RH> Hi Carol,


Hehe I think maybe I hit back where I was sorta here.

RH> It was just Frank's way of trying to get around the Hawaiian language.

Had a wonderful but simple dinner here.  Canned Asparagus (hey, we find it
quite fine for us!), Pork Chops (marinaded the ay in the fridge), Rice-a-roni
(now and again, yes, we like it.  Don added mushrooms to it and used the
canned mushroom water for the 'broth' using also the canned asparagus water
for the rest needed).

 CS> Kamehemeha.  My spelling is probably a bit off after all these years
 CS> for us.  Left there in 1989.


RH> Likelike (pronounced lee-key lee-key) and Kamehameha; you were close
RH> which isn't bad for being gone for so long.  Most folks just referred
RH> the latter highway as "the Kam highway".  Advertiser one time ran an

Yeah.  I remember that.  Kam Highway.  H1 actually on part of it I think?

 CS> Could have had something to do (his smiles) with the fact that later
 CS> Don told me I had my bathrobe on inside out.

RH> And the report of it probably spread thru the hotel staff. (G)

naw, prpbably happened too often for it to be a news item <g>.


 CS> Oh, we did go to the 'party' early evening before we went to our room.
 CS>  You know, Don Ho and all that.  Longest married couple, newest
 CS> married couple (we won that one easily being just 2 hours and foks

RH> We never saw Don Ho perform; he had a stem cells into the heart muscle

RH> this spring & summer, it has done him good but he cut back on his
RH> performance schedule.

Ah, well this was 1986.  He was still performing regular then.


 CS> there.  Pretty sure.  All I really remember was Don in a grass skirt
 CS> dancing on the stage for me.

RH> That's all you should remember at that stage of married life. (G)

\sigh\ he was so cute!


RH> We didn't spend that much time downtown overall.  Went to the Hilton
RH> Hawaiian Village once to see some friends who'd just arrived and short
RH> after we did and the "Jeopardy" try outs this past February but most
RH> times if we were in the area, we were at the Hale Koa.

I didnt spend much time there either, which is why it remained 'special' for
us.  Every now and again, we'd take off and enjoy a day there.  Didnt do it
enough to destroy it as a 'special place' for us.

RH> White new year?  Be on the look out for a small package from Steve in
RH> the next few days (depending on holiday mail).

Turned cold again.  Gonna freeze my ass of tomorrow night it looks like.  We
got warmer yesterday but it's getting cold again.

 CS> roughly similar to Miami (maybe a bit north, but not as far as
 CS> Tallahasse).

RH> But no Gulf Stream or similar waters to moderate the temeprature.
RH> BRRRR!

Yup.  Wind sweeps down here from believe it or not, Siberia.
