    Now that the kids are older, we decided to participate in the 2012 Great Aloha Run. My wife is an active member of the Moms in Hawai'i internet community and they put a group together every year and we figured we'd join in on the fun. The kids didn't do too bad - there were a few points where I had to pick them up and put them on my shoulders so we could continue because the tears started streaming, but we finished. Perhaps the most rewarding part of the day was congratulating them on a job well done and applaudung their perserverance - life lessons that I am hoping they can take with them. We'll work on bettering our finish times next year, and the year after that. For now, enjoy the photos!

    November 5th was Military Appreciation Night at Aloha Stadium when Utah State brought their brand of football up against the Hawaii Warriors. There were special presentations before kick-off, honoring military spouses, as well as a "wounded warrior" ceremony at halftime. Military and local dignitaries were there for the festivities, amongst a grateful crowd and the always jubilant University of Hawaii Marching Band.

    On the field and under a rainy Halawa sky, the hometown Warriors lead 31-14 after three quarters. Utah State then rallied for the comeback to win 35-31. Pre-season Heisman hopeful and quarterback Bryant Moniz finished with 227 yards through the air on 27-of-43 passing and joined Timmy Chang and Colt Brennan in the 10,000-plus yards club. The loss, however, puts Hawaii out of the race for the Western Athletic Conference title.

    As a huge Hawaii fan, it was great being on the sidelines shooting again. But it's always a privilage to honor the men and women who put their lives on the line for our freedom every day.

    (My blog wasn't very presentable at the time of this event so I'm finally posting now. Better late than never, right?)

    A number of us were extremely fortunate to be lifted to and tour the USS Ronald Reagan as it was exercising in Hawaiian waters for RIMPAC. We got to experience (up-close and personal) fighter jet take-off and landings on deck, as well and tour the belly and tower of this amazing machine. We also got to experience deceleration from 125 to 0 mph in two seconds and acceleration from 0 to 150 mph in three seconds. Crazy. And it was a blast - quite literally. Thank you, Captain Kenneth Norton, for your hospitality while onboard. I certainly have greater appreciation for our armed forces and your service to this country!
