Countdown begins …

Good morning ohana & friends!  It’s another BEEE-YOOOTIFUL morning in Manoa and we just got back from our puppy walk.  As the cool Manoa rain mists came down the valley and the sun began to peek over the Ko’olaus, I suddenly had a strong sense that our kupuna were present and smiling down on us …

Lulu’s tonight!

Howzit everybody!  It’s Friday again … man, this week really flew by didn’t it?  We performed for Fashion Night at the Ala Moana Center last night and boy was it humid!  We had fun, though, and want to thank Katie and the marketing staff at Ala Moana for inviting us to perform.  We’ve got a …

No golf :-(

I won’t be able to do my usual Thursday afternoon golf with my buddies 🙁 ’cause we have to perform for a promotion at the Ala Moana Center this afternoon.  I have no idea what it’s for, but it’s scheduled so I’m there.  I picked up the new L.R. Baggs D.I. (connects my guitar to …

Good morning!

Aloha, everyone!  It’s a quiet Wednesday morning here in Manoa and we’ve just returned from our morning puppy walk.  Our dear friend Linda, who was supposed to arrive yesterday, flies in today because she overslept and missed her flight!  Get a new alarm clock, girl!  And did you guys read Nick’s blog about Budget Rent-a-Car?  …

Busy Tuesday

Good morning!  I have a very busy Tuesday – meetings throughout the day and our good friend Linda is flying in today from Seattle to spend a few months with us.  The puppies are going to be so happy to see her (especially me, because now I won’t have to walk them every morning!). :-)  …

Labor Day

It’s Labor Day … a national holiday to do absolutely nothing!  I’m going to try and play some squash this morning if I can walk our puppies early enough.  Then I’m probably going to spend the rest of the day doing odd chores around our house, and maybe even give the dogs a bath.  And …

ManoaDNA LIVE!

We had our first live internet broadcast of ManoaDNA LIVE from Lulu’s in Waikiki last night!  Boy, was it fun!!  It was interesting to see the number of internet viewers increase as the evening went on … I hope everyone enjoyed our version of reality TV!  I think the boys are going to it again …

One more week …

… before we return to beautiful Japan for another promotional tour!  We will be representing Hawaii Tourism at the Tokyo Big Sight convention center for the JATA World Trade Fair, before moving on to Sapporo for two performances at the Factory. I had a terrible golf score yesterday – 93!  For some reason my drives …

Fun night!

We had pau hana cocktails with the girls from StudioRim Hawaii last night at Imanas Tei, a great izakaya restaurant near Puck’s Alley.  That was the first time I’ve gone there, and I thought the food, drink, and ambience were great!  We talked about the upcoming shows in Sapporo and some of the fun things …
