CONTINUED - from Part 1 of Mission: Waikiki 
2 cars made to look like the A-Team van?!?! My mind reeled as I tried to comprehend how this could be. 1 faux A-Team Van - that I could understand. But 2? Something was going on underneath the noses of the people living in this fair city, as […]

It was less than a week ago when the phone rang. Very early in the morning, at least in Hawaii time. I struggled out of my slumber and grabbed the phone:
“PL speaking”
“The Cat in the Hat” said the voice at the other end.
“The Squid in the Shorts” I countered, giving the counter-sign.
“Plate - we’ve got […]

Usually I can’t discuss the nature of the work I do for government agencies - our own government as well as those of other countries. Often there are far-reaching consequences to what I do - or don’t do - for my clients. However, despite these restrictions, I can lift the veil on my current pursuit. […]

My idea for the SuperFerry (see previous post) didn’t gain the support needed. Still, I’m working around the clock here at the Capitol trying to find middle ground between both sides of this battle.
During breaks at this special session I’ve used the time to stretch my legs, walking around the different floors of the building. […]

As all Islanders know - and many Mainlanders - there has been a big controversy here around the Superferry. It’s the first inter-island travel option to allow residents and tourists to bring their vehicles along.

Yes, Ja, Oui, Si - I have returned to the Islands after a prolonged absence. My Uncle Abie, short for Abacus, was taken ill and I hurried to his bedside. Unfortunately, he wasn’t there - he was in the hospital. So, after a quick stop over in Vegas to see a professional Slap Fight, I […]

Aloha -
While my schedule is keeping me too busy to blog fully, I thought I’d pass on some ideas for keeping ‘local’ alive. You may want to print them out or even write them down. I find writing things down helps me to remember them better and longer.
Here’s the link to the list of ideas […]

Aloha again to you all -
I thought I’d continue with some of my history Not just so I could talk about myself, but also because it shows how much the Islands have changed. I can remember it like it was only a couple of weeks before yesterday.
I was only a small child on the day […]

As a longtime resident of Hawaii, I’m concerned with keeping Hawaii’s way of life intact. That’s why I’ve accepted the office of Chairman of H.O.B.R.A. - Hawaii Old school Braddas (and Sistas) Revival Association.
Join us in maintaining and celebrating how we live here. Please feel free to leave your name/email if you’d like to […]

I was once interested in archaeology, thinking that I could work under my Uncle Belli who was excavating a site in Egypt. That quickly fell apart when things went wrong at his dig. This transcript of an interview my Uncle did will explain why my plans ended so abruptly.
“Thank you for taking time out from […]
