I’m spending the day at home today, trying to recover from the cold which I caught over the weekend. Boy, this sucks! I couldn’t even take the puppies for a walk since it was windy and rainy outside this morning. I still need to run a couple of errands though, so I’ll probably get going …
Well, it looks like I may have come down with a slight cold … bummer! My throat feels a little swollen and congested and I’m feeling a little fatigued so I’ll probably lay low this week and try to get as much rest as possible before we leave for Japan next week. Alex & I …
Last night was so much fun! We performed with our full MDNA band on the main stage at Ala Moana Center in front of a huge crowd and were immediately followed by an awesome display of fireworks that seemed to go on forever! Our kupuna also sent us a huge blessing in the form of …
It’s July 4th … a day to celebrate our country’s independence and to reflect on the importance of the freedoms we in America enjoy, especially during these tough times. I think about my dad and the countless others who fought to defend those freedoms and feel a great sense of pride and humility as we …
Puppies woke me up very early this morning … probably startled by an avocado falling on our roof! They love the baby avocados that fall from our backyard tree – we’re constantly finding half-eaten ones scattered throughout our house.  I’m still trying to learn the lyrics to the new song we’re performing for the …

We are mid-way through 2009 and the year is going by so quickly! Hawaii’s new cell phone ban goes into effect today for all drivers – you’ll be hit with a hefty fine if you’re caught talking or texting on your cell phone while driving. I think it’s a good thing since I’ve seen so …
I just finished watering my plants – two white hibiscus plants, two mountain apple, and an avocado sapling – which I’m growing in large pots. The avocado plant grew out of one of the avocado pits that came from our old tree in the backyard, so I’m hoping that it will bear the same great …
My how the weekend flies by when you’re having fun! It’s the start of another busy week for us filled with rehearsals, performances, and … oh yeah, work! Nick and I played golf yesterday with our golf group and Nick won his flight with a net score of 69, while I struggled in with a …
Those are the first words to a song that Nick sings … very appropriate since it’s Sunday morning and the rain IS falling! As I sit here on our lanai and enjoy the cool & refreshing morning breeze (with my usual cup of strong coffee, of course!), I notice little tiny avocados are starting to …
