A three-day weekend.

Had a small, yet nice, birthday BBQ for Kaulana, and we still managed to fit in movie night. Went to see a friend&#8217;s band play at J.J. Dolan&#8217;s &#8212; they sounded great and hey, the pizza was pretty darned good, too! And wrap the weekend up with Shakedown rehearsal. Oh, hey, even got to mow the lawn.<\/p>\n<p>I remember before my father passed away, I used to try and stay as far away from home on the weekends. I guess that&#8217;s because I knew that I would have to do stuff around the house if I just stayed home. The freedom to do what I want when I wanted wasn&#8217;t there. As one would expect, it&#8217;s very different now. Of course, if I had the choice, I&#8217;d much rather have my dad still be here and alive. I really miss him. I&#8217;m happy that our relationship really improved before he died, but I&#8217;m sad that it took that long. Anyhow, that&#8217;s another story for another blog.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m kind of a homebody now, though I love to see and hang out with my friends. I guess that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m kind of spoiled when it comes to movie night. Everyone comes here. I feel bad that Kenny has to drive all the way from Pearl City every weekend.<\/p>\n<p>But yeah. This long weekend was too short, as they always are. That&#8217;s alright, because there&#8217;s always another one coming up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah yes.
