Watching Maunalua on PBS Na Mele. And old one. Always loved Maunalua. They’ve stayed true to the tradition and understand where each song came from.


At this point in my life, I don’t want learn a new trade or “advance my career” or use AI to do much of anything. I just want to get safely to retirement and read more books, find more old Hawaiian music and explore. My wife is 2 yrs younger. I can’t really retire till she does, she’s home based.


The Como football ground is stunning.


Como had made a good showing this season. Feisty bunch. Former Arsenal legend Cesc Fàbregas is their manager.


I had completely by-passed ESPN since everything worth watching is behind a cable wall. Got used to CBS sports extra. the upcoming ESPN all-inclusive bundled with Disney might be the answer.


I had really soured on Sonos, but Clic for Sonos is a breath of fresh air

There’s a full court press for Lilo and Stitch. I think they’re down to interviewing extras.


I found these pix of the Naniloa pier. We had to do a quick repair to make it usable for a ceremony before the Voyage to Rapa Nui in 1999


Guarantee people will be executed over this.

Trump is chaos theory at its core


Just finished The Brutalist. Powerful movie. Not a big fan of brutalist architecture. More a fan of smaller structures made from natural materials.


The mid day coffee had been expended


I’ve been paying for 50 years


I don’t need the gory details, I just read the headlines and I know what MAGA has done. They are inherently evil.


Hawaii News now is at the Arizona Memorial this morning. We went there for school field trips a lot. I Worked with people in the 80s who remember the attack as kids.


Think I need to watch a Jason Bourne movie today.
