Some guys sitting on the wall at Banyans, pondering the waves and smoking a J. Not likely to go out and catch a few, more likely to stay on the wall and wala’au.
Coffee by the ocean will be an absolutely regular thing until we move. Then many coffee by a forest may be more common

This album still gets a lot of radio airplays Especially Lucky One
Just noticed only one western team in the NCAAM basketball top 25 - Arizona. Thinking the break up of the PAC 10 and other conference realignments is the reason.
Getting Anuhea a Mac
Cute story involving Anuhea. When I was managing a Mac retailer in Kona, Kona Mac Net. She came in the store in a panic. Her bag with her Mac in it was stolen returning from a show in Tahiti. Her wallet was in there too. She needed a Mac asap. I recognized her from a couple of shows I had emceed. We were able to get her manager on Oahu on the phone and get a credit card (something we didn’t usually do) and we helped her restore data from iCloud and lock the other Mac using Find My. She was out the door in an hour.
Made wild rice with sausage. My wife being Native American made sure I knew the story of wild rice and bought the real wild rice from Minnesota

If I lived in a big city, I would most assuredly be an introvert. I am fine with small crowds, but need my space
The big reason my wife and are in what can only be described as moderate panic mode. We had both planned on retiring in what is now the window of Trumps 4 year term. We won’t have time to recover from damage done to SS, Medicare or the markets. Can only hope that they blink, not hopeful.
With seemingly nothing else stopping Musk, Trump and project 2025, we’ll see if mass protests have an effect. Otherwise, we’re only spending on necessities and keep assets as liquid as possible. Not sure even the bond market will survive if the U$ tanks on world markets.
My wife works in Healthcare. She said she’s working like normal, but is wondering what and who has been cancelled by DOGE and FOTUS today. The 2 big Federally Qualified Health Centers on Hawaii Island merged last year. If they are forced to close, shit will fly.
