Orchids

This morning was so nice I decided to photograph the orchids. I’m sure the ones I got from my Father will never look this good again. Oh and Ben supervised.

Zen

We had date tonight at Zen here in downtown Alameda. The Kakuni Pork Belly was to die for.

Today I received a Sony NSZ-GT1 in the mail. This is a BD-DVD player with internet capability. It hooks up to the internet via cable or WiFi. For years I had a Mini ITX PC under my TV which I never got going… now it’s obsolete. I’ll subscribe to Netflix and download movies right to my TV.

iPad2 Cam

The new iPad has 2 cameras… I think something is wrong with mine.

iPad 2

Picked it up via Fed Exp today. We’ll see if the hype is true. Rhea bought my iPad 1 & it is on its way.

Dragon Rouge

Yesterday we had brunch at the Dragon Rouge here in Alameda.

Back to Honolulu

Had 24 hours in Honolulu to fix a problem. Needless to say I didn’t have time to do anything but eat a couple of meals and sleep.

Honolulu March 2011

Work calls again in Honolulu. I usually don’t make the effort to eat well as I hate eating alone and am usually too tired to call anyone. This time I made an effort to break some of my habits and made dinner commitments.

I flew in Tuesday about noon and worked until 5:30 (13 hr day). I then rush back to check into the hotel. The Asato’s picked me up and took me to a fabulous restaurant, 3660 on the rise in Kaimuki.

Wednesday was another long day but I managed to meet up with Auntie Amy & Cait as our paths crossed in HI. Cait bought me a belated Birthday dinner at Alan Wong’s Pineapple Room which was very impressive. Mahalo Cait!
