His suicide took the world by surprise. First thoughts are why, he had it going on? But nobody knows what dark places he was in mentally. I loved your Parts Unknown series. Rest in peace.

Thoughts about the Lisa Au unsolved murder
This is one unsolved murder case in Honolulu that left a lasting impression with me. Maybe because it was the first high profile, sensational, and socially impacting one that I absorbed in the news as a young adult, recently moved to Hawaii at the time.

Hugh Hefner
In the passing of Playboy Hugh Hefner on Sep 27, I read a few humorous lines about him on various social media outlets. One was saying that he’s one person you can’t say is “in a better place”… arguably true I guess.

So here’s to the memory of recently departed Maurice White, of Earth, Wind & Fire.…

He was one of those whose abilities to do ad hoc and ad lib comedy as well as perform across the entire range of acting roles fro funny to serious.…

Remembering Shari
I didn’t know her personally or anything like that, but I saw her almost every night. Almost. Shari Shima was a familiar face on the local news channels I watched for years. Back in the early to mid 90s, co-worker used to argue as to whether Shari, on KITV, was prettier than Kimmie Gennaula at KGMB. I favored Kimmie but it was close call to me!…

Aloha Gen Schwarzkopf
Today’s news had the announcement that Gen Schwarzkopf has died. It didn’t specify what he died of. I had all but forgotten about him since the Gulf War days since he never resurfaced after retirement. Seeing/hearing about him just brought back thoughts and memories of those days.
