Originally uploaded by Lanimoo
So one of my goals this year was to walk the 8.15 mile Great Aloha Run. I signed up thinking I’d join in with some friends, but wound up doing it solo in 2:51:42! No bad for no training, right? There’s a link to more pictures on my Flickr site [...]

**So I started this back a while ago and I got a bit busy with work and more PCF activities, so I’m sorry it’s taken so long! You’ll note I’ve decided to break up our days into each section so you it won’t take me so long to do the posts and they’ll be shorter. [...]

Mercy, Mercy Me!
From time to time we break from agenda and get to take a side excursion to look at something cool that affects our community. On May 9 the Fellows were invited to tour the US Navy’s Mercy before she began her journey as part of the Pacific Partnership bringing aid to underdeveloped countries in [...]

Time to Get Edu-ma-cated!
Sorry it’s been awhile since my last post! I started writing this a few weeks ago, but it’s taken a bit to finish.
The end of April brought the Fellows up close and personal with all things school for Education Day. This particular area is especially important to me since I grew up in [...]

Breakfast with Mineta
So from time to time, the Fellows are fortunate to gain access to noteworthy folks who are in town for one reason or another to listen to their wisdom and learn. You never know who or when, but if you get the email or the call, it’s be there or be square. [...]

It’s Easy Being Green
March brought our next adventure, Environmental Day. First thought that comes to mind… “I love the smell of raw sewage in the morning.” Yep, that’s right, we started at the Honoulului Wastewater Treatment Facility. And yes, I’m kidding about the smell. It was HORRIBLE, especially in certain areas we toured, though [...]

(**Warning – this is a LONG post, but there’s a lot to say. This might be par for the course as we go, but I figured I should warn you to grab your coffee and settle in for a tale.)

Sweet Retreat
Okay, so now that you know how to become a fellow, I’m going to work my way through our adventures from the first activity to now. I have to warn you, I didn’t have my camera with me for the first few adventures so it’s not nearly as visually exciting for a bit. [...]
