To everyone going back to work today -it’s Thursday. Not Monday. I think.

First morning walk of the year. Happy 2025 to you and you and to you and especially to you in the back. #hawaii #keeponmoving #happynewyear

Happy New Year! 🎊🎈🎆 I hope your pets are safe! #happynewyear

Hualalai Mountain in the distance over Kailua-Kona and clearly visible volcanic haze “vog” from the current Kīlauea eruption. #hawaii #vog #roadtrip

Mid point on Saddle Road -Daniel K Inouye Hawaii - not a cloud in the sky. #hawaii #roadtrip

Off to Kailua-Kona from Hilo for our annual broadcast from Pacific Fireworks with Billy Kervick at the helm. Excelsior! #hawaii #NewYear’sEve

The doors are open, the night sky is changing overhead.. here comes the night. #hawaii #night

Welcome to week 2 of the holiday donut week. A holiday week with a hole in the middle. #monday

Texting with my son whose plane is zooming over the Pacific at 600 mph at 40,000 feet and thinking it’s no big deal until I realize I AM TEXTING MY SON WHO IS IN THE FREAKING STRATOSPHERE OMG THIS IS CRAZY. I refuse to forget just how amazing this is.

Awww man.. Jimmy Carter has died.

The sign said “FIREWORKS” but REWORK seems more appropriate going into a new year and new you. #happynewyear (December 29, 2018)

Never gets easier saying goodbye but I’m so proud of my son and my daughter-in-law. We crammed in a lot of fun in seven days. Holiday parties, ant bites, a mouse! Now heading back today to their life in Las Vegas.

Just took down all the Christmas decorations. Consider this house dechristmassed.

Good morning! (December 31st, 2016) #hawaii #fireworks #NewYear’sThrowback #hipstamatic

Merry Christmas everyone!

Late night last night! Aaack. BUT.... Kilauea is erupting. Hit up the livestream below. Very cool! #hawaii #kilauea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DeUi4w9xEw&ab_channel=ApauHawaiiTours

Ola Brew at 5:06am December 21st, 2021. The Christmas tree and traffic lights just caught my eye. #hawaii

I’m not a big Marvel fan but my son is. He was watching Ironman 3 when I got home last night. (It’s Christmas-y) My first instinct was to go to sleep but realized I won’t get many chances like this. I ended up enjoying it. Plus I love Robert Downey Jr. The kid may make me a Marvel fan yet!

Greetings Mastodonians. Sunday, right? Mmkay.

Happy anniversary Brian and Mel Brokaw. This was 5 years ago already? Sheesh. Time is not slowing down one bit. Awesome people and proud parents of two now. #wedding #anniversary

Saw this bad boy chilling by itself at Hilo International Airport when picking the kids up this morning. Omni International. Hmmmm. Wonder what’s up? #aviation #airplane

The Nevadans are here! As soon as they had something to eat they were OUT COLD. Redeye from #lasvegas will do that to ya. Here for a week during their school break (they’re both educators).

Kids just landed at HNL. Psyched. They arrive in Hilo in about 2 hours. I’m that irritating dad who follows Flightradar24 and posts things like “you’re at 40,000 feet” lol

Snowflake decorations backlit from the full moon. (December 17, 2021) #hawaii #christmas

My friend Ronnie Taylor and her son Bubba stopped by to say hi yesterday. We used to live close by our old place in Kaumana. Bubba is a boy genius. Brilliant kid. Huge Cubs fans.

It’s happening! Our flagship station just announced the line-up for our 28th KWXX Ho’olaule’a. Details are on their website and on social media. #kwxxhoolaulea #hawaii

Hanging on in quiet desperation. But with style.

I did the 1 AM wake up and wondering what the fuck am I doing with my life? The world is passing me by as I fall further behind and irrelevancy is right around the corner. That I had my 1st cup of coffee. All better now.

I think Elon is now running his own #SquidGames now

Something funny I noticed. My wife is the star of our family group text with our adult children. They respond to every single text she puts out there. Makes sense. It reflects the same dynamic IRL. I asked the same question 3 times over the course of a day. Crickets. Not a complaint. Just funny.

Let me sleep on it. Woke up with “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” blaring in my head this morning.

We made it! Aloha Friday ✅

The new Superman trailer looks epic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhUht6vAsMY&ab_channel=DC

Huge help. Thanks, Target!

Today is national caroling day. I don’t think I’ve gone Christmas caroling since the early 80s.

Friday Eve! Okay it’s Thursday but still..

Wisdom Of The Day: “What I don’t like about office Christmas parties is looking for a job the next day.” - Phyllis Diller

Let the Wednesday festivities begin. Wow Christmas is one week from today.

So sad. Two are dead after a cargo plane crashed after takeoff in HNL earlier this afternoon. #hawaii

UP AND ATOM! Hurriedly preparing today's show. Good morning!

Good morning! Let’s all be safe and I get carried away.

What are friends for? To cackle with delight while capturing the moment when you can barely cross the finish line. Well done Calvin Do of Cupertino, California. #birdmarathon #hawaii

Aloha Sunday! At Shipman Park in Kea’au for another race. The Hawaii bird conservation marathon. This race quite literally is for the birds. #hawaii #running #hawaiirunners

My friend Ira Kekaualua of the band Kolea. We were talking stories this morning at the Hilo Bay Jingle Bell 5K. #hawaii #friends #kolea

My friend @kahuku crosses the finish line to a waiting medal. Well done! Always great to see you! #hawaii #runnersofmastodon

Amazing turnout for the First Annual Hilo Bay Jingle Bell 5K. So many families participated including this mother and son crossing the finish line together. #hawaii #hilo #runwalk

And they’re off! Hilo Bay Jingle Bell 5K now in the history book.. #hawaii

Here we are. Looking for malasadas.

Driving behind the slowest driver in town and I’ve already created their entire backstory.

Honestly the most important job of an emcee is to set the tone. Oh and pronounce names correctly.
