Reset

Over the years, I added one blog after another. A History of Migration. Pickled Mango Hawaii. Urban Bucket Garden. Ala Wai Soul. Nothing ambitious, just outlets for my thoughts (and yours) about a few things that I find interesting. (Prior to that, there was Rainbow Sports Network and Hawaii Sports Network, both labors of love that are now buried under the cyber dust of time. Honda Report had a big goal at the start, but that de-evolved over time, and eventually I went to work at my dream destination.)

But time is scarce and the blogs I started have gone without a new post for 2. 3, even 10 years. As in BEFORE @BARACKOBAMA BECAME PRESIDENT.

Now is a good time to bunch everything together, as longtime friend Mr. Hornet once suggested, rather than split them up. So there will be food. Pictures of food. That's one thing we do well in the islands. And various other stuff, including sports-related wordage that fits better here than in a publication. Or stuff that didn't make the cut due to space limitations. There's often a waterfall of words and pics, an overflow.

Some material will be random. Some will be focused. Some might be pertinent to you. Some might be pure glucose — no nutritional value. Most of it will be short, which in my definition is less than 300 words, and there will be lots of photos. LOTS. The difference between now and before is this fantastic thing they call an iPhone. Prior to getting one two years ago, I used a flip phone. What took me so long? I don't know. I'm still asking myself. Texting got 1,000,000,000x better. Photos? Infinitely more effective.

Feedback always welcome. Be assured, though, that a lot of stuff here will not be connected in any way. There is no theme looping it all together. It's mostly casual, day-in-the-life stuff with the occasional prep sports thought. God is good :)

Saints confirm QB Akana returning

There is risk and there is reward. St. Francis senior Bubba Akana is rolling on risk and reward. The talented three-sport letterman has an offer on the table to play baseball for Hawaii. When a football teammate recently mentioned that Akana would sit out to focus on baseball, Saints football (and baseball) coach Kip Akana -- Bubba's father -- cleared the air. "When he gets back (from a mainland baseball tournament), he'll rejoin the football team as he has all these years.  I want to make it clear," Coach Akana said. "UH is very supportive of high school athletes participating in any sport." That news is huge for the Saints. Akana, the two-year starter at QB, is among the most experienced returning signal-callers in the state. The Saints also have a promising slinger in Jonan Aina-Chaves , a strong-armed junior. "We are pleased with the work that Jonan has done.  He is more than capable to guide this team to a championship,...

Wonderlove: The concert I regret missing

I had an innervision of going to see this concert when I was in high school. The problem was I didn't have the $25 or whatever it cost, and I didn't know anybody else who seriously wanted to catch the bus to Aloha Stadium. BIG MISTAKE. I should've found a way to go. Stevie in his prime... only in te years to follow, after devouring all of his 1970s work, did I realize he wasn't just a pop music icon, but one of the greatest artists of our generation. Still is. Talent is measurable. Genius is not, unless we count the tens of millions of souls he has touched with the gift he has honed. I haven't been to many concerts at all. I saw Earth Wind & Fire in 1978 only because my sister had an extra ticket. It was incredible. But I've always had to work on concert nights in the years since. I liked his music so much — along with EWF, Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye — I could just listen to my vinyl records on our old record player for hours and hours. By the time I was i...
