Whatta Nice Day

Saturday, I woke up nice and late and everything went like clockwork. I made my good connections with the Nanakuli Lumber Yard next door and they had my lumber cut and ready. What a wonderful world.

"You have two chances of making good without working, slim and none."

The details with the church are evolving slowly and I hope Jason becomes our first Guest Author in the Nanakuli Ridge blog. So we go slow. but we are going to get some good people there.

Got ready for my trip to Aliamanu in the afternoon and I got to Aliamanu Intermediate right around six and only Roger Yang was there, he got the first DVD. Waited about ten minutes and was able to get a photo of the Early Birds, always one of my favorite photos.

Anna and Jim Arrowhead, Roger Yang - DJ, Harrison Hirahara, Lynn Twigg and
Maurice Morita, the early birds. I am still pressing the button down too fast. Blurry pic.

Photo submitted by Maurice: left and right Derek Shimabukuro and Lenette Miyamura.

Center: Ping and Hector Centeno.

Maurice Adds: New Dance Hawaii members: Derek Shimabukuro and Lenette Miyamura, Derek is the father of Jake and Bruce Shimabukuro. Hector & Ping Centeno are Dance Hawaii American Social dance instructors at Aliamanu Elementary School.

Margaret, Kevin, Cora, Wayne, Lasting and Fil,  three of my favorite couples

and lucky I was slower in the button, I'm learning.

Waited around and slowly became aware and ratified my suspicions. In everything I do, I try to include everyone in our dancing world. However some do not wish to be included. And I reiterate, my intentions are to include, but if they wish to be excluded, we must respect their wishes. But we must continue to go on. we have much work ahead of us. If we are careful, it will be easy enough, and we have enough people to help.

These people know how to dance for fun, none of that Mickey Mouse stuff.

The dancers came in and perhaps this group will get more later on when they get more people that are not in some kind of private class. This is coming, we just have to be aware why it is happening. On the island of Oahu, different factions shape up fairly fast. In West Oahu we are beginning to get some but fortunately few and we know who they are and all we have to do is avoid them. It is a bit tricky, but we have a brand new dancing world shaping up in the West and it going to be for all of us to enjoy.

Gotta quote for Maurice: "Come Dance With Us." I tried to shorten it, it was too long but I failed as per usual in this sort of thing.The crowd was nice just a trifle small, and I gave the last DVD to Tony's wife, I see him everywhere.

Left at a little after 8, Got the bike on the 40 bus before 8:30, was able to get a seat and was home by ten. Put on some nice music and made myself a nice Rum & Coke. So how was your day?
