The multi-generational North Hawaii Bon Dancers at the Waimea Cherry Blossom Festival yesterday. Their dance routine was set to the 1972 song 'Beautiful Sunday' by Daniel Boone, which is widely regarded as the biggest-selling Western single ever in Japan. I DID NOT KNOW THAT.

These keiki lion dancers were so adorable. This one received a ton of 🧧 red envelopes! ("lai see" or "hung bao") Those offerings symbolize good luck, prosperity, and blessings for the new year. #Hawaii #ChineseNewYear #LionDancer

Poor Kainalu had his booth up next to the stage so he had to hear my voice blaring in my ear all day. Such a sweet guy.. I so enjoyed talking story with him afterwards. #Hawaii #Waimea

Also great to see my old friend and colleague @hawaiiboy.bsky.social so great to catch up after all these years!

Be good to yourself, because nobody else has the power to make you happy.

Preach

Hawaiian Electric is already out trimming trees and prepping the grid for the heavy winds and rain headed our way. Also doing extra inspections on broadcast lines so we don’t lose the Super Bowl or Olympics feeds. #Hawaii
