Out in the Country (Sort of)

Last Sunday I ventured out to Golden Gate Park for the afternoon.  I can’t even remember the last time I was there – maybe for the Outside Lands Festival in 2008.  The occasion for this visit was the Second Annual Aloha Poly Festival being held in the Hall of Flowers.  Beings it was only the … Continue reading »

Catching Up

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July.  Mine was less than spectacular.  I had begun coming down with strep throat, so spent the majority of the day in bed.  It made me miss those sick days when there was a boyfriend/husband to spoil me with kisses, hugs, wonton soup and lots of cuddling.  I … Continue reading »

Onward to the Palace

My friend had to cancel breakfast on Tuesday morning ’cause he was sick.  Thus, I lounged by the pool a tad longer than usual. Still feeling cultural, I headed off to Iolani Palace.  The last time I was in the Palace was probably 1994.  They no longer offer guided tours, only audio ones.  Entrance was … Continue reading »

Memorial Day Weekend

I didn’t stray too far from my hotel, after all, last Sunday.  The Charthouse was about a block and a half away, so I popped in there for a drink and possibly a bite to eat.  The crowd consisted of mostly older couples and Japanese tourists listening to a drunken duo play Hawaiian music.  I … Continue reading »

Bonne Anniversaire, Mon Amour!

Today is the birthday of my ex-husband.  Maybe it was coincidence that I ran into one of his French friends this morning that I rarely see.  Since I bear no ill will towards him in the least, let me amuse you with a few memories of him. I miss him waiting for me after work … Continue reading »

What All The Cool Kids Eat

A friend of mine from another state introduced me to a new craze – cookie butter.  He was in Cali for a conference, shall we say, when he got a request to bring some cookie butter back home.  I’d never heard of cookie butter before.  He told me that friends of his had brought some … Continue reading »

Told Ya So!

Remember the T.V. series, “Will and Grace,” where she does the “told ya so” dance when she was right?  Well, remember when Maoli and Jordan T. were here back in September for a concert? Although they were standing right outside the venue and I could have asked them for a photo, I didn’t.  Why?  Because … Continue reading »

Return to the Land of Smiles and the Island of the Gods

Even though cruising the Greek Isles briefly crossed my mind as my major vacation for later this year, it would still be much more expensive than going to Southeast Asia.  Thus, my plans are to return to Thailand (but NOT over-touristy Phuket) and, yes, to Bali.  I’m willing to give Thailand another try – in … Continue reading »

Oinkeroo Rides Again

So there’s this Italian waiter at an Italian restaurant that’s my friend on Facebook.  He sent me a message telling me about this 4-course prix fixe Italian dinner with wine pairing at Ristorante Milano for $85, including the wine!  Casatellani Winery out of Pisa, Italy would be introducing their wines with each of the courses. … Continue reading »
