Maybe we can give them a ‘better lunch” to not go.

My last day on the front lines of the hospitality industry. Nearly 50 years of running into the fire. 🔥 I’ve done everything. Next week I’ll start working as a PBX operator. Finish my career with a soft landing rather than a crash and burn. Leave something in tank for retirement.
One of may all time favorite comercials

Mokulele Grounded. My wife and I were burned by Molulele in 2006. We were scheduled to fly our wedding party from Kona to Molokai on Molulele. They cancelled our flight with 4 days notice. They offered to charter us a plane for $10K. We got married in Waikoloa and have never flown Moulele since.
Couldn’t resist. Had left over baked beans from Waimea Butcher shop. Had to add red Redondo’s hot dogs like we had it as kids.

We used to live in a big house. The amount of stuff we had grew to fill the space. Over a 3 year period from 2017-2020 we downsized. The last step was divesting of a storage locker full of stuff. Now in a small condo we have just enough. We still chip away at things we don’t need.
If have reason to go to Waimea or are driving through. Have lunch or dinner at the Waimea Butcher shop. Just on the wet side of Waimea, makai of Kamuela Liquors. Don’t look at the price, just order. They make everything scratch. I had pastrami and baked beans today. Double yum!

Lyrics from Huapala.
Listening to the Kahauanu Lake Trio this evening. The harmonies are smooth and tight and the Hawaiian pronunciations are perfect. They were among the first to use old Hawaiian chants and apply music to them.
Got this beauty from my friend Alvin at Kamuela liquors. I’ve had the pleasure of Alvin for over 30 years. He knew my Dad too.
The French know wine.
I first saw this quote when I was young. Every time I hit a wall, it helps me move on. There’s always a next.
Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. - John Wooden
This is such an amazing matching of songs by the Makaha Sons . Mehameha is an introspective, why am I here song. White Sandy Beach is an uplifting hopeful song.
The article is behind a paywall, but I managed at TGI Friday in the 80s. It was a leading player in Hospitality. I went to one in Corona CA in 2022. They’ve really lost their way. Couldn’t tell what they were.
