Monthly Archives: December 2013

I just finished the 9th draft of my Writing Project #1 with 78,300 words, a fictional story I came up with when I couldn’t sleep on October 11 to 12, 2006. It is the first of four writing projects I am working on as part of a series.

I enjoyed Christmas with my family in Pearl City. We Skyped my sister Mia and niece Elyse who are in San Mateo, California. I also spent time with two of my childhood friends.

I was saddened to recently learn of the passing of Hawaii State Health Department Director Lorretta Fuddy in a plane crash off of Molakai earlier today, December 11, 2013. I got the opportunity to know her while working on legislative issues. My thoughts are with her and her family.

I attended the fundraiser for Hawaii State Representatives Clift Tsuji of Hilo, Hawaii and Kyle Yamashita of upcountry Maui at Mandalay restaurant in Downtown, Honolulu this evening, Tuesday, December 10, 2013.

I ran the 2013 Honolulu Marathon on Sunday, December 8, 2013. It was the sixth Honolulu Marathon I ran in a row.
