breakfast with my mom … and it’s only 6:30am!  These guys sure eat early!  I guess it’s a good thing, though, because now I’ll have an early start to my day … albeit a very early one!  Hahaha!  Not too much happening today, though … …

Happy Tuesday, everyone! It’s almost December, the homestretch for 2012.  There’s a festive mood in the air as everyone starts to think more about the holidays and less of work.  I’ve gotta get a lot of stuff done before year end, though, so I really have to focus extra hard!  Yesterday I noticed that the …
