  • Saw Sister Madonna at the expo yesterday. Spending the afternoon at the med conference. Anyone Wang to play tomorrow after breakfast? I leave tomorrow night and am not sure what to do with myself.

     Just saw this on the wall in my condo (which is odd, cause I've stayed here - same room - three times now for a total of maybe 5 weeks), a little poster with Hawaiian words for each of the letters in "Aloha":

    A = kindness

    L = unity

    O= agreeable

    H stands for ha'aha'a, meaning HUMILITY, to be expressed with modesty and

    A stands for ahonu'i, meaning  PATIENCE, to be expressed perseverance.

     

    it think this is one post for which we Really need the like button here!

  • More post-race Kona spottings: the Newton team was gathered around the bar at the Sheraton before the Awards Banquet. Rachel Joyce, Crowie ... and Andy Potts at breakfast this morning to boot!



    I dared my brotherto walk up to Craig Alexander, ask for an autograph and then present him the November Lava Magazine with Macca on the cover, but we didn't have the nerve.

  • Last name-dropping sighting in the series: saw a very rested uber-family man and celebrity coach Patrick McCrann with kids at the Sheraton Pool yesterday. Too star-struck to get an autograph.

    Also went for a swim at Dig Me beach in the afternoon, and Dave Scott and his wife were starting out as I finished. They had maybe 3% body fat on the both of them.
  • Wonderful stuff. Thanks for posting. :-)
