Another Thursday …

Howzit, everybody … hope y’all are having a great week!  Besides the usual meetings, this week has been pretty normal although I’m not quite sure what normal is these days.  Yesterday, we did a recording for Hawaiian Airlines’ (they don’t like to be called “Hawaiian Air” anymore) in-flight audio entertainment program over at Pacific Music …

Weekend recap

Aloha, everyone!  As you can tell, I’m only writing one or two blogs a week now and have started posting daily updates via Facebook, Instagram, and soon-to-come Twitter.  This WordPress app has always been a royal pain in the ass and it’s so much easier to keep you guys current via the other social media …

Worst parking lot

Howzit, peeps.  The votes are in and the parking structure voted the worst in Honolulu belongs to the Hyatt Waikiki.  It is THE worst!  The driveways are so narrow that you often have to stop and back up to let a car come down.  I’m surprised that they haven’t had more head-on collisions in that …

Great weekend so far …

Howzit, everyone!  Hope y’all are enjoying a great weekend … I know I am.  Since Alex is in LA working on a special project, ManoaDNA is off for about a week so I’m just going to spend the down time catching up on some work.  I played golf yesterday with some of my former high …

MLK holiday!

Aloha, everyone …. It’s Martin Luther King Day, a national holiday which celebrates the life of a man dedicated to peace and racial equality.  A truly great man … It’s another cool & crisp morning here in Manoa with light northerly trades keeping me in sweatshirt mode … love this weather!   Carla & Kamalei are …

Still cold … sort of

Hi peeps, The mornings have been absolutely gorgeous this week – cold, crisp, and not a cloud in the sky … so clear that the mountain ridges look like sharp razors cutting into the sky.  Mornings are my favorite time of day because my mind is clear & calm, the coffee’s hot, and everything around …

Back in the Islands ….

Aloha, friends! It’s been a few days since we got back from SF … thank goodness, no jet lag – yet!  Our last day in SF was quite mellow since Alex was still under the weather, so we went out and got a couple of pizzas from Tony’s, grabbed a couple of beers from the …

Last day in SF …

‘Morning, all! It’s our last day in SF and I just woke up to a beautiful clear Sunday morning!  It’s still pretty cold outside … lower 40s I think … but nowhere near as cold as Napa!  Went up to the Regency Club to grab some oatmeal and coffee while waiting for the boys to …

Napa and more ….

‘Morning, everyone, We’ve been spending the last couple of days in beautiful Napa visiting various wineries, enjoying some great food & wine, and freezing our tails off!  We’re on our annual boys-only birthday trip which became a tradition after I started taking my sons to Vegas (naturally!) after they turned 21.  Getting tired of losing …

Aloha Monday!

Good morning! Got up early this morning and it’s raining again … hope it’s just one of Manoa’s morning blessings and not another storm front coming in.  Physically, I’m definitely feeling much better now even though I have some congestion and a cough.  Having a weekend to rest has done wonders for this old body, …
