Sheraton Hawaii Bowl Prediction

Sheraton Hawaii Bowl Prediction

Okay, so I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted (why do so many of my posts seem to start out this way?) but I’ve been on vacation and there hasn’t been anything really exciting during my vacation (I got new screens, a new stove and hopefully my door will be fixed soon). If Keao will give me some pics from this past weekend’s Children’s Church choir’s performance I’ll write some little observations on what I learned from the…

Everybody Scream, Everybody Scream in our Town of Halloween

Everybody Scream, Everybody Scream in our Town of Halloween

Halloween, a holiday based on trying to get as much candy as you can all the while dressing up so no one can see what a greedy glutton you are. The more I think about it, the more I think Halloween is really for sneaky freeloaders. I mean, it’s not like Christmas where you’re expected to give a gift in return when someone gives you a gift. You really don’t need to do anything at all (except maybe dress up…

You Don’t Look a Day Over 60!

You Don’t Look a Day Over 60!

So much has been made about my brother and I. What I mean by this is that Stanton and I are full brothers but we don’t look or act alike. In fact, despite having the same last name and the same parents and we live in the same house and work at the same place (you get the picture) many people never put it together that we’re related. Then when they find out that we’re brothers they often ask us…

Getting Punched by the Flyin’ Hawaiian

Getting Punched by the Flyin’ Hawaiian

Today we celebrated 25 years of Hope Chapel in Hawaii! Last year we had an all-church picnic/celebration at Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park and it was such a success that this year we decided to repeat the celebration but because it was our 25th anniversary we decided to also invite all of the other Hope Chapels in Hawaii. Needless to say, it was a big party that we called Splashdown ’08, the Reunion. It was a wonderful day full of wonderful…

Everybody’s Got a Laughin’ Place

Everybody’s Got a Laughin’ Place

Ahh, Saturday. Saturday brings so much joy. Saturday is the end of the week. Saturday is usually a day off or a fun event. And of course, during the fall, Saturday is college football. This week, I really needed Saturday. It had been a long draining week. First Charlie would not behave. He kept finding ways to bite his paw even though we had extended his collar and tried to do everything we possibly could. At night before I go…

Arts and Crafts are Fun!

Arts and Crafts are Fun!

Hi. Welcome back. I know it’s been a while and I haven’t even gotten any Japan pictures up yet, but since I’ve been home I’ve been crazy busy. Not just busy, crazy busy. So sorry for the delay. We’ll return to our regularly scheduled program. Oh, and sorry this post won’t be about Japan either. I mean to get some pics up since it was an amazing trip, but there are more pressing matters at hand. Actually, there’s one pressing…

Live from New York…it’s Monday Night!

Live from New York…it’s Monday Night!

Whew, we finally made it. A while ago John-John and I heard that UH was playing the Florida Gators at the Swamp and we decided that if all possible we should go to that game. Well, one thing led to another and we also decided that since Shea Stadium (home of the Mets) and Yankee Stadium (home of the Yankees) were being torn down at the end of the year to make room for new ballparks we only had one…

Eh, Malama ka Aina!

Eh, Malama ka Aina!

Today we decided to give back. Give back to the aina that is. We wanted to do something that would help our community so what better thing to do than to “Bash the Trash”? In partnership with our church, Hope Chapel Kaneohe Bay, we did a Kaneohe cleanup on Kamehameha Highway between Likelike Highway and Haiku Road. All I can say is that people, not everyone, but enough of them, are slobs. I mean, we only picked up trash on…

If They Could See Me Now That Little Gang of Mine

If They Could See Me Now That Little Gang of Mine

Happy Anniversary Keao!!! Today Keao and I celebrated our one year anniversary. We actually celebrated last night with a night in Waikiki, but since it’s a leap year this year, a full 365 days did pass and today is actually day 366 (but who’s counting?). I can’t believe this year has gone by so quickly. It just seems like last week we were buying our first Christmas tree (Keao wrote about it here) and then heading to N’awlins for the…
