Today, Joyce stopped by my office with her granddaughter to fill her employment papers. She brought a kadomatsu and mochi with a tangerine for good luck. Later, Representative K. Mark Takai brought another set of mochi and tangerine. In November, Representative Glen Wakai had a priest bless the office. We sure are getting as much luck as we can as we enter our first legislative session!

I had breakfast with former Senate President Norman Mizuguchi. It was nice to hear his stories and advice. He seems so relaxed now since he’s been out of politics.

Last week, I called former Representative Tom Okamura to “talk story.”

It is such an honor to have the opportunity to talk with former leaders of Hawaii.
