Dear Family and Friends, I suspect most of us go through life hoping we’ll never have to see a surgeon. Well my day came the year before the pandemic began. I was nervous at first, but my surgeon-to-be turned out to be quite personable and quickly put me at ease. That was until he whipped

Dear Family and Friends, Have you heard that old saying, like father like son? Well, it’s not always true. I have fond memories of my childhood home tucked away in the back of Palolo Valley.

Dear Family and Friends, “On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the

Dear Family and Friends, I have a confession. I’m starting to see signs of apathy in myself, the most glaring of which is caring less and less about the COVID-related deaths reported daily. This relentless virus is causing a staggering number of deaths in our community. To put it into perspective, do you recall all

Dear Family and Friends, We were driving through a rather raunchy part of downtown this past week when we spotted tourists wandering the streets. One could tell they were not local because 1) they wore bright red matching aloha attire, and 2) they were wandering around downtown. We all know better, don’t we? If we
