I'm preparing for my first trip to the mainland in more than a year. Cheri and I will be flying into San Francisco Airport on Thursday and staying at a hotel in South San Francisco for the night. The next day, we will pick up our rental car at a nearby Enterprise and drive directly to SoCal to Los Angeles to meet up with Cheri's best friend, ( Read more... )

The End of 2010 has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? It has that slight rhyme that suggest this past year was a jolly and educational one, full of experiences that I will carry on for the rest of my life and pit falls that will define the sharpest memories in my mind ( Read more... )

I'm pretty moved into what could be my future in-laws house. Save for a few empty shelves and a desk at my parents house, I'm all moved out. How does it feel? Pretty awkward ( Read more... )

You know, growing up in Hawaii is a little different that growing up in other places in the U.S..

For years, I've gone to school and learned all sorts of ideas of religion, government, geography, writing and death and suicide and life and the after life and blah blah blah and it's ( Read more... )

Congratulations Amy and James. It was wonderful to see you two share the ultimate rendezvous of love on Sunset Beach yesterday. I knew it was a hectic and busy event for the both of you and I'm just glad that you were grateful and thought of me as such a close friend that you would include me in your intimate gathering ( Read more... )

Sometimes I ask myself questions that are hard to answer. I feel like I shouldn't have to answer these questions because these are questions that one doesn't ask.
