April Fools’ Day!

Aloha, peeps … did you hear that we’re all getting special $500 rebate checks from the state??  April Fools’!!  C’mon … did you really think that our government would give any money back to us?!  In your dreams!  In any case, here we are in the middle of Spring and it still feels like winter …

Good Friday …

Happy Aloha Friday, peeps!  It’s also Good Friday, the start of the Easter weekend here in paradise and a holiday for everyone except for us working stiffs!  The good thing is that it’s the end of another grueling work week and I can now relax and enjoy the weekend with the family … and what …

Weekly recap …

Aloha, friends! Well, another busy March week has gone by and April will soon be upon us.  I’m kinda stressing right now because I have so much to do and so little time (sound familiar?).  We’re working on several exciting projects for both ‘IOLANI and ManoaDNA, and it’s like trying to put together two puzzles …

March Madness …

Aloha, everyone!  It’s the start of the NCAA championship basketball tournament – also known as “March Madness”!  I’m not a basketball fan, but I do enjoy watching the college playoffs even though I can’t stand the NBA.  Also heard that the UH men’s basketball team was invited to the post-season CIT – CollegeInsider.com Tournament – …

It’s been awhile …

Hey, peeps!  I’m back … sorry I haven’t been posting many blogs lately … been kind of busy with ‘IOLANI and lots of things on my mind.  I’ll try to keep you guys up to date in the coming months even though it may be sporadic … better than nothing, I guess.  Anyway, things are …

Weekend recap …

Howzit, everybody … and welcome to another beautiful, windy Manoa morning!  Hope you all had a good weekend … ours started out with a great Friday night at Lulu’s.  Fun crowd with lots of visitors from the mainland, Japan, and Australia.  The Aussies are a blast – such fun-loving people who really appreciate our music …

Aloha Friday

‘Morning, all!  It’s Friday and the start of another busy weekend … performing at Lulu’s tonight and then at the UH basketball game tomorrow night.  I gotta tell you … even though I consider myself a seasoned musician, the thought of singing the pre-game national anthem & Hawai’i Pono’i is nerve-wracking!  It’s not the lyrics …

Happy President’s Day!!

‘Morning, FB peeps!  What better way to start off another great week than with another holiday!  Hope everyone’s enjoying this President’s Day morning … especially those of you who gathered in the pre-dawn hours down at Aloha Tower to participate in the Great Aloha Run.  I still can’t believe that Alex and Sarah got up …
