Bummed...
I was so excited to make the big announcement that I was asked to open the Def Leppard 2018 Hysteria Tour at their October 19th and 20th Honolulu, Hawai'i concerts. I even started growing my hair again. The concert promoters asked me about my hernia surgery. I told them that it should be over and done with by then and I will be all healed up. They asked me if I could run and slide across the length of the stage. I said probably not, but I could jump around and scream. They looked at me dubiously. Everything looked like it was a go. Then they asked me what my set consisted of and my repertoire. I unfortunately had to tell them...the only songs I knew how to play in their entirety...were you guessed it. Def Leppard songs. That killed the deal. Now I am trying to find Bruno Mars's cell number...

Kāne Pō...
I visited this large pōhaku from Hawai'i Island sitting in the sidewalk in Washington, D.C. on a cold Autumn day over ten-years ago. He is named Kāne Pō. I placed my hand on him and felt bitter cold. He is supposed to return back to Volcano after twenty-years. I don't know when that time is up but I think he needs to come home now. Just my feeling...
Gratitude...
Today I had to pick up some prescription medicine at Long's Drugs CVS Pharmacy in Mo'ili'ili. I decided to give my son, Elliott, a ride to his Organic Chemistry Summer School class. As we started out our drive, we approached and slowly passed a man who appears to be in his twenties. I have seen him before. He walks around barefoot, overly dressed in dirty clothes, always moving slowly and somewhat laboriously in a kind of daze. He wears a blanket draped around his neck which is probably his bed every night. His hair is tangled and his face dirty as well. I saw him once in a grocery store, wandering around aimlessly, up and down the aisles looking at the shelves, all the while an undercover loss prevention worker, trying to be discreet, tailed him around the store. I thought about giving him a twenty so he could buy something, which would probably anger the store management, but by the time I made that decision and looked around for him, he had left the store.

Perspective...
I find myself lying on my back more often now to keep from aggravating my three hernia until I can get them surgically repaired. Sometimes the view is refreshing however and gives me a new perspective on Life...
Balance...
I came across this half-black and half-red p ō haku in a grassy field in Ka' ū on Hawai'i Island. She Consumes the ' Ā ina. The ' Ā ina she, herself, Created...
