Update in Words
I just received an e-mail from Mr. James Lambert wherein he lamented that I should write more concerning things here in Hawaii. This is something that I've been meaning to do, so thanks James for giving me the motivation.
I recently talked about how poor the basketball team is here, and how much I missed KU basketball. James wrote that he went to the Arizona midnight madness and people got mad at him for wearing a Kansas shirt that I gave him awhile back, props to James.
Louisville is actually coming to town to play an exhibition game against BYU-Hawaii this coming Saturday. Nicole and I are going to watch it. The Maui Classic is coming up too, but flying to another island isn't in our budget at the time, maybe next year.
James and Adam both voted for John Kerry. James campaigned actively for him. It was interesting to hear that people were more interested as to why Adam voted for Kerry then this mysterious girl that he "wanted but didn't like." Politics is a funny thing, and so is Adam.
Nicole and I recently went to a state football playoff game. Kahuku, a school with a lot of Mormons on it, played Mililani. It was awesome. Both teams would have destroyed my high school team, the mighty Thunderbirds of Shawnee Heights. One thing that I learned was that wherever you go cheerleaders have the same cheers. You would have thought I was actually a Kahuku Red Raider by the way I was keeping up with the cheers. It didn't even matter that I was a scrawny white guy amidst a predominantly Polynesian crowd. Before Kahuku football games they do the haka in front of the other team, probably as an act of intimidation. It made me think of the time Creighton and James did their version of the "
Haka" at James' birthday a couple of years ago.
I talked to
Sherman yesterday, he has a blog too. He has one for the Young Mens organization too, where he is advertising for a book he wrote,
just scroll to the very bottom of his blog. For anyone who knows Sherman, you should check them out.
So far, Hawaii has treated us good. More updates to come...
