It was a banner year for trick-or-treating in the Kailua area. We had 25 kids come by the house! Though about half of the tricksters were either in high school or maybe even college.
Didn’t see any great costumes. Maybe the best was a Fred and Wilma Flintstone.

No sooner did I lament the absence of Rory Wild on I-94, he’s back from vacation just in time for Wicked Wahine Wednesday. I didn’t change the station or tune in my iPod. I just listened as the Wake Up Crew talked to Randy and PoK (the Pride of Kaneohe) about their Wicked [...]

Rory Wild of the 93.9 Wake Up Crew must be on vacation again, leaving Gregg Hammer, Natasha, and Krey-Z Oshiro to hold down the morning show. You know what that means? Tuning out and tuning in my iPod. Even Men Are Slime Tuesdays couldn’t hold my interest without Rory leading the way. [...]
