UH Triumph and Defeat

We followed Colt's rise to glory, not just him, mind you, but the team as a whole. Heartbreaking when he was targeted by the Georgia Bulldogs, but hey, that is what the game can bring out in opponents.

Colt Brennan will be leaving the islands soon and so aloha, kid. You have your education. If sports will not suit you, then something else even better will come along, right? Of course right.

Good luck kid. We'll always cheer you on.

With Friends

Dwane looks great here. Looks like 2008 will be a promising year. Now if I can get him to knock it off with the politics.

Ha! Fat chance, huh buddy?

Four in the morning and we old guys are still tossing shots into our bellies. The kids have long gone back to their hotel rooms, Tom is somewhere, but I don't care at this point (hic)

Happy New Year, you crazy people, from the middle of the sea!

I don't know why, but I've had a ball coming across these. Good way to start the new year.

I Still Enjoy The Fruitcake Lady

I love the Fruitcake lady. She's bold, honest, sassy, off-coloured, and she's most likely dead. Sad, that.

November Begins

. . . and the world is just as crazy, especially here in Hawaii. This ferry business has really confused a lot of people. No one knows who to trust regarding the ecological safety precautions, if they'd been observed or what . . . It's a nice looking boat. It's modern. It looks clean. I hear there are monitors that would help the superferry in steering clear of large sea life, whales in particular.

My stance on this superferry is that it would be great for the islands all around, but the powers that be went about setting this up along shifty lines, bypassing protocols that should have been observed. There were a lot of people who thought they had jobs and lost them. No money making means no employee staff. I'm surprised the CEO hadn't walked out on the islands sooner. I would not have blamed him, nor the investors of this venture.

As a bystander with no clout in this situation, I can only shake my head. Will somebody with some brains take the helm please?

I hear the service will start November 15th. We'll see. I wonder if there will be further demonstrations of violence against fellow islanders using the superferry?

Shameful lot.

Samhain Babe

Not many suited up for the festivities this year, but there were the faithful. Darla dressed as Maid Marian, I think. She loves to play during this time of year . . . I mean nicely. Get your heads outta the gutter!

Blast From My Past

Thanks, Walt, for the picture. Man, was that really me over 40 years ago?
