This morning we went out to brunch before I had to head to the airport. We went back to Joni's house and I said my goodbyes and headed to the airport. Smooth sailing on the freeway. I dropped off the rental car and made my way to the terminal. Luckily I had checked in and paid my baggage fees online, so I got to stand in the short line to check my bag in. Then headed up to security. The line was out the door so I had to stand out in the cold for about 2o minutes until we got inside. Once through security I made my way to the gate. Found out that my flight was delayed an hour so I would be arriving in Reno after 7pm. I tried to reach Aunty Dannie but she didn't pick up her phone so I called Iris and asked her to try to reach Aunty Dannie while I was on the plane.
Aunty Dannie waited for me to have dinner. She was starving. I should have told her to just grab something.

Frazier Park
On Saturday we drove North for a little over an hour to Frazier Park for some snow play. It was very cold. We stayed for about 2 hours then headed back home. On the way, we stopped at Chili's for dinner.

Universal Studios
On the 26th, Iris and I took the kids to Universal Studios. I don't know what the temperature was but it was cold. Matt wore shorts, but at least he had a hoodie. He was freezing. It was very cold and every chance we got to step inside a store or restaurant we took it. The last attraction of the day was Backdraft and the heat from the flames was a brief but welcome comfort from the cold outside.
We met the rest of the family downtown at BCD Tofu House for dinner. Then took a drive through Beverly Hills/Rodeo Drive before heading home.

L.A. beats Boston
Christmas Day in L.A. Iris and I attended the Lakers Celtics game at Staples Center. It was an amazing party atmosphere. The tickets cost $240 each and $20 for parking but it was worth it for a great Christmas day present.
When we got downtown, it was drizzling a bit. The temperature was about 40 degrees. We parked and walked two blocks to The Staples Center passing the brand new Nokia Center on the way.
Game recap:
When we got downtown, it was drizzling a bit. The temperature was about 40 degrees. We parked and walked two blocks to The Staples Center passing the brand new Nokia Center on the way.
Game recap:
Kobe Bryant had 27 points, nine rebounds and five assists, Pau Gasol scored seven of his 20 points in the final three minutes, and the Lakers used a strong finish to beat Boston 92-83 Thursday, snapping the Celtics' franchise-record 19-game winning streak.
The victory was the 1,000th for Los Angeles' Phil Jackson, enabling him to become the sixth NBA coach to reach that milestone. The 63-year-old Jackson has a career record of 1,000-423 in 17-plus seasons as coach of the Chicago Bulls and Lakers. He became the fastest to win 1,000 games, surpassing Pat Riley, who did it in 1,434 games.
The Celtics entered with a 27-2 record - the fastest start by a two-loss team. They were in pretty good shape when Kevin Garnett dunked off a feed from Rajon Rondo to put them ahead 81-79 with 3:57 remaining. But the Lakers went on a 13-2 run to finish the game.

Busy weekend and finally relief
Well Ashley had a busy weekend. Friday night she played in pep band for the Iolani Water Polo Team. They lost to Punahou 4-6. Saturday morning she attended Marissa's birthday party at Krazy Karaoke.
Saturday afternoon it was off to school for a photo shoot for marching band then off to Aloha Stadium. We took on #1 St Louis and boy was it a great game. First off we heard that UH beat Fresno St. in Fresno, in overtime. Wow! Then the football team played possibly the game of their short careers by holding of St Louis in a game that went down to the wire. What a game.
On Sunday, Ashley had to go to HYS rehearsal from 12 to 2 then off to marching band practice from 3 - 5.
Well about 5 weeks ago, our air conditioner finally gave out. We went over a month without a/c. While it was good on the pocketbook, the electricity bill for September was significantly lower than usual, it was a very difficult September to get through. You could barely stand the heat in the house during the day. Luckily we didn't have to endure too many days in the heat but even well into the evening it was still very uncomfortable. Well that all ended today. Yesterday and today, we had a new air conditioning system installed. More energy efficient and quieter, we're finally comfortable again. Later on this week we're having someone redo the front wall and repair the front sidewalk. I'll try to get some pictures of the before and after.

HYS Rehearsals and a busy schedule
Ashley started HYS rehearsals last Sunday. It's a big commitment to have to go to practice every Sunday. We'll be missing out on the Sophomore Celebration at Hawaiian Adventures Water Park in September. I know Ashley was really disappointed about that.
This Friday is Pep Band at Aloha Stadium. 'Iolani is taking on Damien. Then next weekend they march at halftime at the game against Word of Life Academy. Followed by the Aloha Week Parade on Saturday then HYS rehearsal on Sunday. It's going to be a busy weekend.
On top of all of Ashley's activities, I'm supposed to be coming in for Downtime on Sunday morning. I don't know how I'm going to survive that weekend. Oh well.
Oh, did I mention that Iris is the new Band Mom. And of course I'm an automatic volunteer.

Father Bray game
Saturday night was the annual Father Bray Classic at Aloha Stadium. The 'Iolani Marching Band had their first performance of the season. Iris and I volunteered as chaperones. This was our first experience as marching band parents.
The halftime show went off without a hitch. 'Iolani beat Kamehameha/Maui campus 39-0.

Band Camp
Ashley leaves for band camp tomorrow morning. She spent the weekend packing. This is not the first time away for her but we tried to let her do all her packing on her own this time. She still needed help but she's getting the hang of it. She'll be gone for 3 nights and 4 days. The camp is being held at Hawaii Prep Academy in Kamuela on the Big Island of Hawaii. They'll be dorming on campus. She's excited about going so that's good. Just 3 weeks until their first performance at the Father Bray game on August 16th.
If we get up early enough we'll stop at McDonalds for breakfast.

Youth Symphony
What a surprise! Ashley got a letter from Hawaii Youth Symphony saying that there was an opening in Concert Orchestra and that she was selected to fill the spot. Great news. So we filled out the registration papers and sent them in. $350 for registration. The seasons rehearsal starts on August 31.

Trip to Reno
Went to Reno with my aunt on the 10th. Spent four nights there. Stayed at the Silver Legacy of course. There was a small slot tournament going on. They used Wheel of Fortune machines for the first time and it didn't go over well. Waiting for the wheel to spin took too much time and didn't yield a lot of points.
I hit a couple of small jackpots this time around. A $1200 and The Royal flush pictured below. Nothing else significant. Came home with a little money this time.

What a weekend
Well what a weekend. What could have been a a washout turned into quite a busy weekend for us. Let me take you back a few weeks to explain. We were trying to plan a family vacation but because of our schedules we couldn't find a time to get away except for the 4th of July. So we decided to go to Maui on the Superferry.
The plan was to take a day trip, leave in the morning and come back in the evening. Since the Superferry runs 2 round trips to Maui on Friday we thought that would be perfect. So anyway I booked the trip on the Superferry, made plans for horseback riding and we were set.
That was about 4 weeks ago. Well about a week before the trip, a Superferry agent called us up to let us know that they were canceling the evening voyage to Maui. Instead they were going to run a fireworks cruise out in front of Ala Moana Beach. Well I was a little upset to say the least. But as the conversation went on, she asked that if we could reschedule our trip, they would give us three round trip vouchers for future travel on the Superferry. Ok that's the least they could do. Well in addition to that, they invited us on the Fourth of July fireworks cruise as well. Cool. In addition to being invited onto the cruise, we were allowed to invite 1 guest each. Another bonus. So we ended up rescheduling our Maui trip to the 5th, staying overnight and returning on the 6th.
So the Fourth of July cruise was set to sail at 7pm. We got to the pier just before five and there was already a line of cars waiting to park. Yikes! But it was too bad. We waited for about 10 minutes then they let us in, checked our invitations and guided us to the parking area. From there we walked onto the ferry via the vehicle loading ramp, then up to the passenger deck.
Once on the passenger deck we scoped out a place to park our butts. Found one of the large booths for the six of us then proceeded to explore the rest of the boat. More about what's available on the Superferry later in this post. While we were still in port, we were treated to a wonderful Fourth of July picnic. Complimentary hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and potato salad was available as well as soft drinks. We all got our plates and sat down for the dinner time meal. By the time we were done with our meal the ferry was ready to get under way.
The ferry cruised out of the harbor at exactly 7pm. Since it was still early the captain made a couple of passes in front of Waikiki, then headed out around Diamond Head so we could watch the Maunalua Bay Fireworks show. He didn't go all the way out to Hawaii Kai so the show was view from a distance. I guess he wanted to make sure he got back to Ala Moana in time for the 8:30 show. We watched the Ala Moana show from the Observation deck on the back of the ferry. At the same time that the Ala Moana show was going on we could see the Kapolei fireworks show going off in the distance. Following both the Ala Moana and Kapolei shows we were treated to a third show from Hickam/Pearl Harbor. All in all a great night. We got back to port early, about 9:30pm, disembarked then headed home. After dropping off Ashley's friends we got home around 10:30pm. Just enough time to clean up and get to bed.
The next morning the alarm went off at 3:15am. Everyone was getting ready to leave. Out the door at 4:18am and down to Costco Gas to top off the tank. Then a quick stop at Zippy's to pick up some breakfast and then off to pier 19. By the time we got there it was about 5:10am and there were already cars lined up to be loaded onto the ferry.
The check in process is pretty quick. They check your id's, look in, under and around your car, ask a few simple questions then send you off to the vehicle queuing area. There you wait until it's time to load the ferry. We waited about 15-20 minutes. Once they started loading it went pretty quickly. We drove up into the ferry, got out of our car and walked up two flights of stairs to the passenger compartment.
The passenger compartment covers almost the entire length of the ferry. There's a Galley at the mid section which features an assortment of salads, sandwiches, soups, and sushi as well as a selection of pastries. Surf Break Lanai is in the aft (for you landlubbers, that's the back of the boat) section of the vessel, where passengers can enjoy a cold beverage and watch sports and local programming on flat screen televisions. The Hahalua Lounge is the premium cabin at the very front of the boat and is available for a $20 upgrade, Some of the features of the premium lounge are extra spacious comfortable leather seating, as well as unlimited coffee and fountain drinks for the duration of the trip. It's definitely worth the money. That is of course unless you are susceptible to sea sickness. Then you might want to stay away from the Hahalua Lounge. Since it's at the front of the boat you feel more of the up and down motion. They say it's better to sit in the middle since you are less likely to feel the rocking of the boat.
The passenger areas have a combination of seating arrangements from your typical airline type seating to leather bench seats as well as booths and tables with chairs that are bolted down to the floor so no one can topple over.
There are three places where you can actually step outside of the cabin to get some fresh air. At the very rear of the ferry is the Observation Deck. You can stand at the railing and get a feel of that salt air and mist spraying onto your face or you can sit back and relax in one of the many deck chairs. On either side of the ferry there is also an outdoor walkway where you can feel the ocean breeze whip through your hair as the ferry travels at about 27 knots. Depending on which direction you are going, these areas give you an excellent unobstructed view of the islands.
There are three videos below. One is a time lapse video of getting on and off the Superferry with a vehicle. The second video is the fireworks finale from Ala Moana Beach on the Fourth of July shot from the Observation Deck of the Superferry and the third is just a short video sitting up in the Hahalua Lounge on the way to Maui.

Honolulu Youth Symphony
Well Ashley got her letter from HYS. She didn't make the cut. Hopefully this will motivate her to try harder next year. She didn't even want to try out in the beginning but since her friends were auditioning, she decided she would too. Now she just needs to concentrate on marching band.
Maui on the Superferry
Ok so we booked a day trip on July 4th to Maui on the Superferry about 3 weeks ago. Then last week they called us saying that the return trip from Maui was cancelled because they're doing an invitation only fireworks cruise. Well of course that was kind of upsetting that they screwed up our plans. But what they did offer was to let us reschedule our trip, invite us on this 4th of July fireworks cruise and give us 3 roundtrip vouchers for a future trip.
We ended up rescheduling for the following day, July 5th and decided to stay overnight and return the next morning. So we'll be going on the fireworks cruise. We are allowed to bring one guest each so I told Ashley she could have all three guest invites. She invited, Shelby, Richard and Kara.

QBL
Well after 5 games we are 0-5. Our best game was tonight. We matched up with FTC, the best team in the league and played them straight up. We lost by 2 points. It came down to them making 2 free throws with 2 seconds left in the game. We were unable to capitalize with 2 seconds left. A valiant try and we can come out of this game with a lot of positive feelings. Next challenge, T8DH/Pharmacy.

Hawaii Youth Symphony and Band Camp
So we filled out the paperwork for Ashley to attend Band Camp at the end of July. Band Camp is going to cost $521. Marching Band practice starts the day after the last day of summer school. They'll learn the basics for four days then head off to Band Camp in Kamuela for another four days. After that they'll get the weekend off then it's practice two weeks straight for the Father Bray game.
After we got the Band Camp papers filled out, Ashley mentions that she wants to audition for Hawaii Youth Symphony. The audition application is due this Friday so I printed out the app and filled it out and sent it off this morning with the $25 application fee. Sent Auditions are on May 31st. She'll be trying out for YSII and CO.

QBL - Queen's Basketball League
Well today was the first "practice" of the IS Hackers. Yes, our department has fielded a team for the annual QBL. This is the first year of participation for IS and we had our first practice of sorts this afternoon. Well it was more of a 3 on 3 scrimmage since only Brad, Floyd, Tracy, Marvin, Ryan and I showed up.
Let me start by saying I'm so out of shape, it's not funny. I need to get back into basketball shape real fast. We have two weeks until the first game. We're going to need a lot of work before the season starts. Hopefully we'll be able to get in at least a couple of more practices before the first game.

'Iolani Fair
Well it was a busy week. Spent most of the week working at the 'Iolani Fair. On Friday we went to the fair around 5pm and stayed til closing. There was a lot of good food to eat.
Ashley attended Kawai Kon at the Convention Center on Saturday then we went back to the fair in the evening. Spent the early part of the evening hovering around the silent auction. Among other things there were basketballs signed by Jordan Farmar, Luke Walton, Lamar Odom and Derek Fisher. But what I had my eyes on were Kobe Bryant's autographed basketball shoes.

New PC
Just purchased a pc for Ashley. Her hand me down Dell has just about had it. I forget how old it is but it just doesn't cut it anymore. I purchased an HP Pavilion Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz, 2GB RAM, 400GB HD, DVD±RW, w/Vista preinstalled. It was a refurbished box. $438+shipping...not bad.
Ordered it from geeks.com on Friday and it got here on Tuesday. She's very happy with it since it's a marked improvement in speed over her old pc. This is the second computer this year. I bought an HP laptop earlier this year for myself. Picked that up at Costco.

Piccolo
In between helping at the Liholiho Fun Fair, I took Ashley down to Music Center of Hawaii to pick up a piccolo. Yes, she got her very own Yamaha piccolo. It's a professional model made out of Grenadilla wood. MCH was selling it for $1695 but I got them to come down in price because I found the same model being sold on ebay for $1299. They came down to $1450 which I thought was fair. Wanting to buy local, I was willing to pay more for that option.
Liholiho Fun Fair
Liholiho School had their 3rd annual Fun Fair yesterday. Iris has been spending a lot of time on coordinating the manpower for the fair. It was a great success with a lot of the community coming out to support the school. This year the fair included a petting zoo and pony rides. Ashley and I spent most of the day there helping with odds and ends. It was a nice day, sunny but not too hot. Everyone was a little worried leading up to the fair because of all the rainy weather we've been having the past few weeks. But it turned out to be a good day.

What A Great Start To The New Year
The New Year started with Lester stuck at Denver International Airport. He was supposed to be on his way to New Orleans to watch Hawaii play in the Sugar Bowl but his connecting flight got canceled because of crew issues. He ended up flying back to Reno and was able to watch the 2nd half of the game on the big screen at The Silver Legacy Casino.
While all that was happening, Iris and Ashley were flying home to Honolulu. They were greeted at home by a stuck lock. Yes they were locked out of the house. An emergency call to the locksmith and $136 later they were home.
In the meantime, Lester was stuck in Reno for another 2 days. Lester finally got home on the 3rd.
You can read all about my adventure on my other blog, Sugarbowlbound. It was supposed to be a capsule of my trip to New Orleans.
