The Worst Night Of Your Life
December 31, 2024
In New York, I rarely talk to the Uber drivers. In fact, I dread it if they start conversation with me. I’d rather be treated like a princess and we have zero conversion. Almost always, I’m listening to music in my headphones anyway. In Hawaii, if I took an Uber, I’d always have a conversation

Slap the Ham
December 29, 2024
Years ago, when I was a scrawny teenager working in a catering hall, I quietly stood in the kitchen waiting for my “duty” of the cocktail hour, which was almost always passing hors d’oeuvres. I didn’t mind it much, because it was mindless, and I, like everyone else, would snatch appetizers off the plate and

Why Are You Single
December 20, 2024
It’s a question I’m asked all too frequently. By suitors, strangers, or sometimes even friends. Frankly, it’s kind of irritating. Because no one ever asks a married person why they are married. Wait… that’s not true. I’ve done that on a number of occasions where someone is bitching about their husband or wife. But still.

Eye of the Tiger
December 11, 2024
“Who here would like to see a tiger shark?” The woman with a wetsuit half on, holding a clipboard full of information asks. I look around the boat at the nine other adventurers. It’s mostly couples, one family, I’m the only solo person on this boat. Slowly, I half raise my hand. “Well, we don’t

One Peak, Two Peak, Death Valley, Three Peak
December 4, 2024
“The Olomana Trail, also known as the ‘Three Peaks Hike’ is one of the best challenging hiking trails on Oahu,” I literally copied and pasted that from an online travel magazine, ‘Journey Era.’ Naturally, I’ve had my eye on the challenge for sometime. Ideally, I would have have a hiking/climbing buddy with me, but despite

Dear Uncle Dennis
November 19, 2024
Dear Uncle Dennis, To say you are missed would be an understatement. Not just by me. I’m sorry your last years here were turbulent with illness. I’m sorry you won’t see your granddaughter’s grow up. I’m sorry you won’t be here for Christmas. I’m sorry there was no way for us to save you. I’m

Big Island: Manta Rays, Meth and Waterfalls
November 18, 2024
On top of Rainbow Falls, a man who looked liked if Gandalf was smoking crack in his pipe for a couple centuries, calls to me, a lone traveler exploring the area, “if you don’t have a boyfriend, wanna get high with me?” “No thank you,” I said, as he’s not my type, nor is crack

Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run Away
November 6, 2024
Though I remain married to New York, Hawaii is like my much sexier mistress whom I’ve fallen head over heels for but am too afraid to leave my spouse for her in any permanent way. Limerence be damned, this is true love. My heart sings for Hawaii, the glimmering pellucid turquoise water filled with sea

Wonder Boy
October 29, 2024
My Mom or Mimi, as she is called by her three grand-kids, gets a call from Blaise. Her youngest grandchild at three years old, my brother’s son. “Mimi!” he exclaims in his oh so cute cartoonish kid voice, “I have to come over and fix your flat tire! Do you have the tools? Do you

I’ve been to New York Comic con a couple times in the past. For those of those who’ve never been, Comic Con is a huge event for nerds, dorks and pop culture enthusiasts. I am all three! There are panels and sneak peak glimpses in what’s to come in the world of movies, tv, comics
