I’m sitting here watching the PGA Championship and I just watched Tiger Woods slice his tee shot into the sand bunker. He’s so good, though, that he’ll probably still end up parring or maybe even birdie the hole … unlike me, who would hack my way to a bogey or buzzard! Man, I love this …
Good morning from rainy Manoa Valley! We finally had a good rain last night so that should restore some of the green in our yard. The days have been hot and dry since we got home so I’m hoping it’ll start to cool off soon. I had my usual post-trip round of golf yesterday - …
It’s Thursday which means I’ll be doing battle with my golf buddies this afternoon! I sure hope my game is ok … no telling when the jet lag monster will rear its ugly head! I felt pretty good all day yesterday but had a little trouble getting to sleep last night, so I guess my …
Good morning all! I tried something new yesterday – after getting home and unpacking, I immediately went down to the club to play squash and work out. Someone told me once that if you worked out immediately after your flight, it would minimize the effects of jet lag and help you adjust to the new …
It’s around 10:30 am and we just arrived home after a long overnight flight from Narita. We left Sapporo at 1:45 pm “today” (Japan time is 19 hours ahead of Hawaii), connected to our flight out of Tokyo. We saw a lot of musicians and dancers who were returning from the Na Hiwahiwa concert in …
It’s Saturday here in Japan and the skies have become quite overcast due to the passing typhoon. It was media day yesterday at JATA and we had one performance and another radio interview in the afternoon. We attended another reception at the Hawaii booth and the food was catered by this local Japanese restaurant, Ogo’s …
Good morning everyone! It’s Day 1 for the JATA World Trade Fair and since it’s media day, we’re only doing one performance at noon today. We’ll be attending a reception later this evening, so we won’t be able to join our dear friends, the Taguchis, for some great Tokyo shabu shabu … oh well, maybe …
Good morning all! It’s our 2nd day in Tokyo and I’ve been up since 3:30am due to the awful jet lag! Since we were all up early, we went over to the Tsukiji fish market and watched the fish auctions. Check out the size of some of those bluefin tuna .. man, that’s a lot …
Hello all … well, we arrived safe and sound after a comfortable, but long, 8 hr. flight! The weather is nice but overcast … rain is expected this weekend as a typhoon is expected to pass near Japan. I had a meeting this afternoon right after we arrived, and then we all went to Katsukura …
Hey everybody! Had an absolutely horrible round of golf today out at Waikele … I couldn’t hit the ball to save my life! Plus, it was a very hot day and play was SO slow that it took us almost 6 hours to finish! Not exactly the ideal conditions for a great golf day … …
