In the never-ending quest to eat fresh plants and animals I find myself shopping for groceries on my way home from the office several times a week. Yeah, there’s a Costco haul of massive proportions from time to time but the regular flow of food from the store to my face is usually done in […]

Street Parking Punchbowl Street, Kawaiaha‘o Street, Mission Lane, and S King Street in front of ‘Iolani Palace and the Hawaii State Public Library all have street […]

Greetings from the Windward Choral Society Artistic Director & Founder! I’m listening to a recording of Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living as I ponder what I’d like to share with all of you, our Windward Choral Society audience. Why this work?

I’ve flown a lot of things over the years and every one of them that I threw into the sky had some sort of checklist. Preparing to fall in the “up” direction, even if you’ve done it a zillion times and flown thousands of hours, has a certain level of stress and fun and excitement […]
My commute takes me along the Nimitz highway under the H-1 near the airport. This particular stretch has quite a few bus stops so there’s almost always one nearby pulling into and out of one. I was enjoying the adrenaline-filled 5-miles-per-hour pace that speeds along at rush hour when a bus a few cars ahead […]
I used to play a lot of golf before my back and my knees told me to stop, it’s not only a fun and challenging sport but it’s usually played in some of the most beautiful places on the planet. Good fun. One sunny Saturday my mentor and former PGA Tour pro joined me at […]
