Happy Halloween!

I hope you all are having a great Halloween!  I played golf this morning in our Fall Club Day tournament out at Waialae … didn’t score too well but made an eagle on hole #5!  It was a beautiful morning for golf since the tradewinds are back and the vog is gone!  We’re getting ready …

Calm Thursday

Another calm, voggy day in Paradise … the vog reminds me of the smog in LA and Tokyo except our vog is temporary!  We always get it whenever the winds shift to the south and blows volcanic “vog” up the island chain. We had a fun evening over at Nick’s place last night with great …

Mid-week Wednesday …

I picked more avocados this morning and plan to take them down to our offices to give to our staff.  It’s amazing how you wait months for the fruit to ripen and then have to pick them all at once … it’s either feast or famine!  Our puppies slept in late this morning – VERY …

Boring Tuesday

Ok … nothing’s going on today other than the fact that it’s going to continue to be hot and muggy again!  And we’re being told that these sticky conditions will remain with us through the week – yuck!!  We even had to sleep with the air conditioner for the first time last night, which I …

It’s Monday

It’s Monday and we’re starting to get ready for our final trip to Japan for 2009!  This will be a special trip for all of us since my mom, Carla, and my sister, Pat, will also be accompanying us.  My mom is especially looking forward to seeing her relatives when we go to Hiroshima next …

Sunday morning

Welcome all to another gorgeous morning here in Manoa Valley!  Because there are no tradewinds and the air is very still, I could actually hear the roosters crowing way up in the valley near the old Paradise Park earlier!  And since I’m golfing later this morning with my Selohssa group out at the Pearl Country …

Carla’s birthday!

Aloha everyone!  It’s Saturday and it’s Carla’s birthday … so can everybody please say “HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARLA!!”  I’m taking her to dinner tonight while the boys are going to watch UH get clobbered by Boise State out at Aloha Stadium.  I’m sorry but although I love the Warriors, I’m a realist and Boise State is …

Thursday again?!

Wow .. I can’t believe it’s Thursday already!  There’s never enough time when you have so many things to do, and believe me, we have a LOT on our plate!  Poor Alex is jamming right now to complete a demo by today’s deadline … he has the basic melody and feel down but probably has …

Hot & humid!

Boy, it suddenly got very hot & humid recently … sort of reminds me of a cooler version of Guam!  I know there are a couple of big storms in the Pacific so maybe they’re affecting our weather here.  The good news is that our avocados are almost ready to be picked – maybe a …

Quiet Tuesday

It’s about 8:30am and the Manoa rain mists are blowing through the valley.  I have a pretty slow day today … we have a radio interview this morning for our upcoming trip to Hiroshima, and then I have a few errands to run after that.  It’s much different than yesterday where I spent the majority …
