It’s 2 days before Christmas and I haven’t done any shopping yet. I’m not sure whether I’m motivated enough to battle the crowds at the mall anyway, so I won’t worry about presents this year. I do want to make sure that we make some charitable contributions before the end of the year, though … …
Boy, what a difference a week makes! Last week was absolute CHAOS .. this week is sooo nice and mellow! That’s because yesterday was IOLANI’s last official work day for 2009 – we will be closed through Christmas and New Year’s – and we will reopen again on Jan. 4th ready to take on the …
It’s another beautiful Manoa Monday morning, and I’m so glad we got through last weeks craziness. Alex is done with exams, so we can relax a bit and work on MDNA projects which include a new CD and ManoaDNA radio show which will begin broadcasting in Nagoya on Radio-I in January. And I can’t believe …
Good morning all! It’s Saturday and the northerly winds are making things a bit cool around here, but it’s still very nice! This was the first time that our little recording studio was warmer inside than outside ’cause it’s usually freezing in there! Carla came home last night after having gall bladder surgery and she …
The countdown has started … we have exactly one more week before Christmas! I can’t believe how quickly December is going … where have all the days gone?! Alex finishes the last of his final exams today, and I just got word that Carla’s surgery went well and that she is now in recovery so …
Aloha everyone! We performed at the Honolulu Club’s annual Christmas party last night after spending most of the day in the recording studio … man, were we tired at the end of the night! Plus, there was some drunk at the party who kept on bugging us about how we needed to have a bass …
‘Morning all! We’ve been having such beautiful clear and cool mornings for the last couple of weeks … man, I love our winter weather! There’s no wind, though, and it seems like we’re getting some vog from the Big Island so hopefully the tradewinds will return soon. We’re back in the studio today recording a …
Gutten morgen, meine freunden! I think that’s German for “Good morning, my friends!” … I took 2 years of German in high school and still remember a little of it. German seems so much easier to me than Japanese for some reason .. Japanese has so many different noun & verb structures depending on what …
It’s Monday, and the start of one of the busiest weeks in MDNA history! While Alex has final exams all week, we also have to perform or attend a special function every night this week. In addition, we have to go into the recording studio to do the final recording for a very important TV …
Aloha! It’s Sunday morning and we’re playing golf at the Royal Kunia golf course this afternoon. It’s always fun to golf with the boys and their friends … these young guys hit the ball far but not always straight! 🙂  Before we go, however, the boys and I have to work on our MANOA …
