I haven't been able to update in a while, but with really good reason.

My wrist is broken.

The short version is that I took a REALLY big wipe out and my board slammed my wrist into the reef rock.

Typing is not easy. Nor is it pain free.

Sandy's was so much better, I cannot begin to describe it.

There was a crowd, but far more experienced surfers -- the kinds of people who know how to see if someone else is set up for a wave. I don't mean to be harsh on the kids, but they are such dumb asses in the water.

I got about 5 really good rides and...

Pi'i mai ka nalu
Pi'i mai ka nalu
E he'enalu kakou.


Man, did I bite it over at Queens.

It was embarrassing. Really embarrassing.

There's a south swell but nothing major -- 4-6 feet, but definitely worth going for a ride after work.

I think I might have to try to fix that one of these days.

Mahalo nui loa (many thanks) to Bee for a great demonstration of why she is on my favorites list.

Stunning set, hon.

Someone sent me an email asking about venues in Hawai'i for a show, but I accidentally deleted the mail without remembering who it was!

Dude, if you are reading this, I have some ideas, but don't remember your member name.

I'd pay real money if my students would stop talking about the new Harry Potter movie.

A lot of fandoms frighten me.

Have you ever wondered why so many people would rather ignore the world around them than get upset about it?

I think that has to describe the average Bush voter.

Climbed the Aihualama Pu'u 'Ohia trail Saturday.

Once you get past Manoa Falls there is a wicked stretch that switchbacks up the wall of Manoa valley 15 times. You gain about 1000 feet of elevation by the end of that.

The trail ends at the top of Pu'u 'Ohia overlooking Honolulu -- in one direction you can see out to the Waianae Coast. In the...

I don't think it is fair that the burlesque tour doesn't make it to Hawai'i
